Player fitness during Club World Cup

[Frizzly]

As the title says, player fitness during Club world cup is absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Players seem dead before games, even with 6 day rest periods. And I have noticed this to be the case only during summer competitions like the CWC. Any reasons behind this? Or is it a bug?

Regardless of tactics or rests, the amount of travelling and congested fixtures will afffect fitness. If the fitness doesn't improve after the fixture congestion slows down, please get in touch by opening a support ticket at fm21.info/support-ticket. Thanks

Seriously .. how much of a bot response is this. Clearly doesn't recognise that this is about a specific competition. So get looking at this and get it fixed. In real life summer international competitions, players can start 80% of the games. In this game even a week later after one game they are still exhausted. Its a bug fix it.

It's because your players have returned from "vacation" and aren't match fit. To help this, still run normal training during these games. I know my coaching staff doesn't have any training set up during this competition, so I have to set it up myself. I noticed before I set any training, if I just left it as "rest" everyday, the players never recovered. So during that competition, it's not that they are tired as much as it's meaning they are "out of shape".

Yeah as above, would be worth raising it with support and providing a save game from this period so our team can investigate. Details on how to upload a save game to us here - https://support.sega.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/360015264418-How-to-upload-files-for-support

The Club World Cup caused player fitness problems in the 2020 version as well. As players were technically playing when they should have been on holiday they were not recovering at all between games e.g. if they played on Saturday and after the match were at 80% fitness then by Friday the next game they were still at 80% fitness. I found resting players for a day or 2 between Club World Cup games was the only way to recover their fitness.

Just to add, I do not have this problem with players not recovering if I set up training. I DO have this problem if there is not training, just rest everyday. Same as 2020, they did not recover if you had no training, but when I added training, the players got back into shape and then it was normal. They would recover over the tournament.
