Injuries have really burst onto the scene in FM22. I have covered where injuries come from in a past video, but with the incredible consistency of major injuries in the new Football Manager now feels like the right time to go over every way to prevent injuries in FM. Like the youth intake video where it’s 51% luck, you will still get injuries in FM even if you follow everything in this guide to the letter, I ask that you take out your anger at a nearby pillow, or perhaps a nice scream into the night air.
Those are typically what I do on stream so I figured they would help you cope with the untimely demise of one of your players. But, those little muscle injuries from training in FM, or the tracking of wear and tear amongst the squad can help you keep a balanced, fit team together through tough stretches of the season, and prevent the preventable catastrophic injuries from derailing your promising save.
Much Love,
FM Senpai

I love injury crises. They make me tons of money. I use injuries as an opportunity to play youth players. They play for a while and if they play well, I get that gorgeous green WNT note on them, telling me that someone like PSG or Man City or Man UFC is interested in signing them. And often, the kid is dumb enough to want to go so I structure the best possible deal and sell 'em. They then spend the rest of their contract in the U23 or B team at the "bigger club" and I go out and buy a bunch more youth players. That's been more lucrative for me than a knockout round Champions League run would've been. Roughly $206m in incoming transfer fees in just under 3 seasons (last month of the 3rd season).
Good one! I like to put in bench every game some young players with potential, and give minutes in game to him. In Pogon Sczeric (Poland), i have 1 young player in first XI, and Porto Wants him (Kacper Koslowski), and i have a winger who every game enters in the pitch in the bench and play the second time (Fornalkzic), and the 2 players are desenvolving much good. And to the next season a striker is coming back of loan and going to make te bench (Turski)
That's a good point
Yeah but then you are in a title fight with one of the worst teams in the league and you lose your best players and all your work is gone
You have to have the best youths ever cause the ones I have 4 seasons in are dead well because I jus got to the Portuguese tope division so hopefully I start getting better ones
While i sell the shit youth players, i never sell decent ones. I even structure the contracts to the point if hell breaks loose i can extend contract and deter interest for 6 months.
9am: Star striker signs new contract.
11am: Star striker out for 7-8 months with a damaged spine after training.
The problem for me isn't so much that players get injured, it's the balance between rotating players, happiness and injury. Because if you have busy schedule(I had 6 matches in 2 week once!), you pretty much have to rotate your entire squad. If you do that however, your important players will get angry that they don't get played enough after a while.
Thats the issue like 22 players are perfect for rotating, but the second u get sn injury ur fed if u got continental, league snd cups. And if u go above 22 u need kids who dont expect squad player
Yeah i feel the playing time system breaks a bit in the leagues with just a ton of matches. Like i can basically hire nobody as important or star player because even my regular starter come to me every now and then complaining about starting time. Like dude, your match load is heavy calm your ass for a second, will ya?!
@@baumstammbruno worst part is goalies. Like first choice keeper expects to play same as a star player. I cant even use my backup in cups without him complaining.
@@baumstammbruno but i usually just give 70% of my team squad player
@@bettmo7494 Yeah, much of my efforts is spent on always lowering the playing time whenever a player hits bad form. Oh you blundered some matches and are rated at 3 star current ability? Well guess you'll be a squaddie or impact sub from now on so you stop crying off my ear every few months.
Goalies thankfully i never found that difficult to do given how rarely they injure themselves plus they never tire out. I usually just have one goalie in the team and if he hits an injury, which rarely last longer than 2-3 matches and happens once a season if at all, i just call up an u19 goalie for that time and pray that no important matches are coming up. With goalies being as cheap a they are i rarely feel it's worth it to train up a young one unless they came out of my u19 team looking like the Donnarumma. I'd rather just spend a bit and then not have to worry about having to nurse a sub-par goalie for years to come.
I had a player out for 4 weeks due a fractured toe caused by kicking a ball during training. One of the unexplored areas it seems for FM youtubers is this area, does the physio role recover players from injury while the sport scientist role prevents them? How much difference does a 20 physio make over a 15 physio? If SI start to recognise the benefit of youtubers and twitchers, perhaps Zealand and others can get a bit more access to the devs on how it's intended to work.
Me having 2 starting XI's + a few bench players: "There's injuries in FM?"
I really dislike the slight color shift on the fitness heart. I think it's an ok idea but holy crap is it a terrible idea for colorblind people or poor vision. Even a slightly crappy monitor will screw with you being able to see that change, bouncing between my two monitors (one is vastly superior to the other) it can become almost impossible to tell the difference. It would be a better idea if their color gradient for it wasn't so minute in its changes.
You can select the fitness header on the top to sort by fitness to determine if one player has lower fitness than another, same with sharpness
Sorry to reply with brutal savagery but like video games are designed for fully able people. Game designers literally have to be able to assume that you can see and use vision correctly to design a game.
@@alexsmith6322 games have accessibility options. Shifting colours is easy to code and colourblindness is reletavely common. Hell, even FM lets you set some colours to how you want it (attribute banding for example). Including this feature for more areas will make no difference to you if you don't use but will make life easier for those who do
damn i really wish fm had a colour blind option, the new game is so dependant on colours and i cant even tell the difference
Yeah they really should, though in the case of the difference between the two greens it's just bad design as it's basically impossible to keep apart at a glance even with normal colour perception.
When I have a team with low match load, but have a squad size prepared for a high match load, I tend to put friendlies for a stretch 2 days after the official match. 1 to get more match sharpness and 2 so close after the previous match so that the assistant has to use the players who aren't tired, and 3 so that they're more ready to play by next week's match. I like having everyone match fit.
This is SO relevant for me!
I just got like 8 injuries in a week 😪, had to play my back up left winger at left back and a 5'8 cdm at centre back
Yeah, I had a similar problem with my last save on FM21 with Reading, where I had loads of left winger injuries and my starting left winger kept getting tired so I had to bring my backup left back on off the bench as a WTM, and he scored the match-winning goal on two separate occasions.
I use ‘Set pieces’ training to place a lighter load during congested matches. I have also noticed good feedback after/during matches from Ass man saying “blah blah set pieces has paid off” or “I think we should playfor set pieces as we are creating chances”. If you look at the bottom bar of each days training you can see how heavy it is. Tone it down or ramp it up depending on time of season/matches etc. Recovery is a great tool.
Ass man lmao
Bare far the best advert I’ve ever seen a TH-camr do 😂
the selection info view in your tactics / team selection screen will show match load on a light / medium / heavy scale, which is a great resource for checking on whose legs are about to explode if they play any more minutes and need to be rested. this data's also in the medical centre in a more detailed form! never have your coaches warning you a player needs a rest again!
Probably should have mentioned that playing extremely high intensity pressing all game every game also contributes greatly to injuries and match fitness.
Just wanted to take the chance to thank you, Zealand. Thank you for all these videos about random stuff in the game. Tips and tricks. You have made me a MUCH better FM player over the last two years or so. Small details like rotating the team, how to keep the team morale up, picking staff with determination, using the scouting to my advantage and stuff like that has made alot of difference in my saves over the last couple of years. This game is about more than game days and twerking the tactics, you have pointed that out and now it shows IRL on my screen. Especially in comparison with a few years back when my saves was alot more random. And for that, I thank you. :)
PS. love the pod with DrBenjy as well. It doesnt matter that those twenty good minutes often are 50 min long. :D
i respect the commitment to stubbing your toe for a video
That's true.
Also, in Training - Rest (automatic) section it's better for 3-5 columns to set Half - Half - Normal during the season.
Every time I win a match. I gave the players who started the game 1 day rest of training and let the subs and reserves have a match practise training so they do gain a little bit of match sharpness. The day after that I do 2 training sessions and 1 recovery.
Just starting a save on the american database and the shirt you are wering is one of the top candidates, what a coincidance
at 10:43 this has changed the dynamics of how i rest players. Finally someone showed me how to put everyone under rest, i was manually doing his for each player. THANK YOU lol
I love having so many injuries cus in my Palermo save I had a total of 4 subs on the bench with 2 16 year olds hot prospects starting and we still won so its fun
To be honest, I personally love the injury rates. It was too easy in previous FMs to just have the best players on the field the whole time and press, press, press. The rotation and extra attention required is definitely more realistic.
in a feyenoord save i consisently used 20 players with a total players used of 29. rotation is the wae
Thanks for this, I have a conveyor belt of injured inside forwards in my Leeds save that are constantly out every week.
Love the content Zealand. Just got fm22 and have started a Coruna save inspired by your ODC one.
your intros >>>>
Can we talk about the amount of red cards and penalties you get given against you when you play the "top" teams. I've had a red and penalty against me every time I've been to Anfield or Old Trafford even with stay on feet etc being picked.
Weirdly it's been the reverse, I've never had that happen but I drew Liverpool due to a red card and beat City with a penalty
@@logancosta3110 maybe my players just hate me!
@@Ecxoes I wonder if it's a confidence thing, maybe they get nervous against the big teams and make mistakes due to a lack of composure or concentration?
@@logancosta3110 I thought about that bit we are now a champions league club. Ah well, thought it might be an issue across other players. Might just be me :p
Weird, it might be a general thing, every chance I've got the weird team, considering we just got beat 4-0 to a awful relegation battler
How did you read my mind? This crisis has been in action since I started with my second division team in the Netherlands
Oh well, the most important part for players to stay healthy was cut. How do I need to pray to FM gods??? Do I need to sacrifice my striker?? Selling my prodigy?? Loaning out a moaning player? Or maybe firing a backup-keeper will be enough?
Now we'll never know...
I had a player kick off about playing time, he ruined the dynamics and turned people against me. He was annoyed he hadn’t been played reflective to his agreed playing time but he was 4 months into an 8 month injury 😂
I've been playing FM for years and didn't know about the friendly options for unfit players. This is why Z is the best!
Playing Sunderland. My main striker got injured and i was forced to play my young talent. Now 2 seasons in we are promoted and he's scored 25+ goals a season 🤣 everything happens for a reason
I never have a problem with injuries as I always over rest and recovery the fuck out of my players I still watched this to see if he knows something I don't. Keep up this type of content. Also i have regularly been able to get "injury prone" players play 30 games or more seasons by over resting them specifically. Like just don't train them lmaoo
Just go to add coloumn in the tactics screen, then injuries and fitness and click injury risk.
Your staff will literally tell you if a player's workload is such they are likely to get injuries if played.
I am surprised I see so many people posting downloadable "views" on steam workshop that don't include this.
Weird Manscaped would sponsor the man who is never not hairy
Very interesting stuff at always but something else catched my eye. At 8:32 you can see a very interesting training program. I'm interested hearing more about it, maybe a new training video ? Cheers from Romania🇷🇴
I hate the triple whammy, where you get INJURIES + SUSPENSIONS + players on INTERNATIONAL DUTY at the same time, because that could cause you to drop crucial points.
mostly because all of it adding up causes many players to be unavailable for a match
Great video Zealand. It's nice to know that I am already doing what you have suggested :)
To prevent injuries I got 15 players that can sub the whole team. When I got a bussy schedule, I replace the whole team with those players. That is for like for every midweek playing CL or cup-competitions. The game overrates players that plays like 1 time every week. They perform way better then the world class player that plays every week 2/3 times.
Have they fixed the "Arrange a friendly if no match during the week"? For many versions of FM that didn't seem to work for me. My staff would ignore it and sometmes I'd be so focused on what the first team was doing that I wasn't paying attention to the reserve/U23/U18 teams very much. But then when I would look at those guys they'd all be lacking match sharpness because they hadn't played and the staff wasn't arranging friendlies even though I told them to. This was especially annoying if one of those teams wasn't enrolled in a league. So they'd have no schedule and either I'd have to loan all the players out, or I'd have to manually arrange friendlies for that team every week. Of course if I loaned everyone out, I didn't have access to them in most cases if I needed them, and I'd get accused of "hoarding" players by the media.
You forgot at least one. Pre season endurance training.
This couldn’t have come at a better time, currently have 7 first team players out injured. And by first team I mean first XI. We’re fucked.
hi big fan from greece
But what if something REALLY unfortunate happens, like Christien Erikssen with his heart condition that is career threatening, even when he is otherwise match fit?
Man United immediately offer them a contract
Not watched the video yet but I've been so lucky with injuries so far. In my 5 years in charge we've only had two long term injuries. Mainly down to good fitness coaches, one physical session every 2 weeks and plenty of rest/recovery sessions in between.
I got non heavy injury in my 6 seasons of my beta save. But i had a lot of unhappy players because of rotation.
Same i rotate quite a bit. Ive got around this alot by informing them that they wont play the next game. The only time ive seen somebody get annoyed at me when i said to rest them was when mbappe came to me about game time. So it very rarely makes them very unhappy. But also making the agreed game time as low as possible that their happy with
Actually you can make it so if a player is at really low stamina then he will train with half intensity normal intensity or no pitch/gym work and this has helped me lower the amounts of injury
Watching this video makes *my* heart full, so
Recovery coupled with game analysis a day before the game and after the game works for me
Oh god you have FIFA 13 legend, Jerry Mbakogu
If you're a top team. One thing Zealand didn't mention that's helpful. Have a bunch of decent young players, loan them out for 1st half of season (get back in Jan). Rotate them into your own team 2nd half of the season.
Stop gegen pressing if your not playing in Germany worked for me
My PSV captain van Ginkel says hello from his 8 month vacation that had started in October, during my eventually unbeaten Eredivisie season, courtesy of knee ligaments, now however i can sell his backup for 25 million after playing for the entirety of the season :)
i had a team on the field, pretty much with all low match load and low injury rate. but ofc i get FM’d and 3 of my starting players are out with 3-6 week injuries
not to mention also already had 5 players on the injury list
Another point to add is don't buy injury prone players. Get a good scout & get a full report on the player & then buy him
Auto intensity based on physiotherapist recomendation is like this: Double -> Half -> Half -> Zero -> Zero
I tought i could drop this gem fact since it greatly reduces injury and does not impact player development, since if your players are not full condition is because they played.
To players in your main squad that are u20 and not starters just lock them at double intensity.
This strategy has worked for me since FM changed its training to its current design, and never had injury avalanches.
Where exactly is that setting? I did that before for my premier league team but can't find it for my Swedish league team. Though it had something to do with my sports scientist level or infrastructure
You, sir are a Legend. I am in my 4th Season, austrian League. Just got promoted, after a dominant 3rd Season with 68 points and finally no bad luck with injuries(Season 2 was abysmal, had so many badly timed injuries that i lost the promotion race due to that, but still ended up in 4th with 1 point behind 3rd. Now new Season, everything went well until the first practice game. Bam 3 of my defenders "injured"(go f yourself FM for that) with 4-12 weeks time even though EVERYTHING was on light workload...Insta exited and went on a rage induced fever dream. Saw this answer. Tried it out and so far no stupid over the top Injuries, except the odd one in between but not for months. If i lose one more of my defenders due to injury, imma throw something i can live with being destroyed, maybe crumble some paper to show it, who is boss, anything for my sanity.
I play with Real Madrid and I had a champions league final coming up in 10 days. Sim to 3 days and Ramos is injured, then modric, then modrics back up valverde, then benzema. (FM20)
HOW DID YOU KNOW?!?!?!! Literally yesterday i was like WHY IS EVERYONE ON MY TEAM INJURED. Thank you Zealand, my lord and saviour
It's a shame Football Manager doesnt have an API/CLI that lets us write our own script to manage training.
Zealand, could you please help me with this matter ? I've found no information on Internet about that :
In my first season with St Pauli in Bundesliga 2, I have no matches scheduled for my second team St Pauli II. This is probably cuz they're in a low division that is not included in my FM save, despite I've put every division for Germany.
Problem is I can NOT put them to play friendlies because I do not have any power of decision on that, even when I try to change it in the responsabilities section. After looking into details, I've found out that this is probably because they are an affiliated club and not directly under my management.
Is there something I can do to solve this ?
Maybe in my second season, if I do good, they'll allow me to control the affiliated club or something by renegotiating the deal with them ? Or am I stuck with no second team matches forever ?
I am confused...
Thanks :)
I have such a good, Welsh left back (newgen) he's injury prone, but I managed to keep him injury free (for the most part, some 1-3 day tight hamstring injuries aside) from 16 to 21
My vice captain has damaged their cruciate ligaments 3 times in 5 seasons (fm19) he's honestly one of the best in the world just incredibly injury prone.
Thought this was just me!!!
I seem to be getting a player injured every other match at the moment....
I knew this was coming eventually
"And for that reason you have to hit number 2"
I didn't forsee this and played 3 at the back after all 3 of my semi competent left backs got injured
The hardest scenario in FM is starting as unemployed in China. You’ll get a crap team with some horrible financial issues. When your team has financial issues and can’t sign anyone then it’s a wrap for that team. Gotta go somewhere else.
Try managing in the 9th tier of English football. You won’t know true patience until you do that.
@@RB-NZ2 how’d this work out for you? What was your progression like?
@@kanyeeastlolz I started off with Hinckley who play in the midland premier division. After two successive promotions I managed to blag a job with Maidstone United in the national league south. 1 promotion later and I somehow blagged a job with reading who were in league one and now we’re in the premier league. All in all it took me 7 seasons to get to the prem but if I’d have stayed at the club I started it would have taken 10+
@@RB-NZ2 yea, that sounds about right. The key to break this game is with loans both in and out, national teams, your youth prospects, and smart contracting. My fav team was the LA galaxy (after moving up from China), got that up to 100m in assets, eventually moved on to Germany the rest bull team. That team literally started me off with 1 bil in assets. We all like the UK teams, for me Everton, Chelsea, Norwich, and wolves, but don’t sleep on the German leagues
@@kanyeeastlolz RB Leipzig are the richest club in my game and the US teams have a lot of money too. I’m just waiting for a tycoon takeover so I can have some fun with it.
how much impact do physios and sports scientists have? lets say you’re a small club, will asking the board to have 2 physios instead of one make a world of difference?
In my first Season with 1860 munich all my 4 left backs got injured within a week. It's horrible
I still don't see the colour difference, but tbf I am slightly colourblind. Terrible game design though.
How do you get colour coding on the injuryrisk pane ??? Shoved at 10:40 in the video.
I wish you could tailor individual training settings conditional on the condition similar to the way you can for the team.
Yes
Any chance you could alter the heart colours on the Zealand skin? Those greens are way too similar for most eyes, especially on crappy monitors.
Love the videos. An idea for one is match morale. Does it affect how the team plays? So you have read, orange, purple, yellow & green (I think) when you do shouts and and they change from red to green and vise versa. Does this actually affect your team? Unsure how you would test this as games are RnG..
Where have you been man !?!?! I need my fix.
The Bahamas on holiday
Zealand complaining about a 3 week stretch with 2 matches a week, and i'm here sitting in ireland with their league, 4 cups (where you better not draw because some cups have rematch rules), the opening season trophy, then end of the year 2 match trophy against the northern irish champion and then champions league stuff in my case. Where 2 matches a week is the norm and then it goes up to stretches of up to 2-3 weeks with a match every other day.
There should be an option where you can convince the board that you can stop participating in some cups. Bloody hell the 15k for winning some pissy EA cup isn't exactly going to make waves for us here with a multi-million payroll. The loss of one of our top players for a week is probably costing us more in a loss of wages than we win through most of these cup competitions.
Upside to it, at least it's easy to give all those youngsters a good amount of playing time, so that's nice.
and don't forget that you can follow Z live on Twitch! =P
Hi how do you find the injury table for you're league I can't seem to find it but I know it's a thing I've seen it before I'm on xbox
Simple way: I just click Rest one week for everyone with High injury risk. Works.
People being honest and not using the editor to get players non injured again . mmmmmmm
Make a training guide 4Weird
I hate that it counts toward having played a game no matter how long they'd been on the pitch. Subbed on in the 88'? Counted as if he'd played the whole game. Why not have a minutes played system? Like this I sometimes cannot bring subs on in certain games if my schedule is busy or risk having my whole team being highly susceptible to injury just because someone played 10 min in a match.
I try my best to avoid injuries and am mostly at around 50-60% less injuries than expected during a season but this sometimes makes me mad.
How do you simulate a season? Or part of a season?
And if you still have an issue with injuries... then just remember that FM has injuries at 60-80% occurrence compared to real life.
Wait what? No Konosuba with the Explosion bit? I am dissapoint.
Please solve my attachment to my fm18 Blackburn save so I can move on
How are you able to see the original face of the players in FM...I only get a black shape of a face
How do I deal with recurring injuries?
Guessing this was recorded before the results of the Virginia game? 😄 What was the name of that company that sponsored (sponsors?) Z that you buy a randomized kit from?
I havent noticed any major injuries in my save even after 3 seasons - you just need squad depth really
No one is safe from the injury roulette, your time will come
Hey Z, could you please give us an update on NewGan and that awesome USA database from 21. Just a post on FMbase is fine. I know these things can take time but just like to know where they are at or if they are being worked upon (could be that everyone involved is just enjoying the game atm :p). Thanks for reading the comments!
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF HAVING HALF MY TEAM IS OUT FOR 2 MONTHS. AHAHHHHDKUHDKHDKHFUHKHFIUHI. Thank you for this vid, should hopefully help.
These colors on CON should be changed :x
The only reason why i buy ingame editor....
Does this work with mobile FM aswell? I'm playing with AC Milan and ALWAYS have injuries throughout the season :(
Injuries. I remember all LW no uninjured players were left once. All 5 players who could play gone. Had to rely on a 15 year old kid who was a overacchiever luckily🤣🤣
Has zealand revealed his graphic packs this year?
Fucking Seth MacFarlane brother here!
To be honest I am sick of getting fucked over by the ai and end of season fixtures congestion. Grand if your in the bigger leagues, you may be able to manage it and plan ahead. But in the smaller leagues the budget doesn't stretch that far. Seriously it is the tipping point for buying this version or the next fm. The ai should at least give you a 2 day break from games. The ai must be able to reschedule games better or allow you to manager to request change of dates etc. I be more calm about it if it was taken into your fans match performance and monthly board review "ah well we disappointed you lost but realise you had a lot of games. Seriously I sick of being fucked over for being successful in the game
I gotta say, I'm so glad I'm no longer a minority. Seems every FM streamer and Football fan TV streamer is now shaving the nethers!
the most effective way to avoid injuries that I found is praying to the gods to not happen 😂
Fuck me in the first 1-2 months I have 12 injured players and all of them are starting or like a key sub
