No reserve teams in MLS?

Why are there no reserves in MLS? It's impossible to keep your backup players fit this way.

After I played out a season, or so, with LAFC, they magically granted me LAFC II, essentially a reserve team.

Prior to that, I had to arrange first team friendly matches and play the kids in them. Hint: You can save your lineups so you can swap players rapidly.

Note: I'd love to have the ability for my assistant manager automatically arrange a weekly friendly (hopefully avoiding first team matches) to keep up fitness.

Also note: FM Touch isn't the full version: there is no reason every team in the game could not have (at least) a reserve team, in a reserve league, automatically, just to make this easier.

I understand the full versions is supposed to be close to reality - but FM Touch should give you some kind of basic tools to run your team and the reserve team, I think, would be such a tool.
