Содржина: A question about lines...

Hi all,
I have a quick question about whether to go with 3 or 4 lines?
How much will fatigue come into play if I use 3 lines as opposed to 4? Does it balance out because I will be using the 5 line-ups depending on the strength of the opposition?

Going with 4 lines forces me to fill out my roster to 40 leaving no room for new prospects or perhaps a good player from the market. if I go with 3 lines it gives me that wiggle room to experiment and buy players from the market or take on a new prospect from the academy and experiment with having a line that will not play at all only practice and see if they progress faster/slower/no difference that a line that practices and plays.

Any help is greatly apprecaited

thanks

You want to run 4 lines. They will lose less energy per game as the energy use depends on their playing time each game. I only go down to 3 lines for really important games or when I run a mid season camp.

Also, having 4 lines doesn't mean you don't have room for prospects. 4 lines with 2 goalies is only 22 players, leaving you 18 roster spots for prospects. Until you get a high training facility and sports academy, I wouldn't bother with many prospects, as they wont amount to much. Sell any really good players you get from the SA as low level facilities won't be able to develop them

Amen

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated
