Player condition before Association game

[talisman]

I had 3 matches in 4 hours with 2 association matches and a league match in the middle. Impossible to use your best players for all matches and have them fit. This on top of the fact that my association with 6 teams of mainly 6* players was playing against an association of 7 & 8* players. I'm not impressed with this new competition at all. It's worse than the cup in that you're punished for having a good team and it's just another way to drain your resources

Get your squad to 100% before the first Association match - they'll still be that at the end of the match, ready for the League match. Whether you expend the necessary to get the first XI ready for the second Association match or use second XI players will depend on the result of the first Association match.

Again missing the point, yes we know that Association matches do not lower our layers condition. the Thread states that it is not fair that some players will HAVE to use rests to to have their players ready for the association game because they literally just finished playing a personal match while another manager might not have to. This is all based on chance the simple fact is that it is NOT fair and SHOULD be corrected in some way.

Exactly the point - you already have to cope with matches at all times of the day, and match times for two competitions that can be as close to each other as three hours, and get your team ready for both. Where's the umpteen page long thread from people complaining that their CL opponent had 9 hours to prepare for the match but I only had three? Cope with the situation you are faced with, don't come bleating on here about unfairness and wanting the rules changed.

If they were changed, what would happen? You would get other people coming on and doing the exact same thing you are, and would you have any sympathy for them - I doubt it. Adapt or don't do Associations.

-If they were changed to make it so Association matches have 100% stamina for players, then no one would come to the forums stating that is unfair lol
- Yes there are times one may have a PERSONAL game 2 hours or less after another PERSONAL game, but again Associations is not PERSONAL it is a group that counts on you. One user has claimed that it was stated that this new game mode would not require you to use rest packs.....which is true in terms of recovering since they regain it. BUT it is false in terms of match preparation.
