    I have three questions and a suggestion for the mythbuster

    TRUE or MYTH

    1. Newly acquired players need time to "gel" with the club and achieve their full potential. They may play poorly at first for no apparent reason. (I think it's plausible)

    2. Training while at low condition (yellow, orange) is more likely to injure the player (I think it's plausible)

    3. Training while at low condition result in lower SP yields (I think it's a MYTH)

    The suggestion is to keep the first post updated with the myths that have been tested/discussed. There are currently only four myths listed in the "resume", even though there are 8 pages of discussions. I think inconclusive or "in progress" myths should also be listed.

    Thanks!

    Of course it's a myth, in fact it's quite the opposite for me!
    AH AH — manager of Atlético Kolkata. Named in honour of my hometown club, Atlético de Kolkata, which won the inaugural edition of Indian Super League in 2014.

    A good defence is the best offense.

    That, too, is a myth

    I'm pointing out the irony...

    Here's a MYTH. Stretching before a game makes injuries in the game less likely. IRL, yes. In TE, my guy got a 5 day injury from stretching last night.

    I always knew stretching could cause an injury. Well, not always, but since it happened the first time. It's just a 10/3 training option (in addition to the 20/6, 30/9 and 60/18, the latter available in web app only) with an arbitrary label. Now, if I knew that each training option has the exact same chance of injury, I would stick with "practice match" for 30/9 gain or "practice match on hard" for 60/18 gain. But Nordeus warns us that training on hard has a higher chance of injury. By that rationale, the lightest training option should have the lowest chance of injury. In practice, this is my second injury (and a severe one) from stretching. I don't recall how many injuries I got from "practice match" or "cardio", but not many more. Perhaps the injuries from stretching just stick with you more because it seems so unfair.

    This has nothing to do with TE mechanics, but I wonder if IRL it is possible to get an injury from stretching.
