player complaining about playing time

Had our team look into this and they advised the following: 

You can warn a player you're going to rest them before a game in the 'discuss' options, if they agree then they won't be upset at missing the next match. Typically with Important or Star players they want to play all the matches and all the mins (80% or higher), so they are likely to get upset at being 'rotated'.

If you would like us to take a further look, we'll need your save file.

the problem with that is that u end up making a promise to not play them for a match, but if i play the match and am losing  and for what ever reason (injury for example) i need them to play for the 2nd half or 30+ mins i  will end up breaking the promise of resting them and getting the morale affected negatively as a result of that, its like putting my self in a really bad situation that as a lot of chances of end up back firing.

 

i agree with this "You can warn a player you're going to rest them before a game in the 'discuss' options, if they agree then they won't be upset at missing the next match.

but it would be good for immersion to have the option of telling the player, hey i havent play you recently because u are looking fatigued, currently in the answers available in my original post, i cant do it, i dont care if the player ends up mad because he is not playing or didnt like my answer, but i think we should be able to give an answer related to fatigue as the reason why they are not playing

 

edit: to add further to the "resting for a match" option .. some times it works and other times they refuse to rest, thats ok, but the same kind of interaction should be an option when they complain about their playing time, thats my point, the problem is that the reason for fatigue or underperforming due to tiredness is missing and that is one one of the possible reasons of why a star/important/regular player is not playing as much, just a forced rotation because the player is tired/jaded, i dont ask that they agree 100% do that answer, probably they wont like the answer, but we should be able to give it.
