Just had a summer where there were EURO Championship, Copa America, followerd immediately by Olympics, so almost half my squad actually missed the entire pre-season. I've noticed that those that didn't go through 5 weeks worth of hell in the pre-season are "broken" in the sense that their fitness levels drop drastically in each match, and takes longer to recover. First of all, is this a coincidence, or is there an actual relationship between missing pre-season and fitness level throughout the season. I was hoping that since they were getting like almost 10 extra games during the summer tournaments, that would sort of act as their pre-season. If missing all that physical training during the pre-season has a season-long effect on these players, is there anything I can do to fix them? I gave each of them an extra week of holiday after they returned from international duty but that didn't seem to do anything. I can't find any option to individually place them in pre-season training regime either.

Nah, they should focus on signing Messi. That guy already won his continental title and is free

Kane looks like he would play well with Sterling at club level

I'll have Mats Hummels and Yann Sommer please, thank you.

I'm here. Will pick in an hour once I get home.

Dude, my team is competent I'm also picking a certain Swedish who never made it past the QF to manage my team

Yes sir!

I'll have Azpilicueta please. Thank you.

I'll be in home in 15 minutes, and I'll use my PC to do a quick research for my next pick.

My bad, I thought this literally meant appearing in a SF or F match.

Oh, this changes everything. I've been wikipediaing the crap out of SFs and Fs to find gems for my shortlist

Did I misunderstand the rules? The players must have played in an SF or F right, to count as part of that quota?

Ahh, that's true. My bad. This is what happens when you pick in a rush

WAit, but I thought they have to "appear" in SF for it to count?
