While the idea is great, the implementation has not been very smooth from the developers. The fatigue option doesn’t work well and even affects the players who are fresh. This causes immense problems for users who are managing teams and players the right way and are not able to play fresh players.

The best way to deal with Progressive Fatigue is to turn it off completely. Follow the steps below to turn off the feature.

• Go to the Gear Icon on the main menu.
• Now select Game Options.
• Scroll down and find Fatigue under Player Sliders.
• To disable Fatigue, drag down the slider to zero.

That’s the easiest way to deal with the starters not playing in the games.
