I'll take the psychologist, BUT the doctor is also rather inexpensive in that just get whatever level you currently have but with the specialty. Massage doctors are slightly more expensive than their no-specialty counterparts, but it's not massive. Think about it this way: if you have imperfect minutes the psychologist will definitely help as it's unlikely you will have many players naturally reaching 9 GS (you can't go higher than that). Massage may help but you'd need 80+ minutes for it to show it's worth probably. I think 8-9 ST players should play at least 70 minutes anyway given the changes to GS.

I'm slightly uneasy about Massage after the change as in your case what would happen with 75 minutes and 9 ST player? Does Massage kick in and artificially lower the Minutes for the purpose of the training update calculation? Say it works by reducing the 75 to 70 or 65, this may be perfect for a 6 ST player but it may be detrimental for this 9 ST player.

I doubt it's that way, I have an 8 stamina player that kept 9 GS for just about the whole season and with massage doctor and lvl 6 sports psychologist. The player often only played exactly 48 minutes per week as they were a trainee

with massage and lvl 6 most of my rotation players are always in 9 gs. There are 1-2 each week that are usually high 8 gs and it's usually when they played more than 75 minutes at 4-6 stamina

I try to manage minutes too so maybe it's wasted and I'd be better off with spending the extra money on a player, but GS is just so important.
