I know it has been brought up before and there have been good reasons (mainly time constraints on WD's part) for doing things the way they are. However, I think they would be a really good improvement and maybe with a few peoples help it wouldnt be too difficult for WD to add into the game.

At the moment players fitness levels only drop all season. This is of course realistic but there is no way of resting your players to improve their fitness levels.

I was thinking of a system that could work to introduce this and came up with this;

Maybe if a player was rested for 4-5 consecutive weeks then their fitness could improve by 1 or even half if it was introduced. Then maybe if the player reached ten rested weeks over the season he could also go up 1? I appreciate the complexities of keeping up with this on WD's part but it could just be another column on the team spreadsheets or even a couple of volunteers (to avoid cheating) could moderate the stat and supply the information?

It would add another element in squad management and mean those older pro's wouldnt die!

Its just a thought, simple as it is, I think it could add a lot!
