Any one do a wenger

does anyone play there reserves/youth for league cup games

for me it try to but i always forget

i try... and then end up not looking at the fixture and ruin it completely, gave up after like the first season xD

yep I do when I manage big teams

Only when I manage big teams.

Wouldn't do it for Pompey

Yes, i play my kids in the state league then rotate them when the national league starts. (brazil)

Figueirense <3

Sometimes I do, yes.

I don't make an effort to, but I usually need to rest players in those games anyways and my backups are usually quality young players. I try to promote from within where possible.

always, helps my players gain experience and match fitness. have won league cup with the kids before knocking out Fulham, Everton, Man City, Man Utd & Liverpool. Luke Freeman scoring extra time winner in final against Fulham.

I've created a competition where every squad member has to be under 23, forces me to play youngsters.

I am currently trying that with Liverpool. I signed a dozen 17 year olds and am trying to be a success. Unfortunately I only managed 4th in my first season(not quite finished yet) but have won the League cup and doing ok in the Champions League.

I forget to, seems a hassle switching so many players for one game then having to switch back!

Every single time. The board never care about the League Cup and if they don't win the FA Cup i win everything else so that makes up for that. I only use players who are currently being trained to take over for the first team regular, usually they are between 18 and 22. Few seasons I've had to use a mix of first team players and youths due to either injury or not enough youths in the first team squad.

yeah I do the same, I play the kids/fringe players in all the Carling Cup games and then against lower quarter prem teams.

Yes, use to do this on my old save. would usually get to the semi's then get someone like Chelsea or Arsenal and my youngsters would get a thrashing.

What I usually do is start 2 or 3 youngsters in cup games/league games against weak opposition and put 3 youngsters on the bench. Barring an absolute melt down, I usually play all 3 youngsters and let them get some experience.
