I am going to jinx myself here. This season i have got away with injuries. But i normally get the EL 8/9/10 injured after 3 mins that knocks the game out of the window type. I think when the Magic 8 Ball on injuries has run for Steve this season all the options are setup to Knacker the Player for 4 games :)

Min 33: Peter Bonetti (SJ) goes down in the box looking for the penalty...
        ...but instead he's given a yellow card for what was clearly a dive.

Bonetti is the SJ keeper - and the booking he got gives him a suspension - there IS some justice in the world. (Referee was Mark Creasey - ..!!)

The Youth team also picked up an early injury that could have wrecked the team. I had DFs on 6, 5 and 5 with the 5s playing 45 each. However the 6 took a knock after 18 minutes which meant the 5 sub came on leaving me on 4 3 and 3 for them but luckily neither of those still.on picked up negative EL injuries.

We were lucky in that game as I messed up the WG sub and completely forgot to order a FW sub but managed to win somehow.

I'm sorry but these are getting ridiculous. 3 games again my star WG gets a -12 injury after 11 minutes that kept him out the next two games. Luckily the sub survived to -3. 2 games ago my sub GK picked up a -4 injury after 16 minutes that meant no TP used - fortunately the sub only had to play 2 minutes below 0 EL. Then today we pick up a -8 injury on the player that survived to -3, that puts him out the next game and caused a sub on 4 EL (the best that was available) to play 61 minutes and now he's not fully fit for the DD match Wednesday.

I have no idea how injuries are affecting other teams but it's spoiling this league for me.
