Can't beat a nice easy game to start the season with lol! Good luck rich although I'm sure you won't need it

4 games into the season and iv 3 of my first team out with injuries, two broken collar bones and a painful back injury. This seems a bit harsh. I had a pretty blessed injury free season a couple of seasons back (fat lot of good it did me against Rich  ) where it was just concussions and i think 1 sprained wrist the whole term so maybe this is just the match engine getting back at me.

Ducati making me work for 3 points last night and Huckers holding Jon to a 2-2 stalemate, things are interesting early this one guys

Aaand now another of my top players has a broken arm, thats 4 games and 4 long term injuries... If it continues at this ratio ill be lucky with a top half finish! Well... A bit of a saving grace that Rich was held to a draw. Im not liking my chances tonight Jon with half my starters hacked to pieces... You play pansy with Wilmot Piddlewaithe dont you 

[bigdealdave]

Good luck tonight Rich, an earlyish top of the table clash, id be happy with a draw, I dont like the idea of you being 4 points ahead after 8 games.... Hopefully thats a moot point though and i storm through to victory lol

Well done Dave,  keeps it interesting 😊

Really... I havent had a full strength team out since game 1 which was mildly irking, but honestly i think this is just too much 

[richff]

Ouch! I feel your pain mate. One times this game kicks you in the teeth but you'll get through it 😊👍

[bigdealdave]

Just one of those seasons i suppose, another broken finger last night to keep me on my toes. 

[richff]

My defence has gone from great to pants! Gonna struggle this season 😕

[bigdealdave]

About time 

[bigdealdave]

Okay guys, 12 games into the season and im pretty sure on record there isnt a team in the history of SL that comes close to matching my injuries...

Game 1- a painful back injury
Game 2- a mild concussion
Game 3- a broken collar bone
Game 4- a broken collar bone
Game 5- a broken arm
Game 6- two mild concussions
Game 7- a bruised shoulder
Game 8- a bruised shoulder and a mild concussion

At this point i had the Champions Shield round 3... Which resulted in  ...
A BROKEN LEG, A BROKEN CHEEKBONE AND A BROKEN COLLARBONE!

Game 9- hallelujah!!! No injuries!
Game 10- a broken finger
Game 11- a mild concussion

Elite Cup Round 2- broken collar bone

Game 12- a painful back injury

Seriously... SMDH

God dave dunno what you're complaining at its just one or two injuries 😉 No seriously though mate that's harsh but shows how good a job you're doing that your still cruising the league!

[bigdealdave]

i know Jon, but its no doubt affecting my PL games too, its just frustrating seeing fitness, moral and gelling so low all the time.

the first half of the season isnt over yet so its a long way from being over. Rich got unlucky last night with the Black Flag setting up and countering almost perfectly, that was a cheap loss man. 

[richff]

Not expecting much from this season anyway. I 'm in Turkey at the moment just chilling (or sweltering!).

Just about setting up but resting before I make a comeback next season 😀

[bigdealdave]

well the season is only halfway through after tonights match so ill not count chickens!

Enjoy Turkey Rich, if you could just relax and not set up for our FL1 match that would be great too 

i had a shocker today and im putting it down to low morale and gelling just after injuries, i think i should have played lower stat players instead of my usual starters. This is how we learn things
