Just-Wool Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 One of the old fms, not sure which. I had a guy out for 15 months with a broken skull or something. So far in 16 I've not had it too bad. Other than one of my youth players getting a broken leg and being out for 8 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draakon Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I'm in August 2017 in my FM16 long term save now, and now 3rd player damaged a cruciate ligament. All of them young players, all of them weren't at the club (injured on loan), but one of those three was hacked down by my own left-back in a match between clubs. I don't overexercise players, I have rarely any serious problems with overall injuries/fitness in my squad, but those 3 cruciate ligaments have hampered some young careers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Ingersoll Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 ive not had too many real long term but half my team was injured for 3 months or more at the same time. It wasnt half of them but it was a good 5 starters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmfan74 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 just recently had a player out for 8 months from viral infection. Sounds like a long term cold/flu excuse i could one day use against work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowieinspace Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 http://imgur.com/nA3ICVx Yeah this guys severe cruciate injury is coded into the game so he often ends up like this - basically a Ledley King style can't train between games type thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgik Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Another one i forgot to mention was way back when Vieira was world-class at Arsenal, he broke his leg, and he retired after 3 months, i was gutted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YKW Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 On FM12 I signed a promising youngster from Brazil, bringing him to Denmark. He couldn't settle no matter what I did, so I arranged an off-season (Jan-March) tour of Brazil, and when we returned the player was happy! He managed to get his form going and earned a u21 call up. Sadly, while he was in Brazil with the U21s he picked up a serious viral infection and was out for a year. It sucked, but was an entertaining story.

Raniel3 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 For those who say players don't retire anymore from injuries: On FM 16 I've had two player retiring due to cruciate ligament ruptures in the first two seasons. They don't retire instantly, but they did at the end of the season. One of them became member of my staff (out of pity, he's actually really bad as a coach...). However, both of them were on expiring contracts, so players are maybe less inclined (or don't at all) to end their careers on contracts that run for multiple years to come. To be fair, why should they miss those 5 millions they will earn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakarooney Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I am managing FC United of Manchester and a few seasons back i had two players get damaged cruciate ligaments in the same game(9-11 months i think). Both wanted to retire but luckily i managed to coerce them into carrying on after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcftm Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Signed Matt Mills on a free for Hartlepool, we went 1-0 up against Gillingham with about half an hour to go in the first game of the season. Later my midfielder rolled the ball back to Mills who was the deepest defender, as their striker closed him down Mills fell over and let their striker nick the ball and run clean through to equalise. Turned out Mills had ruptured his cruciate ligaments and he decided to retire a week later. Not my best signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeonflux Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 On FM 06 i brought Teddy Sheringham to Hereford United and after a Hat-trick on his debut, he scored an early goal in his second game before taking a bad fall after going up for a header. He was out for 13-14 months with a broken back. He returned the following year as he was on a 2 year deal and then promptly broke his neck and was out for another 8 months. He retired as soon as the injury was announced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakirola86 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Broke the bank to bring Xabi Alonso to Olympiakos what a coup I thought!! 3 games in Damaged his Cruciate Ligament out for 11 months he "promptly" decided to retire 4 months later. Obviously just padding out his bank account. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Jake Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 This was the most recent thread I could see, so I could moan about my poor poor Strootman. Signed him for the 18/19 season. 4 games in, does his cruciate ligament, out for 7-8 months. Manage to play him in the last game of season, he comes through unscathed. Oh but then the next day in training he does his bloody cruciate ligament. 7-8 months out. Says he's thinking of quitting. Interested to see what happens in FM2016 if that happens.

PleasedToMichu Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Just had Florent Cuvelier return from an 11 month ACL injury in my Sheffield United save. That's about the worst i've had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavo01 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Not in FM, but I remember in Alex Ferguson's Player Manager on PS1 a player could be out injured for 18 months....with glandular fever. Longest injury I've seen in FM16 so far is the cruciate ligament, which tends to be for around 9-11 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew O Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 How do people ever get these types of injuries as the most i ever get is a few months with standard injuries. nothing major like a broken leg etc.....People must be not using the training as well as me lol (joking) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earnie is God! Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I have a wonderkid striker who I've been nurturing over the past couple of seasons, playing the odd game here and there. But then he got an ACL injury and is out for 8-9 months That will set him back quite a bit so I've got to hope his development isn't hampered too much.

enigmatic Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 CM97/98 Ibrahima Bakayoko 18 months (cruciate ligaments). IIRC he got a 12 month injury too Bakayoko was an CM97/98 legend, with several 20 attributes and a few random ones. In this save he had 20 for Injury Proneness...

nbthree3 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 My players don't usually get injured for massive periods of time, so in this year's edition the worst I've had is like 5/6 months. Can't remember what for, but about 6 months was the longest I've had in FM16. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamyKaze Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Got another 7 to 8 months injury. Andre Silva , my best striker with a 1+ goal to match ratio. With a strained knee injury. Think that's how it's called in English. Had to go and spend some cash on Berahino Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySummers Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I wish I could remember exactly, but I'm sure I had a player either out for 18 months or retire permanently due to a spinal injury in a long-ago version of the game. I think it must have been around 2003-4 as the player was Croatian goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa for Shakhtar Donetsk. If I remember correctly he was erroneously listed as a left winger in this particular game, even though he was a keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kashifsakhan Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 On Fm11 I think, I was managing Juventus, and had 11 of my first team squad members out injured at one point. The worst of which was having Del Piero out for 6 months with knee problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
