Yes, the good old standard question and perhaps the part of the problem... I failed to see earlier that I had forgotten to choose the "Follow depth chart" option, which I normally always use, so it was set as "Let coach decide". This is on me. So I guess the weird distribution of minutes definitely can be explained by this, partly at least. But it couldn't surely affect, that the players I set as subs just were picked as starters for the game, right? The GE surely does nor defy the lineup roles that I have set as manager?
