If players are going to be able to get minutes towards training in forfeits, you also have to be willing to accept the risk of being injured. The other option is that no one can get injured if there is a forfeit, but no one gets any minutes.
This is not a strange or unknown occurrence to most experienced managers.
Neither is the fact that players don't get 48 minutes in forfeit. They get 36 if a starter, 10 as a backup (unless they were also the starter, then they get 5) and 2 as a reserve. So your players got exactly the minutes they should have received if set as starter/backup/reserve. Your real issue should be with your opponent who agreed to a scrimmage and then didn't set a lineup.
