Monday morning.
You have an important match on Saturday. You open the Sessions tab and look at the slider. It's sitting at halfway. You can leave it there. Or not.
That decision, made every week for your entire career, is the Fuel System.

The slider runs from 0 to 100 and defines your weekly training intensity. It has three zones. Each one has real consequences. 🟢 TAPERING (0–30) Reduced load. Your body recovers. Form rises +20 points per week. Your coach runs at 50% efficiency — slower stat growth, but you arrive at the match with +5% effective OVR. Use it before decisive matches. Use it when form is dangerously low.
🟡 STANDARD (30–70) Balanced regime. Form stays stable. Your coach runs at 100% efficiency — normal growth. No bonus or penalty in matches. The default zone. Never the wrong choice, but never the optimal one either.
🔴 OVERTRAINING (70–100) Maximum intensity. Stats grow faster, your coach runs at 150%. But form drops −20 points per week. And in matches you take a −8% OVR hit — the body is under stress. Requires the Mental Coach to unlock. Without it, the system automatically pulls you back to Standard.

Once you confirm your regime, it locks for 5 weeks. You can't change your mind halfway through. This is intentional. Training decisions aren't made day by day; they're planned.
Choose Overtraining for 5 weeks knowing you'll arrive at the most important match of the month with form at 30. Or plan a Tapering window in advance and arrive rested exactly when it counts.

Form (0–100) multiplies your effective OVR in every match.

There is no right zone. There is only the right zone for that specific moment in the season. A player who only uses Overtraining will have high stats and low form. They'll lose the matches that matter. A player who only uses Tapering will always feel fresh but grow slowly. The ones who alternate with purpose, push when they can, recover when they must, are the ones who peak at the right moment.
