I think they have tweaked the injuries to a point where you just put in players that are left now, which means defenders in midfield, goalkeepers up front or whatever you can do, have to admit my enthusiasm to log on is taking a hammering

Solution: have a larger squad

Easier said than done, I know, but that's just what you need to do if you want a consistently high preview rating all season long.

I've had 8 major injuries this season, every single one to members of my first choice XI, as well as multiple 3-match suspensions for 11 yellow cards which are almost as frustrating. The only way I have been able to mitigate it is by having cover for every single position that's as good or close to as good as my first choice players. As such, my preview rating has fluctuated between its best level of 76 and a lowest of 72, which has been enough to have a moderately successful season.

Injuries and suspensions contributed to me leaving the game the first time- this time I have learned and I'm playing the game the way you have to play it. It's no good complaining about the rules of the game if you're not playing the game the way it's intended to be played.

four LT injuries in four days plus two knocks. insane. im new with all the restrictions its hard to run the team like that.

As the season draws to a close, I have to admit that my initial post was a knee jerk reaction to the clutch of injuries & knocks I had encountered so early in the season.

My concern was whether this would be ongoing, especially as I have trended more injuries second half rather than early season in the past, but to the contrary, aside from a few injuries and knocks second half, I have not had a bad season overall, which suggests that I met my quota early. I'm not suggesting that's how injuries work, but it might be.

I currently have just one injured player & he isn't a first teamer.

Two knee cartilage strains for two of my best players, one defender and one midfielder. Both out for 9 days which is not the end of the world, but not ideal either.

Is it going to be my turn this season?

Let's hope so

Oh I hope not FM!

Dear FootballManager

The following player(s) picked up an injury:

Hisayuki Watamura (Defender).
Pentcho Slovensky (Defender).
Kristofer Wikstrom (Midfielder).

Ouch!

One a day All week. Up to four now.

Starting to think i'm being targetted for being promoted. My 3 best players are all injured for at least half a season. Could've been any players but it happens to be my top 3. 1 being my CF who would've given me a fighting chance against a lot of the teams but now has already lost 2 rating points.
Maybe I just should've never tried to get promoted to play with the top boys - or maybe I should just resign and restart somewhere else because the injury situation is and has always been ridiculous

Anyone ever had a more insane match than mine today? Two key players out with Grade 3 injuries for most of what's left of the season, and just look at the match stats.

Absolutely bonkers. Season ruining.

And to top it off, picked up another injury today in the cup to my best player

My injury list now consists of all 3 of my young, FA 90s midfielders

what logic run this platform?
3 red cards 3 injuries.

Looks like you're getting quite a few cards, are you playing high aggression?

Still, that does seem like a lot all at once, bad luck

If you think back to the premiership match between Chelsea and Spurs last season,, The mighty lily whites also had a similar thing happen within the same game, 2 sendings off and 3 long term injuries so it is possible in real life also from time to time,, very rare and unlucky though

Looks like he's had 2 of his players injured for quite a while though, looking at their match fitness. The red card thing is just silly though, even if it's spread across three matches. It often just feels like the game picks someone random to give a big middle finger to.

I remember one time i had two goalkeepers go injured in the same match and both were very long injuries. i had no goalkeepers for about 60% of the season.
It's why I keep 3 now.

I always try to keep three, as that's the one position that you can't do anything about with a formation change. Others may have many more, of course......

Backup keeper and 2 of my best midfielders out injured all in the same day. Only Grade 2 but still not ideal with big league games and a inter cup semi final match this week

In today's game I've just had 2 injuries along with an additional 3 players picking up knocks...all within one game. My entire first midfield had just been wiped out
