Physios in 9.3.0

1. In 9.3.0, Physios aren't as great as before. They cannot predict the return of players as accurate as before. (i.e. they always give a pretty large range until the player is almost recovered)

Even with multiple maxed out physios (I tested 4 with the Arsenal ones), they still cannot give a precise verdict.

2. There is little objective measure to the performance of physios other than the prediction they give as to when a player returns. (e.g. physio A predicting 4-8 weeks out vs physio B predicting 3-6 weeks out implies that physio B is better)

3. With the above in mind, and judging physios only on their predictive abilities, there are only two stats that influence the ability for a physio to predict the recovery of a player.

Physio rank=Current Ability + physiotherapy * 10

e.g.

Nanni's CA=195

Nanni's physiotherapy=20

Nanni's rank=195+20*10=395

It is clear that the higher the physio rank the better. Though it is relatively unclear what the cut-off is for giving the best predictions.

Testing shows that those with rank>=360 give the same predictions as perfect physios. (At least, for the injuries tested.)

For less severe injuries, rank>=320 does the trick most of the time.

Thanks, AJetsof. If the above formula is true, it's disgusting that Current Ability helps physios predict better. There should be some attribute that does it or a combination of attributes. Having CA doing it is just the easy way out.

I agree, unfortunately, you can have 20 in everything, but if CA is low, it will still give you that extra week/month or two of recovery time.

Forgive two clueless question, please.

What is a physios Current Ability?

What is the injury prediction line on a player's profile based on? It never seems to match any physio's prediction, and is often completely at odds with anyone's prediction of duration.

You cannot have 20 in everything and have a low CA, the attributes are dependent upon the persons CA.

Suprised Physios and Scouts weren't tweaked in line with the coach star rating changes so that more than just one stat counted.
