    27.7 injuries per 1000 hours of activity happen during competition, 3.5 injuries per 1000 hours of activity happen during training.

    Therefore based on the statistics on this article, A manager in top eleven should experience on average 23.5 injuries for a 52 match season (26 League, 13 Champions League, 13 Cup games)

    One of each training on normal, would be 100 mins per player per day, for a 20 man squad over a season its 56,000 minutes of training and that would leave an average of 3.25 injuries per season.

    We would looking at an average of 25-30 injuries per season on a normal regime.
    1000 man hours / 27.7 injuries = 36.10 man hours per injury
    36.10 man hours per injury / 11 players per match = 3.28 matches per injury
    (note: only 11 players per team play at a time in a match)
    52 matches for a season / 3.28 match per injury = 15.85 match injuries per season

    is my calculation correct?

    edit: oh i forgot. 1 match is 1.5 hours. so total match injuries per season is 23+. my injuries is slightly less than that after i have uprgraded my grass. only 1 more grass upgrade left for me.
