friendly options

ok i know the title sounds a bit odd, but...

has anyone ever withdrawn players from friendlies?! and with what consequences?? must admit, the furthest i go is to give them 45 mins instructions....

I dont get it so i just clicked "Mixed"

I'm mixed. For fringe players and youngstars I will always allow them to play as long as their international manager sees fit. For more important players I always select the 45mins option and sometimes if I have a tough fixture list coming up or a really thin squad because of injureis etc I will even withdraw them but I try to avoid that as the players sometimes get upset if you do.

I withdraw. Every time.

put never change. but very rarely i do!

I have withdrawn my top striker from a friendly before and he wasn't a happy bunny. It affected his morale and his form dipped. Since that point I have always changed it to 45 mins as a compromise.

Although, i would like the opportunity to complain about them playing too long etc., just like club managers do when i am a national manager ..... of course, i just tell the to shut the hell up!

Generally manage at small clubs in smaller leagues so I'm always happy for any internationals in my squad and don't interfere.

Never change options.

My players need international experiences.

I find that players playing for their national team boosts thei morale

never change option

i don't withdraw them. But if I have an injury crisis, I would limit a player to 45 mins.

I always withdraw because I don't want some of my best players injured.

I let my players all the time, saves them getting the arse on with me

I always put 45 minutes unless the player is a youth/reserves player, in which case I don't change the option.

If it's a first team player I usually go 45min or withdraw

I withdraw my key players, and no change in others

Sorry but i think you need better options in your poll, such as;

1) Normally 45 mins for first team players, the rest 90 mins

2) Mixed, depends on schedule of games, morale and fitness, but I will withdraw players if necessary

3) Let them play as much as they want, I never interfere

4) I withdraw my players quite a lot, I want them in tip-top condition
