He was too busy tanking the season and selling off his team. Now he is back to normal. Oh, and he did have Law School exams that distracted him just a bit...
I have often wondered this but aren't willing to test it on my players. I just bought a great player but he hasn't played this season so dropped to mediocre GS. So I also wonder what would be the best number of minutes to bring him up to the best possible GS as I too have heard the "it accumulates over weeks" urban myth.
So 0 mins week 1.
Week 2 should I...
Give him 48. I game 100%.
Give min ~60. I game starter 1 game backup.
Give him 90+. 2 or even 3 games as a starter to bring his average up to over 48.
I will be aiming for 60 mins but it would be good to know if actually flogging him this week would help.
