OK, so my first poll missed the mark. Let's see if we can still get some meaningful information.

Only a small sample size so far, but it appears that most use a deep roster and use one or two main formations.

It also sounds as if some of you don't regularly play your deep roster in meaningful games. The deeper part of your roster plays mostly friendlies while waiting for them to outplay the first string before switching them. Is this how you wait out young players who get 4's and 5's? Is the player's performance cyclical enough that you constantly cycle in and out of first team based on form?
