I am not going to use a blank line up. I think I have an idea of what I want out of this team. It looks like all I need is for some of these managers with bigs to get busy training.

I guess that would be cool for the NT but man oh man..talk about taking the fun factor out of the game. Why do we even need a NT coach if all I do is pick the starting 12?

I doubt that it will be the reason I lose....I think a lack of big men will play a bigger part in the games I do lose.

I have seen how Wolph has used the blank lineups sometimes and they have been really good. However while they are sometimes good I still think that sometimes we need to manually set the lineups.

Examples
We are playing a team with a brilliant PG and our best defender is out SG. Then we will want to set a lineup where our SG swaps with our PG on defence.
We are playing a team with one weak player. We may want to play patient and put or main scoring threat in the position opposite him so he takes the majority of the shots.
We are playing a team with weak bigs. We may want to really pound the ball inside. So we could run a 2 x PG, 1 x PF and 2 x C lineup.

The blank lineup is supposed to be good if you are running just a very standard lineup probably it is better although there are some strange subs, but smart tactics are still better.

Obviously this is only for NT & B3 games, league and cup games would be a disaster as your training minutes and GS will be wrecked.

In the NT situation most teams are using blank now, so we will see lots of subbing everywhere and can't predict weak player.

I don't know about this....I have been asking around to other NT managers and they say that they set their own line up....Reason 1 was that it(blank line up) overlooks passing and OD at the SF spot and tends to want the REB/ID there. For this reason alone I will be setting my own line up. Reason 2 is what you stated above...GS....and that is a big reason to not let an AI select my line up.
