Player's Condition

First of all this thread is asking why do some players condition never actually maintain a decent level despite of their stamina and natural fitness? I have found that in past games I have players with good stats in both these, but there condition is only ever good enough say every three games. In the past i have just put up with this, but now its started to bug me as I have an excellent player , but he only plays one game in every 3! Is there a hidden stat i dont know about? Or is there any way of preventing this? I hope im not the only FMer in this position? Anyway here is the link to the player im talking about at the moment.

Thanks in advance for replies!

His low natural fitness means he won't recover from games as fast as other players but I would expect him to be able to play at least once a week - ie miss mid-week games.

I would also check your match orders and you'll probably find you have him doing a lot of running.

Lower his closing down?

Maybe your players are tired because the training workload is too high?

Ok thanks guys, i had always thought that natural fitness just determined how fastly their stats would fall nearing the end of their careers. But ill try and improve that over pre-season now. And would decreasing his closing down really have an effect? And lastly all other players seem to cope fine, never the less ill give them all a shot. Thanks guys!

Closing Down seems to exhaust players - at least it's my impression. You should also check other individual instructions you gave that player (does he accidently exchange position with a defender?)

If you haven't already got them then I would suggest you employ a couple of good fitness coaches.

I have players with similar or even worse natural fitness doing full closing down and they are fine. The problem must be with his training schedule.
