more so bad player stats Philip but bad or no morale doesn't help. And I'm sorry Cid but history and testing says otherwise for me and other people. What ever the science is behind tackling on top eleven, I still know that the only time i get a player injured with a broken leg or something is straight after the opposing player has been carded, they have a low rated team/players and are using hard tackling. History/testing and daily games managing 2 teams have proven what you said other-wise :/
So the crappier and dirtier a team you play, the more likely they will injure you badly. Using hard tackle.
OK.
I kinda makes sense, a bit like reality... like the FA CUP!
