20 year old very high potential and serious injury

[god7father]

I have a very high potential (178) 20 year old who after coming back from a 5 week injury will now be out for two months with naother injury. Is he still young enough to reach his potential or have the injuries permanently impeded his ability to reach his potential?

 

[great cugil]

yes, injury is affecting his potential, but you still have enough time.

20 is still very young. Wait for him to get a nice run of games, and his attributes will catch up. But if he keeps getting injured for lengthy periods of time, you might have to sell him, regardless of his potential.

Its a bit like Jack Wilshere isnt it, bags of potential and always getting injured! Give him time mate and fingers crossed he will come good!!

Arocdnicg to rsceearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt
tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer are in the rghit pcale. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit
pobelrm. Tihs is buseace the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

I know he messed up the first letter but if you can't figure out he meant 'another' then I'd suggest going back to school mate.

Or how about sticking to the subject matter at hand instead of people making childish posts.

Sigh

Still chance he can reach his potential as he only 20. Would suggest when he comes back from injury slowly give him game times and if you see he looking tired then make sure he gets rest when needed. Jack Wilshire not always injured it just he had a major injury which needed and taken time to heal so that comment was off.

Look at players like, Ledley King, Paul Mcgrath, Jonathan Woodgate, Micheal Owen, brazil Ronaldo all who reached the Top and where class players but had injury problems. Just how you manager them.

I've never really felt the issue is individual injuries, it's about when they're getting injured regularly. That's always been the problem with Andrew Driver, who starts every FM with relatively high PA and then gets injured so often, as well as really lacking the fitness to play 90 minutes on a wing, that he never amounts to more than just a fringe player. If you actually follow Driver's real life career, then that's an aspect that FM is getting increasingly accurate with!

Might depend a bit on where he plays. Some positions, and roles, may be less physical and so you may be able to protect him a little (although try and restrict his international football as much as you can!). Andy Driver's problem is that he's a winger. Currently having problems with a left back with a PA around 185. Playing as left back, especially in a tactic which expects him to be attacking, is pretty physically demanding. He's been on loan for the past two seasons. Did reasonably well last year, but this year he's managed to get injured 3 times in 3 months (the latest is 3 months after an ankle break). He could be the best left back in the world in a couple of years, but realistically he almost certainly won't be. I'll probably look to sell him while he's fit and his PA is still high.
