How do you rest your players? Topic

Im curious how other people get rest for their starters.

For example, I have a LF starter on one of my teams with a DUR of 71. Clearly he's not starting every game. I rest him throughout the season, about every 5th game or so, making sure to keep him at 100%. I try to keep all of my positional starters at 100% for the whole season. Then if I get to the final 30 games or so, and I know its gonna be a close race, I crack the whip and no rest for anyone. I know my team will be fresh for that stretch run (and hopefully the other guy's team won't be).

What is your strategy/ theory on resting players who can't start 150+ games? Do you ride them until they drop below 100% then rest 'em? Do you let Simmy handle it with AutoRest? Do you have some kind of fancy formula that you use to determine how much rest a guy needs?

If a player has a stronger split against one side, I platoon lower dur players for a while in the early/mid part of the season.

I rest em early, toying with my lineups in the first 30 games, and then once I decide on something I like I ride em through the end.
