Hi,
I've been playing CM/FM for well over a decade now, and as I play as Arsenal, a team I aim to compete on all fronts with, I've generally favoured a policy of rotating my players to keep them fresh.
Usually, if a player is below 95% condition, I take them out of the side to keep them fit for upcoming games.
It was only recently that I was looking at my friend's FM and realised most of the players I have on my game have developed a lot better on his in terms of technical and mental stats (not with his team, but the likes of Wilshere, Isco, and Gotze had all developed better at their own respective clubs).
However, the players I have seem to have developed noticeably more in terms of physical attributes.
Just wondering if my rotation is likely to be the cause of this discrepancy (allowing them to develop physically due to the additional rest, but not improving their mental or technical attributes as much).
To be fair, the players I mention aren't exactly lacking in terms of appearances - each one has been getting on average 35-40 full games per season - but I could have easily played them more. None of them have had any major injuries either.
I don't tinker with my training too much, but I ensure I have the highest quality coaches I can get. I stick to a balanced training at a medium workload, with training in each attribute of 4 and a half to 5 stars, so I don't think it's due to poor training.
Do you think this theory might be valid? Would I be better served consistently playing players, even if it means starting them in matches where their condition has fallen to or even below circa 90%?
If this is a very ignorant question, I apologise; I've played the game series for as long as I can remember, but I've never actually done much research on how the game system works!
Any responses would be much appreciated
