Let me see if I understand you right...

So if the range is optimal minutes is 48-65 a week and...
Player A is stamina 3 (Awful)
Player B is stamina 8 (Strong)

I should give player A closer to 48 mins while player B should get closer to 65?

I read a post from BB-Justin, he said that stamina matters...but I don't really know something more.

I think that more stamina allow more minute per week. Less stamina, less minute.
How much? I don't know.

From my observation, that's right.

Also, from my observation, players with stamina 8+ are capable to play 70-75 minutes without a great impact on gameshape-drop.

Also, from my observaton, Massage seem to reduce minutes in General. So 75 minutes with Massage are better for the gameshape than 60 minutes+massage

But i am open for other opinions, especially with examples or official statements.

In my humble opinion there are no "better" or "worse" minutes within the desired boundaries (48-72 min). Stamina does not matter when players are in that range. I.e. it is irrelevant whether your player has 9 ST and you gave him 48 min or he has 1 ST and you gave him 72 min. As long he is in the range he should generally improve (maintain) his current GS with a lot of randomness and backtracking included in the equation ofc.

Here are three players of mine, with different ST levels, who (with very rare exceptions) only get 48 min each week: (49611812), (49567405), (49554209). Still their GS is consistently (close to) perfect.

After the changes stamina comes into play when players are over 72 min. The higher their ST, the more minutes over 72 they can get without suffering GS penalties. We are talking about 7-8 min max probably, even at 9 ST.

Massage indeed allows their GS to withstand several extra minutes weekly as well. Psychologist helps with problematic GS/minutes too.

when i was competing, about 4 seasons ago, my idea was that a player with stamina 9 needs 80-85 to be in shape.
And it worked well for main of them apart one Vasallo who needed 75-79.

It is like every player has his own reaction to minutes
For stamina 7, 70-75 is the right minutes IMO.
