jamez_b Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I started a new game with U Craiova yesterday who have no backroom staff. Now i saw that i was allowed 3 backroom staff for the first team and went out and hired a goalkeeping coach, coach and fitness coach. When trying to hire a head physio I realised that i had no room for anymore staff. My question is would my fitness coach pick up the responsibilities of a physio or is my whole team done for unless i sack one of my newly appointed coaches and hire a physio? (I prefer the old system where you had allowances per type of staff member rather than just one big pot. Then again it seems to change every year at the moment so it'll probably be back to what it was back in FM2011.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recury Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I think I had a similar situation and they didn't do anything. I didn't get an message when players got injured and it probably took them longer to recover. You can still play like that, it's just annoying to have surprise injuries when you go to select your team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cris182 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I doubt a fitness coach would cover it, They train players rather than tend to injuries. They will be in the gym not the medical room Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 iirc it doesnt make much of a difference if you don't have a physio... there was a similar thread not so long ago, I'll have a look and see if i can find it... edit to add: Found this in another thread... As far as I understand it, the way the game calculates injury times is as follows: Every injury has a minimum base number of days, plus a variable number of additional days. The additional days are largely dependent on the quality of your physio staff.If you have no physio, your injuries will simply tend towards the higher end of the possible range of injury length. Other staff may have some impact on injury times, but the little bit of testing I've done didn't show much of anything in that regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamez_b Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Well i just wondered because you see a lot of Fitness coaches who have really high physiotherapy stats and rubbish coaching fitness stats so wondered if there was a point to that. From what i found it seems that having a physio is essential having lost 5 players to injuries in my first match and all of them were out for 5 to 6 weeks. Also couldn't get the conditions levels of my players above 80 percent even by the end of pre-season. I'll probably just start again and hire a physio this time and just sack off the goalkeeping coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Did you try asking the board to increase the number of staff you're allowed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamez_b Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Yeah asked them if they'd increase the number of physios given the number of injuries we had and they said no. I'll just start again but remember to hire one this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
janesy20 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Being a student physiotherapist myself. I would love to see this area of the game developed in the same way as the training and youth facilities. Enabling the recovery of elite players in much quicker times than say non-league. As at the moment I don't see the need in having more than one physio and that side of game is dull and frustrating with the amount of injuries ocurring at the moment.
