Fitness

All players start their Einnek careers free from any sort of injury of fatigue. This is represented by a fitness rating of 10.

When a player sustains an injury they will lose fitness points. The more serious the injury, the higher the number of fitness points they will lose.

Players will recover from injury over time by receiving treatment from your trainer and their backroom staff. The higher the skill rating of your trainer, the better treatment given and thus the better the chance a player has of making a speedy recovery to full fitness.

When a player’s fitness level is below 5, he will appear on the injured list and is not able to play any part in a match for either club or country.

A player whose fitness is 5 or above is considered fit enough to play, but perhaps not ready for a full 90 minutes. If you decide to play a player who is not fully fit then they run the risk of further aggravating the injury during the course of the game.

A player who picks up a series of injuries throughout their career may find themselves potentially becoming more susceptible to injury as they grow older. Mangers will need to pay careful attention to this to ensure they are not left with a player who is injury prone and will therefore miss games more often.

If an international captain is unable to play in any particular international fixture (due to injury, club suspension or negative form) then a substitute skipper will be named. So long as the regular captain is able to retake his place in the following match he will retain the international captaincy. If not a new captain may be announced prior to that fixture.
