Not a Footium Blog

Stamina Time Everyone! As part of the world’s longest dive into how Stamina works in Footium, I reached out to the community to see what everyone’s base level of knowledge was. It was really interesting to see what knowledge is already out there?

Does Condition regenerate at a constant rate?

This was the first question asked, and it was really split! As far as the stats have indicated which we have looked at, it seems condition does regenerate at a constant rate of around 0.5% an hour.

This would make sense, condition works in a way that means your players can’t play back to back matches all season without a condition penalty. With this recovery rate meaning you recover 12% condition in a 24 hour period, when you compare it to players losing 12+ condition per 90 minute match, it means a constant condition loss over time if you don’t rotate.

Do you rotate your squad?

Speaking of rotation…seems like you’re all doing it! Other than zombies and very inactive teams, everyone seems to have a good rotation schedule, even if we’re not yet sure on the exact way to manage it for the best results.

Do you know how much condition your players lose per match?

Another mixed bag! But this one is understandable, tracking how much condition your players will lose isn’t an exact science.

Some examples:

• We tracked 4 players with 65 stamina. Each played 90 minutes on balanced. Two players lost 18 condition, one player lost 19 condition and one player lost 21 condition.
• We tracked 4 players with 74 stamina. Each played 90 minutes on balanced. One lost 17 condition, one lost 19 condition, one lost 20 condition and one lost 21 condition.
• We tracked 5 players who played the same match with the same conditions twice. 3 out of 5 lost a different percentage of condition each time. 2 out of 5 lost the same percentage of condition each time.

Now, we don’t have access to any decimal points, so we don’t have exact numbers, but if two players, in the same position, with the same stamina, don’t lose the same amount of condition, there must be some variance.

Do you know how quickly condition regenerates?

32.3% saying no on this. We did a review of players condition regeneration, and found they all recovered 0.5% condition per hour regardless of stamina. However, we will continue to review this and check our maths!

What next?

MORE DATA. We will keep getting as much data from our teams as we can and build up the best picture possible. All to get to the bottom of stamina for you lovely lot!

See you on the pitch.
