I would have added some commentary, but frankly the Cricket was far more important (c'mon New Zealand!)

I'm a statistician by profession, 5-10 minutes a day maintaining the spreadsheet is nothing really.

Number of matches played (and #s of trainings) is in the first table, 3rd to last column. Right next to that is the probability of an injury in a match/training - 27% chance of an injury in a league match for instance (so roughly 1 injury every 4 matches).

As far as red packs go, I currently have nearly 300 in the bank, and generally farm as many as I use in a season by watching videos on ipad & iphone. I don't know how much longer I'm going to be interested enough to keep going with the game, so I may as well use them.

Your re-injury point is an interesting one, I'll take a look at that later. It's not something that's happened often enough for me consider looking at.

I've never tanked - in fact I've never not qualified for the CL. I win roughly 1 league in every 3 seasons (I managed a healthy amount of farming of tokens in the past, so work to a 2-scouts a year budget). My cup record's not so good admittedly, but when you're playing 2 or 3 levels up. Otherwise, seasons where I've had a few Nordgens in my squad and invested green packs in power-training have tended to be the seasons where I've had higher injury rates.

I run a 21-man squad (up until this season it was 22, but I've dropped a GK to make signing & selling academy players easier), and I generally give all players 1 match a day, with friendlies filling gaps on 1-match days. I prioritise the Cup/CL meaning that my reserves carry the load in the league early in the season.


The other main stat I didn't post overnight was the summary of injuries by position - basically midfielders are twice as likely to be injured as defenders, with strikers fitting in somewhere in the middle, and GKs being least likely to get hurt.

Dont get me wrong Pete, good stats for many months, and what I was trying to do, you have done in spades. But what exactly, now that you have done that, can you get from those stats other than:

- more injuries happen in the last 3rd of the season
- the ST, MC, DC/DMC happen to get injured more than any other position (to be expected though)

Really, thats all I get that is useful.

What is missing is your success at the end of the seasons. If you came in 1st, are there more injuries next season? If you tanked, did you have more/less injuries? When using healing packs, did any get re-injured immediately? You dont mention, how many CL/CUP/League/Friendly games you have played in total to get a better idea of frequency.

The last one is most important, because you cant really compare with others if you dont say you are playing twice as many games as others. For example, I tank every second season, so I dont play as many CL games. I dont play many, if any, friendlies. I get kicked out of the cup early, more often than not.

and finally. you use too many red packs! That itself is the main reason why I think you have more injuries than I would expect based on my personal numbers.
