Injuries

[Gannicus]

Injuries in this game can be a big pain, they can literally define your season. With this patch (14.2.1) every virtual manager knows that none of their players are safe. It doesn't matter if your name is Lewandowski or El Shaarawy; every single player is injury prone.

Now I just had this patch punch me hard in the face. 2 months into my first season as a Man United-manager, Wayne Rooney got ruled to an 8 months injury.

RVP is already quite injury prone. He's currently out for 3 weeks, Welbeck is out for 2 months and I only have Mitrovic as back up. FML right? I don't think I will do a better job than David Moyes

Any of you guys who has been just unlucky as me?

In the space of a season and a half I had Ben Davies get injured for 4 months, honda and fellaini both for 9 months and van persie out for 2 months!

Now I only have Welbeck and Mitrovic left. A bit of luck is needed now to win more than just 1 title this season

Van Persie came back, played the last 20min to get him match fit; and boom 4 months.

I never risk a player on competitive football until he's 100% fit. That's what reserve football is for.

Perhaps I should've just relied it all reserve football, but in my defense RVP was over 70% match fit and it's RVP in patch 14.2.1 we're talking about. It's really impressive if you manage to walk through a season with him not getting a long term injury.
