Brian Shanahan Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 As stated above I am really missing the injury crises that used to "plague" 09, as I base my whole rotation policy around having at least one.It got so bad that last season Misimovic my 2nd choice attacking CM only got 7 starts last year between CL (a run to the final) and the league, Martins my 3rd choice striker only got 11 in obth competitions, etc. My only longish term injury in 1 1/2 seasons has been Grafite who is currently out for c. 3 months with a groin strain. P.S. good work on fixing the corner exploit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seftinho Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 You do know that you can still play your squad players even if your first-teamers aren't injured, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Shanahan Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Yeah but I keep forgetting, and frankly I'm exaggerating slightly, but I have said "I could do with a few injuries right about now, keep my squad players happy". When I adjust to the new situation it will be less of a problem. P.S. my situation could be due to a super fit squad, I'm not sure as it's my first game to last longer than a few days.

wardog Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 ive found injuries are just as there as ever as IRL. If not they have it pretty spot on. I had a major injury crisis on my save last season with only a point needed to win the league as promotion was already garenteed all my strikers bar and and all my keepers fell of injury. Lukly we scraped a 0-0 draw with two games to go to seal the league title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkLife Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 with my southampton team (3rd season in) i have aimed to not have a first 11, but a first 22 in which i have a full squad that is good enough to play in my team, that way should i get any injuries then i have at least one replacement (2 for the central roles).

Simple, just rest players against the weaker sides in the league, and in the League Cup and F.A Cup. I also rest players in the Champions League group stage when I have already qualified. I also usually rest players below 95% fitness, and never start anyone below 90%, as I also like to rotate a big squad and keep them all happy.

Well I have one problem there, I'm a lazy, lazy man, I usually only radically change the team for the German Cup (no league cup any more in Germany), and when I've already qualified for the next round in Europe. There are some absolute no-hopers in the league but I'm a lazy lazy man as I've said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarko Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 You could always save two selections, one with your first team one playing reserves/subs/youths. If you're that lazy you problably don't change first team selection much during the season anyway so only thing to make adjustments for is injuries... which ironicly is what this thread is about.

crouchaldinho Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 The level of injuries seems fine to me. Much more realistic than 09 in my opinion. C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepydude Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 If you like to rotate, just save 2 different team selections using the Selection -> "Save team selection" feature and call them A team and B team or whatever. This way you can rotate your players with just two clicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 The level of injuries seems fine to me. Much more realistic than 09 in my opinion. C. There is still a major flaw in that the Hargreaves/Eduardo/Rosicky situation just cannot happen in FM. Never see a player out for more than a year on both 09 and 10. It's unrealistic.

It's unrealistic. This. However, I currently have 13 injuries in my 09 save, mostly strains keeping players out for 3-4 weeks, which I could do without, so I currently hate the injury bug. I have had a player retire due to injury....he was 38 and damaged his hip, though, but even then he was predicted as 6 months out. How can a 38 year old be expected to come back from a serious hip injury within 6 months :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alimac Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I have only had 1 bulk of injuries and still playing 09. They seem pretty realistic to me, afterall which club irl doesn't go through some sort if crisis from time to time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
