that is why u need to look at a players recovery speed and training % when you bid for players at auction. people all go for players with high star rating, not looking at their recovery and training rate, then they sit with players with low recovery rates. i prefer players of about 25* but with very good training and recovery rate. Within 1 season i trained them up to over 30* anyway and then they have good recovery, with my infirmary my avg recovery rate is about 6.5/h
