Bring back fatigue in clubs

Players shouldn’t be able to sprint around for 90 minutes with barely any consequences.

You can have a striker pressing one minute, then somehow tracking all the way back to CB the next, and they’re still running like they’ve got unlimited stamina. 🤦‍♂️

Fatigue needs to actually affect: • Sprint speed

• Acceleration

• Defensive positioning

• Pressing

• Recovery runs

• Passing/shooting under fatigue

If you want to play a high-intensity pressing style, there should be a cost. If you constantly drag your ST back to CB, they should be absolutely knackered.

Bring back realistic stamina management and make tactics have consequences.

  • Yep. This 1 dimensional monotonous slop was awful all year. 26 was a good game ruined by one thing - infinite stamina

  • why would it affect defencive positioning? defensive positioning is manual....

    not sure what a recovery run is

    but the rest it probably should effect, or at least just sprinting in general

  • Spot on, strikers acting like DM's should be punished running up and down the pitch continuously.

    It turns every game into 11 at the back and then counter, rinse and repeat.
