1st league game injury and 2nd league game injury!!!

[Pete Cresswell]

I was going to set up a new thread, but since we're talking about injuries in this one, here's my update on injury stats:

Attachment 30090

Rugby's Better proved remarkably resilient last season, only picking up 11 injuries through the season (1 every 2.5 days on average), a welcome respite after suffering 21 injuries (1 every 1.3 days) in the previous season. Overall over the last 5 seasons the team has averaged an injury every 1.8 days (or 16 per season). Note that team management try to avoid:
a) Over playing - 1 match per player per day where possible
b) Over training - on average we try to give each player 1 of each type of regular training, though that's increased for players who've been involved in friendly matches which are less taxing on conditioning
c) Low-condition work - we try to ensure all players who start matches have >90% condition, and never train anyone who's below 80% condition.

The team is quite successful at farming green packs (as well as reds - seeing as on average we use 160 of them per season! That's 10 per injury). Hence we do power-train selected players. However, we try to only do this on days where the team has only 1 serious match (we organise 1 friendly on those days)

Looking at where injuries happen, as a broad trend there's an 18% chance (almost 1 in 5) that you'll get an injury in any given match. And in training injuries seem broadly proportional to the condition loss involved - approaching 1 in every 12 practice matches, 1 in 18 cardio and 1 in 40 stretching.




Ankle strains are far and away the most common injury, followed by minor hamstring strains - and given that they're not as serious that's a good thing!

Thanks Pete--PER SEASON Thats an average of 15.8 injuries,67.6 Intl days out,160.6 red packs(costing 148 Tokens) Which is about my total monthly/season purchase for player,s blue&green boosters etc. I guess im F####D,cos im not buying more Tokens whilst the finances,auctions and scouts at my level just DO NOT ADD UP As said my auctions only have less quality older players than i already own,and my 3 scout lists so far have only old players in positions not needing covered yet. i have Tokens to spend and Nordeus does'nt seem to want them,they only want to steal them through injuries and finances it seems,yeah right,i,ll keep em

[Pete Cresswell]

Yep. I manage to farm 6-10 boosters a day (between iPad & iPhone), 2 seasons back I was having to prioritise red packs to keep my stocks up (I bought some reds several seasons back, and haven't gone below 100 since), currently I'm prioritising $ then reds, (I'm generating enough farmed "investment" to pay wages, leaving ticket sales, merch & sponsorship to cover win bonuses). But if I was having to spend tokens it'd be tough.

Currently on iPad I'm also getting 2-4 tokens a day just for opening Tapjoy's website (well, and 'playing' an occasional ad), which basically means I can afford a couple of scouts a season as long as I'm cautious on auctions. I've at least had a decent Scout market this season, got 22yo MC/GK corner taker/1-on-1 stopper. And last night I got a 19 yo, fast trainer near-scout AMC/AMR for a token, and on top of that his predecessor sold overnight for 25% over market value, so it must've been a decent bidding war (I listed him at $11m, sold for $17m)
