AI Injuries

I'm QPR in Season 2. Got promoted and am sitting in 9th after 11 games (shades of Hull in rl methinks coming up as I have not played any of the top 4 yet) which i am very happy with, considering the strength and depth of my squad.

I have just played Man City at home and got done 0:2. They had Husyev injured in the first 5 minutes. His conditioning went down to 69 immediately. I decided to hard tackle him and close him down as Razvan Rat has full conditioning and can run a bit anyway. He finished the match with a goal and an assist, rating 7.9, man of the match and generally tore me up for toilet paper, running up and down the wing the whole game. His conditioning got a little better as he 'ran off his injury' I assumed and finished the match at 67. Just checked and he is now out for 4 weeks with a foot injury.

Had I been managing Man City, he would have been hooked as soon as i saw his conditioning at 69, especially as Quaresma and Valencia were sitting fully fit on the bench. Am I wrong in thinking this? Cant quite fathom why the AI would keep an injured player on for the whole game like that

AI would've given him time too shake off the injury and slowly his fitness level percentage would've gone up back too normal (around 80%). After the match though since he played with a knock he could've made the injury worse.

Well maybe but he stayed at 69 for about 20 mins then only ever got back to about 71/72 and only fell back to 67 at the end. His fitness and stamina are high - 16 for each one, so maybe thats why he only went down a little.

Yes your exactly right
