*** FM17 thread ***

That's exactly my issue. It might be because i set them to play in the under 20s when theyre not ready. Even 20 minutes when they're half fit will kill them.
This wasn't an issue with 16, so something has changed or its a bug.

Same player, returned from injury.
Was match fit, injured again, for 3-6 weeks.

He has 14 natural fitness.

I think natural fitness covers how quickly a player recovers from a match and how much a match tires a player. The higher the natural fitness the quicker he can recover from a match and the less impact a match has on him.

There is a hidden attribute called "Injury proneness" which covers how likely a player is to get an injury. The higher it is the more likely they'll get injured and perhaps also lengthier injuries too.
 
Normally you'd get an indicator on a scouts report about injury proneness, there's nothing.

I've got the most injuries in the league.

Just a bit naff, he's basically always injured.

Are you coaches who report on him capable? Do they have high judging ability/potential? I'm finding that my coaches who report on the players are pretty naff. I've got one who has 13/17 and he is more accurate.
 
They're solid enough for Championship.
But his injuries are just too much. Hasn't seem to stall his progress though, he's match fit basically straight away lol.
 
Ok so I can not for the life of me work out how to change news subscriptions. I like to have manager and owner comings and goings in my inbox in the past. Any ideas?
 
Started a new game last night as Sheffield Wednesday, (have been in hospital, and playing a bit of Civilisation 6, so have only got my first beta save as a mess about) with the intention of getting my first 'proper' save going.

11 injuries (granted half were present at the start), in less than a week :D. Meh. I'll start a game properly next week. Seriously; 6 injuries in ~8 days~.

All out for a minimum of 4 weeks!
 
Yep, definitely an injury bug doing the rounds. It's not the initial injury that's the problem though. If your player reaches the rehabilitation stage and you then make them start light training, they will injure themselves again. My guy just had 3 months out now he's out with a broken foot for 7 months. This was in his first 20 minutes light training. He was probably my best player. Gutted.
 
I have had a few injuries but nothing I would class as unrealistic. Only had 2-3 regulars out on a couple of occasions but I have cover anyway, normally have 5-6 max at the worst case, but most of the time it is 1-2 including youth players.

My worst time was both my main striker and my loan cover being out. Luckily my wingers score lots and made up the difference.
 
Not entirely sure how this happened :o It was close for most of the year but Man City went four games without a win towards the end of the season (including a 4-0 defeat to me) and in the end I was champion with a couple of matches to spare.

One of those defeats and four of the goals came when Nouri got a straight red in the 25th minute and Shelvey got a second yellow for protesting the decision.

Berardi won player of the year with 15 goals and 13 assists in 27 apps, and my three defenders - Hanley, Hugo Basto, and Jorge Mere - were all fantastic. The only time I had injury issues was when Berardi and Perez were both out for 4-6 weeks, but Mitrovic and Dolberg stepped up.

Unfortunately I doubt I'll be able to keep Berardi. Two days after the final match of the season and he's already decided he wants to go to Bayern, who probably won't be put off by his £45m release clause :(

Edit: omg omg omg omg

He cost my entire transfer/wage budget plus the money I got from selling Will Hughes but I don't care. Who needs squad depth anyway?

Good achievement! I hope it's realistic!
 
Having got promoted with my Southend squad, I set about trying to compete in the Premier League with my dreadful squad and minute budget (£7m in trafers and £350k per week in salaries). Somehow, having been released by Arsenal the seaosn before and spending a year without a club, I managed to sign Jack Wilshere on a free with a £60k a week wage. I was warned about his injury record by my scouts but after checking his injury history I decided to snap him up - he's only had three relatively minor injuries over three season.

He lasted 8 minutes on his debut! :D Only a niggling injury but unsurprising.

My side is awful. I have no money to spend and stupidly asked for an increase in transfer and salary budget too early, and was refused - we had a couple of million in the bank, but the day before the transfer window we had ~£10m and I reckon they'd have given me more funds. Managed to sign a decent ball-playing centre back, Chekhou Kouyate from West Ham and Rasmus Nissen from FC Midjytlland - would highly recommend this guy, very strong all round right back and can play DM too.

I seem to concede every single shot highlight each game, and struggle to score. I thought I'd won a famous game up at Anfield, trailing 2-0 at half time my inspiring team-talk saw us score three in the second half only to concede in the final minute. I'm on 4 points by early November and could be in for a long old season.
 
Started a new save this week, took over at Newcastle and sold everyone except UK&I players. Should be interesting, always wanted to do a save like that and Newcastle happened to be a perfect starting point. Bought in Iorfa, Hughes, Onomah, Tunnicliffe and Patterson. Oh and Bobby Zamora with a serious injury release clause just because he's free/cheap wages for a bit of experience, he's actually been a great super sub for me, came on and won 3 games so far! Only trouble is every match he plays he's 'injured' for 3 days after to recuperate :D

Was there a patch yesterday? Downloaded 600mb when I signed in Steam this morning.
 
They said it was for stability purposes, so it's likely fixing a few crash issues. But they might have had a little play with the regen face graphics too as they are a llittle different now.
 
promised myself I was skipping this year, but I cant


wheres the cheapest place to pick it up with beta access just now?
