xonnk Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I have bought Messi with Inter about 2-3 months ago, but he has yet to play 3 consecutive matches for me. He never reaches more than 95% condition, and as soon as i play him he gets injured, the most he has played is 2 matches in a row before he got injuried again. Has anyone else had this problem with him? Is there a way to help him over-come it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 If he barely reaches 95% are you sure he is match fit? If he is lacking match practice his condition will onyl go up slowly and you really need to give him some but not alot of time on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc_ Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Truth be told, he does actually play in an inconsistent manner in Barça. I've heard that he has a problem concerning his growth so he sometimes plays off the bench, or not at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smac Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 He's not particularly injury prone (there is a hidden stat for this). But it can always happen that a player just goes on a bit of an unlucky run, especially if over-taxed as Neji points out. Messi was only injured 2 times for me in 2 years, for 3 days and a week respectively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xonnk Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 He is match-fit, i checked it. Hopefuly this run ends soon, and he starts delivering for his 48 milion fee and 175k/week wage! Or else i'm getting rid of him next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reillyg Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 He took growth hormones when he was young, probably more than he should have. Meaning his bones, tendons and muscles are weak so he needs to be rested more and will be more injury prone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chao Yang Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 That's what happened with Ronaldo 9 too right? I think he took growth hormones as well in PSV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 It can happen. My key player is Fabregas - his injury proness attribute is fine but he also gets injured for 6 months after coming back for his first game time and again. Just bad luck IMO.

Ediocy Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Is it possible for the "injury-prone" attribute to change while you are playing the game? Meaning to say, Messi's "injury-prone" attribute might have started out with a moderate value, only to have it rise due to repeated or serious injuries suffered in a short span, thus increasing his injury frequency further?

phnompenhandy Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 It should Ediocy; however, I check Fabbie's using an editor and it doesn't change despite his constant injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkij Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Iv had Messi for a couple of years now and he rarely gets injured, but i have hadto send him on a 3 week brake during my last season, to get his fitnesss back. I think its down to what your oppostion tell there players to do, i mean they are proberbly telling there players to tackle him hard which is why he is getting injured so much.

The_Kreman Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 One thing to keep in mind is that if a player has been out for a while with an injury, they need to be slowly integrated back into full match action, even if their fitness says match fit. Make sure he gets a coupld of games for the reserves and then bring him on as a sub for a couple of games. It may be painstaking and it will need patience, but 30 minutes of Messi for two games, is better than no Messi for two months Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kreman Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Also, Messi took growth hormones??? They weren't very good ones ;-) Where as i think that Ronaldo 9 just ate pies and that gave the same affect!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
