I have been building my team for a 4-4-2 formation (showcase in my signature) with the goal of having guys who can start any game, with a good rotation. Now, my team seems to be inconsistent. It will have a good run of form, then be unable to win some key games, especially in the league.

I identified a couple of guys (one DL, one MC) who just can't seem to perform at the level I want and they are on their way out. They are on auction and there are managers who made offers already.

Given that we often have two games per day, how do you rotate your guys? How frequently do you rest your starters?

I am thinking about shrinking the squad a bit and managing my rotation differently, asking more from players who perform better.

For instance, I use two MCs. I used to have four of them in squad, swapping them when I have a league and Cup/CL game on the same day.

I am thinking about having three of them and rotating one out for each game, using health packs to keep them fit.

Does that make sense to you?
I'm in my third full season, level three manager. Each game improves my players greatly and each Man of the Match means an automatic skill point for my best player. I play my best players as much as possible to increase their ability as quickly as possible. Plus, I use friendly's to determine ability and consistency, not actual matches. I farm greens to speed train and to improve health in between games.
