Can you recover potential?

[Seano]

I have Michael Ngoo at Dover in my 3rd season. He had the potential to be a decent striker in League 2 according to my scouts and assistant. He got injured and was out for 5 months and now his potential has gone down to very little so i'm guessing thats down to his injury.

It's really frustrating because he's still valued at 250k and thats a big price tag for lower leagues.

Is there a chance that he can recover his potential?

I'll keep playing him and see what happens.

Without knowing, I'd say yes. If you play him enough, and he performs good as well, then I can't see why he shouldn't be able to regain his potential

The attribute Natural Fitness indicates how fast the player will recover after an injury. The Potential Ability is a hidden attribute with a value between 0 and 200. Messi has 200 PA, Ngoo has 100. Not all the players can reach their full PA. How fast and how close a player will be around his full potential is determined by Professional, another hidden attribute and Work Rate. Indirect, Injury Proneness, another hidden attribute, will affect the development of a player, because if the player is injured for long period of times, obviously he can't train and he can't play, so he can't develop and he can't increase his attributes.

Thanks for the explanation. He has turned to utter dung, its a shame he could've been good for me in the lower leagues.
