Natural Fitness (absolute-physical)
How high the player’s natural fitness is. How well he stays fit when injured or not training. This will help
players recover more quickly from injury and will help them to be able to stay fit as they go past their
peak.
Stamina (absolute-physical)
How long he is able to play before tiring.
The importance of Stamina cannot be underestimated – particularly if you play an effort-intensive style such as Closing Down, Gung-Ho or have players set to making lots of forward runs. You’ll find that if your team has a low level of Stamina in general, you will tend to concede goals late in the game.
