In the last two seasons I've seen GS much more difficult to manage near the end of the season versus the rest of the season. Is this normal? Or just a random occurence two seasons in a row for me?
By 'more difficult', I'm referring to players dropping in GS while playing the same amount of minutes that would have given them a pop or kept them consistent in many other weeks.
I know that there is a randomness factor built in, so you can't count on any specific result, but it does seem like the drops in GS while playing between 48 and 72 minutes get a tad bit more likely as the season comes to a close.

I have noticed this over a couple seasons as well.

At the start, more difficult, because it is assumed that GS is affected by multiple weeks.
In the middle, the sweet spot, seems easier to keep a lot of players at proficient.
At the end, between the two, sometimes drops even with ~65 minutes.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

I have to agree with both of you.


OMG! +1!

BTW, did anyone try this?

A team consists of 5 or 6 players only. Team Training "game shape" every week, employ doctor with massage specialty. Does it work?

With team training and massage, can GS maintain at proficient even they have to play 100 minutes / week?

I have no evidence either way, but my guess is that this "End of the season hard to maintain GS" problem is a result of people more easily recalling negative GS variance close to playoffs compared to positive variance at this time or negative variance other times. These types of memory biases are very common and it is easy for me to imagine why people might experience negative variance at this time more strongly.

As someone who has played over a million hands of poker, the tendency of the human brain to find fake patterns in randomness never ceases to amaze me (myself included).

I run a database of minutes played, starting GS, and ending GS on my team, so my observation is comparable to prior GS change behavior throughout the past three seasons. The latest two seasons' final weeks do show higher incidences of either non-increases or drops in GS when compared to similar minutes played thresholds at other times in the season. My first season stayed consistent, though, so this could just be randomness.
