Professional athletes that have access to free NAD+ drips and other similar stuff. They shouldn’t be moaning about fatigue just from two-three games a week!
Was talking about this with a mate of mine who used to play semi pro rugby. These days, football players at the highest level are desinged to perform for 90+ minutes and nothing more. You won't see many running marathons or doing endurance events. They are finely tuned and the slightest knock can lead to them being sidelined. With the increase in medical data, this is leading to medical teams having a say in the team selection. Im sure there are some on here who have played at a decent level on a Saturday and again sunday whilst holding down a full time job who will laugh at fatigue as much as I do - poor lambs
If they were on a pay per play deal they’d 100% be ready to go three times a week. Saying that, there’s players like Foden that would play five times a week I reckon.
