A good physio at FM24 cannot prevent a player from injury but it can be the difference between a player being out for four months or three months.
An often-overlooked part of any backroom team in Football Manager, having highly qualified medical staff can benefit your team.
Here, we run the best medical experts on FM24 who start saving every game without a club.
Here are the best Physiology and Medicine experts athletic picks to sign on FM24.
Head physio
Jean-Philippe Gilardi
Physiotherapy results: 20/20
Gilardi is one of many physios with a high level of physiotherapy.
The reason we chose it here is that the adaptability score is also 20/20. Adaptation is not an important attribute for a physio, but when there are so many good things, it comes down to those small and slightly important margins.
Olivier Matherne
Physiotherapy results: 20/20
As we explained here, the only difference between a head physio and a physio is their salary. So if you’re going to pay one person more than the next person, you want to pay the person with the best behavior.
Materne ticked that box, physiotherapy score is 20/20.

Physio
Juanjo Brau
Physiotherapy results: 20/20
Brow’s stats are as good as anyone’s, but his chances of joining a League Two club aren’t too high given his 26 years at Barcelona.
Davy McGovern
Physiotherapy result: 18/20
In FM24, it’s a shame to induce physios. If so, McGovern, a motivational score of 17/20, might be able to give a few pep talks when treating injured players.
The former Celtic worker has a high level of physiotherapy and is often willing to join a number of clubs regardless of their name.
Head of Sports Science
Martin Mrugala
Sports Science Score: 20/20
The head of sports science is the same as the head physio, the only difference between them and their subordinates is their compensation.
If you want to splash the money on the head of the department, Mrugalla will be the eligible recipient of your money.
Ingo Mayer
Sports Science Score: 20/20
Meyer is one of the best in the industry at what he does, but he has no ego at FM24.
His excellent performance will not hinder his dream of working in a small club at the bottom of the English football pyramid. Good for him.
Sports scientists
David Kelly
Sports Science Score: 18/20
Kelly has said he would “love” to one day work for Barnsley again after 13 years at the club, as he leaves Manchester United in 2022.
He is listed as a Barnsley supporter in FM24, but is willing to join rival Yorkshire clubs such as Leeds United or Sheffield United. The ‘is David Kelly a Barnsley superfan or not’ fiasco screams. In other news, he is a very good sports scientist.
Liu Ka-chun
Sports Science Score: 17/20
Just when you thought the deepening of David Kelly’s allegiance to Barnsley was over, Kelly’s former teammate at Manchester United Ka-Chun comes to shed new light on one of the biggest sporting stories of the decade.
According to Ka-Chun, Kelly has no choice but to put his professional ambitions ahead of his personal feelings, which explains why he is joining rivals Barnsley on FM24. At least we have closure now. thank god. Also, Ka-Chun will be a great addition to your backyard crew.
