dirtyscarab Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 This is in FM11 by the way. For the 1st time in many seasons I have a few players who've come back from the end of season break tired. I was wondering what you guys do in the pre-season to get them up to 100% fitness again. I had a bit of a torrid season last time by with many injuries, plus I was in both cups until quite late on so my small squad took quite a hammering. I remember you used to have the option to allow them to go on extended leave for a couple of weeks but I can't seem to find it anymore. Cheers.

lhinchliffe Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I never give them time off! When they report for pre-season all players go on an intense fitness training programme and I play a game every three days or so for 1 month. Seems to work as in August many have 100% in superb condition. When that has been reached they go on to their own programme which is no longer concerned with fitness.

shwan Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 shoot them and bring new ones he he ok in serious note, i reduce their training load to minimum in special schedule to rest players per position, i have every schedual in 3 modes for each position, hard, normal and light give them a rest don't play them for a game that will help too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyscarab Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 That seems to make sense shwan. I'll give it a go. The trouble with resting them and not giving them games will mean that they're unlikely to be match fit before the first game of the season but I guess there's no other way. Incidentally, did the option to allow leave disappear in FM11/12 ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipknot67 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 The option will still appear in the news item you get telling you your squad has returned from pre-season holiday, the have to be very tired for it to appear though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samdiatmh Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 i normally schedule a pre-season comp with the amateur teams form my local area (to boost morale and match fitness) - normally early July after they've finished (3 games in 3 days is a lot) then they all get a week/3 days off training then they go into regular fixtures (decent teams, feeder teams, whatever) about once every 5 days (as they would do later in the season) before having a morale-booster against some team in early august (a good 15+ to 0 win is invaluable) and then another few days off training to re-catch their breath before the long season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
