Not sure if this is the right section but.
Ok so in my Chelsea save I have won the league with a couple of games left but Im still in the FA Cup and Champions League.So I was wondering has anyone ever won the league early and then focused there first team on these 2 competitions and then got like there best youngsters and played them in the league for the last few matches since its already won.Im thinking of doing this tho I was thinking that confidence would go way down beauce there not capable I was thinking of a line up like this.

Well obv I mean that I meant using more young players like I might pair mceacheren with essien or Mikel.Drogba with Chavez or Cardozo with Wickham or some kind of combination have plenty of players as well that arnt eligeble for europe(Breno,Otamendi or Adam Johnson) and the Fa Cup(Adam Johnson) due to being cup tied.

Good young team (under 23).
 
yes we all do this, it allows us to give them some 1st team football that will aid development and to see how they perform...

one thing you need to consider is if you play 75% of your 1st team as your youngsters, there may be a chance that you would lose the remaining games and this will lead to a HUGE drop in Morale leading up to your important games in the ECl, so try and get momentum going in to the finals and dont make too many drastic changes....

what I suggest is playing 1 youngster next to 1 1st team member...
 
I always play my Captain and vice captain wherever they may play and if I'm using say a 4 - 4 - 2 line-up I would use 2 experienced defenders and two youngsters, two experienced midfielders and two youngsters, etc.. And just rotate the youngsters from game to game. I once had the league won with Inter and about 8 games left to play but I was going for an unbeaten record so I stuck with my full team and ended up losign to Juve, 5 - 4 having been leading 4 - 1 with 80 minutes played :(
