One of my starting tackles plays two games in an exhibition game, AND HES ONLY
IN THERE CAUSE ROSTER LIMITS PREVENT ME FROM CARRYING MORE SCRUBS, and I now
lose him for most of thew regular season?
This has happened to me twice in the last 4 FEL seasons.
This is absolute crap. Either do away with preseason games, shut off the
injuries (so people could actually try new things with their regular players),
or get rid of roster limits in the preseason.

"get rid of roster limits in the preseason."
is your best answer, and most realistic

Because in real life, every team makes it through the preseason intact?

Whatever, maybe even just a box you could check that indicates "this guy never
goes in the game". Kind of like redshirts in college.
This is the biggest pain in the ass, losing an offensive lineman. A WR or LB
you can easily replace, but an OL???

DEL players can get injured even riding the pine, or during a bye week.
I once lost the same starting OL 3 preseasons in a row.

Well the sim usually saves my non-game injuries till playoff time. And Im not
saying it isnt realistic; but in real life a coach can decide when and if a
player is in the game. If I cant dictate EXACTLY when a player is in the game,
or for how many plays . . . I want a way to prevent him from being in the
meaningless game at all.

You don't have to have the full 55 players on roster: you could even send one
of your rookies to the T-squads and sign a scrub to keep your OL on the bench
for sure.

You fill your t-squad and still have a 55 man active roster? I had no idea. . .

Football Fines for roster aren't small.
There is no good reason we can't carry 55 without getting fined until opening
day.

As I understand it, football fines for over the limit rosters only kick in for
the regular season.
I cut down anyway, so as not to pay the extra scrubs salaries, but I'm 95% sure
you can carry 55 players in the preseason without over the limit penalties.

Correct Ken, you can carry extra players in the preseason without being fined.
I carry 55 every year and have never been fined.
I find it worth it to pay the scrubs' salaries in order to have enough depth to
keep my starters off the field and avoid injury.
