Xavi would play 4000-4500 minutes in their CL winning seasons. In our CL final seasons of 14-15 and 16-17, Tevez and Higuain played 4100 and 4500 minutes respectively. Pogba played 4300 minutes in 15-16 even though we got knocked out in Rof16 CL. All teams rotate. All teams most important players if injury free play a lot. Our problem is injuries and players not being available.
Edit: to give full picture in 14-15
Bonucci - 4700 minutes
Marchisio - 4300 minutes
Licht - 4100 minutes
Tevez - 4050 minutes
Chiellini - 4000 minutes
I like looking at these numbers. Was going over myself how Max could distribute the minutes extending out to the end of the year with not allocating for unexpected injuries. Doing so without burning out the players. Meaning limiting as much as possible minutes for suspect performers like MDS, Bent, Rabiot, and probably McKenn too. Forgot Rugani but he hasn't played yet. LOL. I like to see more of Pelle before including him. Max was keen today on knowing MDS and Bent needed to sit. Pirlo unfortunately was a deer in the headlights with when to sub but I blame AA! Hopefully Max realizes some players he was counting on just don't cut it on being first 11 guys.
Hypothetical using 4-4-2 formation .....
So say 45 matches left in the season, 4050 minutes. As for L/R Backs = 8100. Sandro, Danilo, and Cuads could handle those 2700 minutes.
CB positions involving MDL, Bono, Chiell and another 2700 minutes each played..
Forward line with 2 spots with Dybala, Morata, Kean and again 2700 minutes.
Now for the difficult part being the midfield ...
Say 4 spots with 16000+ minutes ....
Loca and Chiesa only givens. Play all 45 matches = 4000 minutes. Impossible to do so say 3500 each for 7000. So 9000 minutes left. Honestly can't even think about how to divi up the rest of the time? So many different options to what I'm posting here but going by what I propose, how would you give out the rest of Juve's midfield minutes or other options for the team as a whole? Backline seems set for me on minutes played but the rest is hypothetical depending on what formation Max uses.
