What The F%^ & Again Injury Player

[Qambu Yaasi]

Hard tackling by itself does not cause injuries to your own players. Hard tackling reduces player condition fast, so does whole pitch press. So a combination of both MAY result in your players getting injured.

As for injuring opponents, from my personal observation, hard tackling does not injure opponents, it just makes opponents lose the ball much more frequently than they would normally do under normal/easy tackling circumstances.

Last season was the first time I have used Hard tackling for the whole season just to see what it brings to my team. It is effective for me but my players tire more. So I don't turn on whole pitch press when I have hard tackling on. I've only injured league opponents' players on two occasions and that was in a single match. So NO I dont believe Hard tackling is a dirty/malicious tackle, neither it is a Vinny Jones type of tackle. It is more like a Roy Keane-ish/Gatusso-ish tackle.
