Injuries in real football vs Injuries in Top Eleven.

Just found an interesting article on the internet regarding the frequecies of injury in football:

http://bjsportmed.com/content/33/3/196.full.pdf

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 hours of competitive activity, i assume they mean game time which equates to 666.6 games, most Prem clubs average around 40 games a season I believe.
Most squads have up to 40 players in training including reserves on any given day.

Still not heard of a concussion doing stretching either yet but we get in T11. :)

Not sure how you can compare that to T11. Isn't that study 15 years old?.

As stated before they use Pysiorooms stats, current figures are set from 2010/11 season or so I was told by Yan.

This is what we have to look forward to.

"The number of hours that players
were exposed to risk during competition was
calculated for each club by assuming that 11
players from the club were on the pitch at all
times during each match and that each match
lasted for 100 minutes (45 minutes standard
play plus five minutes extra time each half)."

So 1000/ (11players * (100/60))= 54.54 games or 1 injury every 1.97 games

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.
