AWOL

[RParker9]

I've had at least 2 AWOLs every night for around the last week. On rehab every night. My best midfielder has been AWOL for 1 week for 5 days in a row. Then my new midfielder is away for 3 weeks.

Am I doing anything wrong or is it just horrendous luck? It's doing my head in.

I had a left mid that was almost awol for 2 seasons, had to sell him, only cost me 10k 🤦‍♂️

[RParker9]

Oh great. Hope that doesn't happen. Can't be on with that! Fingers crossed

I think some players are more susceptible to getting awols then others.

Not every player is the same as some train quicker then others so there may be a correlation with attributes/player characteristics and awols but I have never really researched into this.

From past experience, I've had some players who have gone awol on many times during the season (my left back this season with 5 awols) but I see this decreasing over time when they are in their prime along with starting in the first 11 more often.

He obviously knew I was mad, my LM is back today and in good time too. The lovely person I played last night decided to play psycho all game for the 1st time all season and injured 2 players. Some people are so nice!!

[Denmark_14]

You got lucky with only 2 😅

[RParker9]

Yeah probably. Haha

Last season I had 1 injury all season, and can’t even remember having an awol, I get to the top league and I have an injury every league game, lost 4 players last night, can’t field a team today, so all the hard work you put in to leagues and money you just get screwed, I may as well put myself in 1-3-4!!!

Same here. Currently sat with 5 injuries, 4 of them to my strikers. Can't field a fit team today. I get a new injury or AWOL every night.

There's more risk of injuries in x-1-1 because of the less amount of computer teams & the fact that human players play nutter / psycho with certain refs.

[RParker9]

I know it's more likely but sometimes it's just unlucky. My last 4 games

Both normal aggression - 8 week injury, conceded on level as a result.
Both pansy aggression - 8 week and 12 week injury, conceded whilst on top as a result.
Both normal aggression - 8 week injury.
Opposition normal aggression - 2 week injury.

But we fight on!!

That's unlucky - normal v normal & pansy v pansy against computer teams you probably wouldn't have had those injuries!

My 3rd best midfielder now has 8 AWOLs. When he's not AWOL he always plays Division matches. I'm pretty consistent with Rehab each night. I may have forgotten to log in once or twice this season after midday games... but this is madness. He's been out for 28% of the season

Seems pretty serious though, he's having an argument with his girlfriend..

That sucks mate. I know there are players that can have a horrendous history of AWOLs but this does eventually go away. My main LB would have atleast 6 AWOLS for the first 3 seasons and now he's in his 5th season, part of my first 11 and only has 1 AWOL so far this season.

I'm very confident his awols will dramatically decrease within the next couple of seasons but it's your choice if you would want to get a replacement. I have personally never replaced a player with a bad awol track record because I know it improves over time.
