Fixture Congestion

[DivAnder]

Hey guys, ever had really bad fixture congestion?
Was playing as Rangers there and had a Europe tie (away from home!) on the Thursday, then an SPL game the Friday. This was followed by a game on the Sunday. 3 games in 4 days?
It's happened a few times but this is one of the worst, have you had worse?

EDIT: just realised I have another SPL game on the Monday. I'll have to play my reserves.

I have never had 3 games in 4 days, but I absolutely hate when cup games get put in those international weeks. I think I was having a good month or something with a really cosmopolitan team recently, practically my entire team got called up. No reserves so my U19's got creamed by some lower league squad and knocked me outta the cup. Remind me to start renewing reserve contracts, lol

Exactly the same situation, the French Coupe de la Ligue final right after an international break plus some injuries.

Happened to me when I was Arsenal. I had a FA cup Semi Final mid-week then a match the next day to decide the winners of the premier league between Me (1st) and Man City (2nd). The next day I had a Premier League match against Portsmouth and then Man City again since I play them twice, it got reschedules again and again until now.

4 matches day after day for 4 days. And there was no week long break, my players had to get ready for there next fixture in 3 days. :'(

thats terrible i've never had it that bad and its a bit unrealistic too

The most I've had is 3 games in 7 days.

All of my players, even subs, were down to 80%+'ish condition.

Ive had this as well. I hope they will add in FM2011 the ability to ask for games to be moved or postponed.

This is awful, will probably cost me the FA Cup, Europa League and Premier League as I will have to play the reserves, devastating.

And I thought the 2 games in 3 days I've had twice this season, with the second games being Man U and Liverpool, were bad...

Somehow these closely spaced fixtures have a lot of top teams involved. I cannot for the life of me understand why I must draw ManU/Liverpool/Chelsea/Arsenal/City during the first 2 rounds, even if I am one of those five.

Sometimes, I need the help of FM Gods to carry me through...
