Is anyone else having problems with player fitness?

After only a couple of games of the season pretty much all of my defenders are below 50% fitness and I can't seem to raise the levels.

I tried doing only fitness training in the pre season but no change.

Is this a bug in the game as I didn't have this problem in CM 2008 or am I missing something!!

If you give your players at least 2 or even more days in their schedule set to 'Rest', then they will recover more quickly over time.

The fitness schedule will boost the players  fitness releated attributes. This wil mean that the players won't lose as much fitness in matches, but it won't make them recover fitness any quicker.

Trying to get better training facilities can also help.

Actually playing players whose fitness is low can improve their match fitness too it seems. However my version has no rest option???

Hi Stu / nebbing,

Thanks for the responses.

I can't seem to find the rest option either in the training section, where is it?

Also I continued just playing players even when unfit and you're right some do improve their match fitness.

If you choose skill as the training option your players will be rested more.

Thanks all. To be honest I just play players even when they're unfit and in three seasons I've gone from Luton to Everton via West Ham 4th in the Prem and QF of CL not bad considering players are all knackered!!!
