What do you do to prevent (longterm) injuries?

[Sumbriva]

hey guys

I'm playing as Arsenal: yes, they are known to be injury prone etc.
But my injury crisis in FM14 is just going on forever. I sometimes have 10 or more players injures. I once had to play Viviano (GK) as DM. And what's really annoying is that already 5 injuries this season were 3-4 months and 4 months+ And then all their attributes decrease quite a bit.
So what do you do to prevent injuires?
I have normal training in balanced and average. Individual training on average. Medium workload.
4 good physios. 4 good fitness trainers.
What else does this game want from me?!?

cheers

A squad of 25+ players and frequent squad rotation. If you're expecting 11-15 players to play 40+ games every season, they will be lucky to make it to 25 without crippling long term injuries.

I would suggest you stop buying injury prone players.

The majority of players can play 40+ games a season without getting injured for longer than a couple of weeks tops, but certain players can barely string 10 games together before they're out for three months.

If there's a player you know has a history of injuries [in game or real life] then it's likely he will get injured again.. There are other ways to tell, i.e your scout might mention the player is injury prone in his report.

Give them enough rest when they need it. Just give em an extra day off.
Also buy players with good fitness/stamina or w/e it's called in english, it will mostly tell how fit a player is. If he can play in bad weather, 3 matches a week etc or that he has to get subbed like every match.

Use rotation, give them enough rest (the "rest all players" option is a ******* godsend). Make sure no player's training intensity is above 'average'.

Then there is the freak injury(eg. broken legs, arm injuries, head related injuries, bruises, twisted knees) that happen in training or in a match(robust challenge) which you unfortunately cannot prevent.

Then there are injuries arising from simply being injury prone, a player with a long list of injuries is likely to have high injury proneness.

Use rotation, give them enough rest (the "rest all players" option is a ******* godsend). Make sure no player's training intensity is above 'average'.

For anyone looking for the old 'rest all players' button in the mini-calendar, its now 'schedule rest day' in the full calendar.

(Sorry for being Captain Obvious, but before I realised this I used to CTRL+Click every player in my team and go to training-> rest)
