Hi guys.

I'm playing this game since 2009, but there is one factor I never truly understood.

How does players stamina affect his ratings, his playing, and tactics?

Is it good to train stamina? Yes/no? And why yes, why no?

If anyone knows a good answer to this questions, please answer.

Yes its good to train stamina. Why? They play better for longer.

How does players stamina affect his ratings, his playing, and tactics?

At the start of the game a player plays to the level his ratings suggest. The lower his stamina, the sooner he will begin to play less well. Fast paced tactics reduce stamina faster and so the player will play less well sooner than with slower tactics.

So for example, if I play fast tactics, and the player plays around 30-38 minutes per game, the higher the stamina, the higher his ranking and overall playing will be?

Because my team is great, but the stamina is low (1-4 skill), so training stamin for like half season straight could potentially be a very good idea?

Stamina links with DMI and they feed into each other. But also I think DMI is affected by compatibility in style of play to personnel and by how each player is being used. Also I think in some way teams and players will go into each week with a different mindset. DMI is a predictive feature based upon how a player practices, therefore if your going into a light week then DMI could trend lower just because the players will know they don't have to try very hard even if the minutes were well distributed the week before. I also think a challenging week can make DMI ratchet because of what awakes, and can even do so if the minutes from that week before.

As to training stamina, I give it a week once a season, sometimes once every other. But I also keep a solid 8-9-10 deep rotation stocked with players who can be moved around. So my minutes per starter stay in the 30-38 per game with 30 minutes each for backups who are slotted in two positions, the single position sub gets around 12-18 most nights.

Now if I was say six or seven deep and had guys regularly logging 40+ a night then stamina would be more of a issue. It is however the most meaningless attribute on the game IMO

So for example, if I play fast tactics, and the player plays around 30-38 minutes per game, the higher the stamina, the higher his ranking and overall playing will be?

Not sure about rating being very different but certainly overall play will be better.

Because my team is great, but the stamina is low (1-4 skill), so training stamin for like half season straight could potentially be a very good idea?

Normally if I want to be competitive I'd aim for at least 5 ST, though I prefer as high as is practical.

Unless you raise the quality of your subs, it could very well be that your starter will play more minutes on average.

And will likely have the same game rating despite more minutes because of what you explained with your numerical example.

Better stamina for a given number of minutes = better rating. Fewer minutes for a given amount of stamina = better rating (this is very easy to check)

Great, because I have just bought a fantastic 24 year old players for trainin, but his stamina is 1, while my teams stamina is 3-5 level.

So I should probably forget about training skills and focus on stamina for like, half of the season?

I am going to win the II. division this year, so next year i'll be in division 1..

edit: thank for all the other answers (other users) by the way, I aprecciate!

Yeah, i'm trying to do that for the past few seasons. 60-80 minutes every week.

I will do as you say, 4 weeks stamina, and then 1 week skill, 1 week stamina, until the allround stamina of my team is around 9.

Thanks mate, really appreciate it

By the way. does stamina "fall" in skill after the player goes +30 years old, or does it "fall" depending on minutes per game, or is it a combination of both?
