    Whole new headache!

    I guess it makes sense because it is their second game of the day, but then what good are the rest packs?

    If a tough oppenent is my second or third or fourth game of the day, I have started saving my first string players until that game.
    Like I, some managers have a 2 team lineup/roster, A and B team both being almost identical. If you are still playing in the CUP and CL that means 2 matches a day, having 2 team will eliminate your tired players problems.

    It will give you a whole new headache though, but you will also have many advantages in fielding 2 teams!

    I do have two full squads to play two games when my players are healthy, but between injuries and more than two games in a day (I recently had 4 games in 15 hours) I often have to force a player compete in two or three games in a day.

    I am just looking for confirmation that the player's quality of play decreases when playing multiple games in a day even if I use rest packs to get them back to full condition.

    I hear you, well I do not know if anyone has done an unofficial study of this phenomenon, but I believe that there are overplayed players that just run out of gas if they play too much in a season. I have had plenty of those, it happens a lot to older near or thirty plus players.

    My whole team is young (oldest is 24), so I don't think anything age related would be an issue.

    It sounds as if you do not observe an individual player performance decline when playing multiple games in one day. Although it would be most noticeable to managers who play their first team every game.
