PreSeason

[DanKent]

Been thinking about this for a while just wanted some other opinions, do you guys bother with a preseason for you players? i tend to set one up with high levels of phyical stats along with a small ammout of ball work etc, just wondered if anyone else does it / if you notice over the course of the season.

Cheers

Im confused.

Do you mean pre-season training or matches?

Some of the Russian guys who test stuff out reckon that pre-season training routines are essentially just a waste of time in that they don't impact upon match fitness. What they do accomplish is focusing attribute increases into physical stats which are the hardest to raise outside of young players natural improvements.

So my answer would be... if it works for you, go for it. I've personally never bothered and have never had issues with over-tiredness outside of truly ridiculous fixture congestion.
