Key player, first teamer, etc etc

I was just wondering what everyone's take on this is.....

If you saw a recent post of mine you will have seen me moaning that my game must have a bug! It does not!!!

But I would like some info on the squad status option, obviously a key player is as it says on the tin (key) but what about first team?

For instance I like to have 22 players at least thats 2 for every position, if one of those are a key player how many times would I have to play the 2nd player if he is a first team player?
I have just started a new save and have 2 MR's at the club with the above status which is why i'm asking, I think what I'm basically saying is how many times would I have to play the first teamer to keep him happy?

Depending on his ability, I would say 75%+ of the games, If his squad status is 'First Team' and he believes he is good enough, he is going to expect to be in the first team as his role suggests.

If he was rotational I would expect a minimum of maybe 30-40% and for Back up you can get away with the bare minimum.

Ok thanks mate, I'm in LLM so I might just sell him and get a guy in on back-up
