Injury Rate Study

[Keith Gaule]

Well, everyone will have different stats, so it's only really relevant to you. All i know is I've had an injury for each of my 3, different level teams, in their first cup match. Last season one of my teams picked up 4 injuries over 2 games. Each injury put the player out for 6days+ - that's 6 games, and more for 2, one of them for 10 games ... this is not in line with actual real life team injuries. Not even close.

Prove it.

I've watched deceptive and misleading posts from one end of the curve for several months. My study, contrary to your opinion, is not just relevant to me. It's the only systematic study of injuries undertaken here. While not conclusive, it concurs with official statements regarding injury rates in the game, and as an objective study, it's much more significant than the prevalent subjective gripes about injury rate.
