Extraordinary Run Of Injuries...
With the season only 12 days old, I have already encountered an extraordinary run of injuries at the club this season.

I currently have four players injured including one knock, which brings the total up to ten for the season... seven injuries and three knocks, which thankfully hasn't impacted my game too much, but did restrict me tactically this week & also forced me out of a reserve game, so I could keep all my players fresh for cup games which I went on to lose sadly.

The length of injury has been 3 to 11 days, so it hasn't been game changing end of season stuff. For comparison, I didn't have anywhere near this many injuries for the whole of last season, so I guess it is balancing itself out somewhat, but maybe someone should have a turn... any takers?

It's the game trying to level the playing field, can't have you running away with the league like you currently are

I don't know how many injuries you've had this season so far Andy, but I'd have a few less selection headaches if I had the number of players you have to choose from, lol.

I doubt I'll be running away with anything this season. It'll take some doing to hold onto the title that's for sure.

Ten is a lot for so early in the season but it sounds like you're counting knocks too, which aren't so much of a problem. You can still play them and at most miss one game, maybe two, if their Fitness goes down to a very low figure.

Your squad currently only shows four injuries this season but there is a bug that injuries to players in reserve matches don't get added to the injury count.

Last season, I had eleven real injuries and this season I've had four so far, nowhere near the ten you've had but more than normal. It happens every now and again that you a get more than usual, and in my experience it sometimes lasts for two seasons.

It's as if there is some "probability of getting injuries" rating that clubs have which fluctuates over the seasons.

Yeah, I get the seasonal fluctuations. Some seasons will be worse than others, but it's the unknown element now. Have I had all my injuries in one go, or is there more to come?

I think I had 3 injuries and a similar amount of knocks last season, so I shouldn't really complain... it just feels like the injuries are weighted against my side right now.

Just had another 3 injuries today, one in a reserve match, two in our cup match, bringing it up to 9 for this season now. Not yet as many as last season but getting closer. I don't mind too much as I have a large squad that should be able to cope but sometimes I miss one or two key players.

How are you doing for injuries, Blueboar? Are the injuries still coming? Just wondering if it tends to last more than one season for others too.?

4 injuries in four games, all long term and to my best two strikers, my best defender and my best goalie.

I knew it was all going too well this season.

I think there has been a few changes to this game in recent months with injuries and suspensions being ramped up to stretch your squads to the limit. I have also noticed training is much harder now, I can barely train my players now because they get fatigued unless i train them on low.

Nah, believe me it's been like this from the very beginning. One of the reasons I left way back in Season 9 was frustrations with injuries and suspensions meaning you could literally never play your best team apart from in the first few matches of the season.

Ironically it's not even as bad as it can be in real life football- at least you don't seen 8-10 players in the treatment room at once, like many Premiership teams have this season- but still, if you're going to emulate just one area of real football management, why choose something that frustrates your managers?

The only solution to the problem is strength in depth in your squad and therefore that's how I am playing the game now.

Currently, just the one injury. I have had quite a few knocks since my last post on this topic.

If I am honest, I was worried that the level of injuries I was getting, would ruin this season if they became an ongoing situation.

I am pretty superstitious about talking about this now that the injuries have slowed down & I know that if I say too much more, the RG will take everything I have worked for, so I'm going to shut my face now lol.

Knocks don't necessarily affect performance on the pitch from what I've seen. I once had a player with a knock score a hat-trick

I welcomed back one of my main strikers after a short injury yesterday and he played the whole 90 minutes. 10 minutes into today's Super Cup match and he's injured again He literally got to play 100 minutes of football between injuries...

I think some players are more susceptible to frequent injuries than normal. Jamie Edge came to Möwen six months ago and already has been injured Grade 2 or 3 three times. Maybe that was why he appeared on the transfer list!

I've just had a grade 3 to a player that has just came back. Sick of it all now, no point. He will drop a few points now as my coaches are not good enough.
