Number of Relief Pitchers on Roster

For the regular game, I tend to carry 5 or 6 relief pitchers on my roster (including closers). But for PT, what's everyone's thoughts on this? Should we carry 8 or 9 relievers since there isn't as much need for a long bench? Or should we still carry a full bench to protect against fatigue?

I usually run with 7 relievers including 2 long relievers, fatigue for my pitchers is rarely an issue throughout the season. I also like to run 2 platoons or so personally.

I've been continuing on with the 12-man pitching staff that I used in PT19 and PT20 and use the extra player as a batter for an additional platoon.
