Player condition before Association game

[GreenPk]

I think this another subtle way of getting players to use rests more frequently and, to forcing them have a strong 'squad' that is capable of competing in 4 competitions rather than just 11 well-developed players.

I know that Association games DO NOT affect a players condition, but they start with the same condition they had before the game starts. This is a problem, I say this because it will be very common for managers to have a a personal game an hour or so before their Association game. This would obviously be unfair if one of the managers has only an hour to prepare their teams condition while the other has 4 or 5 due to dumb luck. Is this seriously not viewed as unfair? Why should I feel forced into a scenario where I have to use my rests because I just played a game 1 hour before my Association game, while the other manager has a rested team because he had a 3-6 hour gap between his last game.

Also I am well aware that the Association game time can be changed, but that is only for home games. And even then finding a time that would not **** over a fellow manager on their players condition would be a problem.

A fair enough statement in regards of pushing players to have a squad beyond the best 11 on the team, but if that is the case it is my opinion that a sqaud limit of 22 players is not a lot...not saying its small but it leaves no room for those of us who want to develop young talent.
