In the training plans of EA Sports FC 24, you can increase the sharpness and fitness of your players to increase their OVR rating for the Career Mode. These training plans come in different categories, each with a different focus on some aspects of the players’ performance. The fitness is shown through a thunder icon, and the sharpness is shown through a diamond icon. The green color indicates good, yellow indicates moderate, and red indicates bad. Your aim is to keep both the index in green color to make your player perform the best in matches. You can further change these training plans on a case-by-case basis for each individual based on their performances in the matches. Here are all the available training plans of EA Sports FC 24 and their effect on the fitness and sharpness of the players.

• All Out Energy: Use this training plan to focus entirely on the fitness of the player by increasing their stamina. However, this training will start reducing your players’ sharpness after a while.
• Energy-focused: Use this training plan to focus 70% on fitness and 30% on sharpness. Your player will mostly increase their fitness and stamina in the matches with a slight drop in their sharpness.
• Balanced: This training plan focuses equally on fitness and sharpness. This neither increases nor decreases any of the indexes. So, if a player has green in both of the indexes, it is better to leave them on the Balanced plan until any changes occur.
• Performance-focused: Use this training plan to focus 70% on sharpness and 30% on fitness. Your player will mostly increase their sharpness and skills in the matches with a slight drop in their fitness.
• All Out Performance: Use this training plan to focus entirely on the sharpness of the player by increasing their skills. However, this training will start reducing your players’ fitness after a while.

In order to increase fitness in EA Sports FC 24, select the energy-based training plans for specific players. If the player has moderate fitness, it is better to keep them on an Energy-focused plan as this won’t decrease much of their sharpness. However, if you feel like your player is really lagging behind in the case of stamina, use the All-Out Energy plan for your player. After they are done achieving the desired level of fitness, make sure to switch back to Balanced or Performance-focused to recover the lost sharpness.
