Loads of injuries and 'knocks'?

[Jack_Has_Arrived]

I'm managing Newcastle at the start of October. So far 7 first team players (Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Debuchy, Marveaux, Remy, S Taylor and Santon) are all injured. Some for 3 weeks, some for 4 months (Ben Arfa). I've never known an injury crisis like this in FM. Just going off of that, I'd say I was just really unlucky. However there is also the fact that in EVERY game I get at least three notices telling me that a player has taken a 'knock' which reduces their fitness level to around 70%, are my players' bones and tendons made of brittle glass or something? Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a bug? Replies would be appreciated! Still liking the game overall though

My players pick up a few knocks too, but they usually recover from them and are able to continue. Not had too many injuries, most I've had so far was 4 at the same time.

At least Ben Arfa is easily injured IRL too. Like Agger, who once broke three ribs just by falling to the ground. Some people are just made of glass.

Yeah I was thinking that about Ben Arfa. I get what you're saying, and obviously players are going to get slight niggles, it just seems a bit extreme with all the knocks, once I got 5 in one match haha. Almost as if they've tried to add a realistic feature but taken it too far. But what do I know haha

my players just have to look at another player and they get injured it's a joking i had 6 first team players out my team i am using is arsenal and they got a small squad not happy with the game

You're not the only one. I got fired from the L.A. Galaxy because of poor performance (players couldn't stay on the field). Juninho would play for a week, get injured, be out for two weeks. And that would repeat all season. Keep in mind I DIDN'T rush his recoveries every time he was injured. So yeah. I think the injuries are a little too much.
