    Had two games in pretty quick succession today as well, been a bit frustrated with the scheduling so far as I've had 3-6 hours between games at the most, meaning the team rarely get more than 5%'s worth of rest.

    Started off with a League game against one of the bottom half teams, Adel FC. After a shock opening where Mroz opened the scoring for the hosts iLandslaget grabbed a firm hold on the reins. 3 goals by Gamarra and 2 goals by Bouzgarrou, 1 by Hai and then the obligatory Gerailton goal meant we dominated proceedings and took all 3 pts with a 7-1 win.

    The short rest for the Champions League game meant I had to reshuffle the team somewhat, but everyone performed their part to help the team see off Dalibor FC, an acquaintance from last year's CL, in a 3-1 affair that flattered the hosts somewhat. The 3 central midfielders Sogaard, Hai and Liljehook scored for iLandslaget while Willhelmsson scored a consolation goal for Dalibor FC.
    Maximum pts for iLandslaget so far in both competitions, these being the first goals the team let against them as well.

    Not had a lot of injuries so far, but enough to cause some problems since I have such a small squad.

    3-6 hours is fine. That is plenty of time for your players to recover, especially if you've got a full squad. Many managers would love to have that time difference.

    Not really for them to recover on their own though, is it? 5% doesn't really do much for their overall condition if this goes on for much longer. I'm averse to buying packs only to get the team back in the yellows for the 2nd game of the day. And I have a small squad, which I stated. Maybe I should've mentioned that previous seasons almost all my league games were played before 2 in the afternoon and CL/Cup games were generally played after 7pm. On rare occassions I had less than 6 hours, which means I'd get 10-15% back between games every day.

    Last year's final meant I had something like 30 mins between the 25th game of the season and the Champions League-final, so yes, I'm aware it could be worse.
