Anyone know how to prevent injuries? I've got a game upcoming and cannot select anyone for the bench due to injuries. I've had one game, were I've had 4 players go off injured, so finished the game with 10 men.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I sabotaged my own title run in 
Me (Athletic) and Barca have been pretty much unbeaten in the league since I took over and they were 4 points ahead with 2 games to go. I got to the Spanish cup final vs Atletico who were playing Barca 3 days later. We went into extra time and then when those Atletico twats played Barca they got thumped 6-0 at home. Saw the team and all of them had next to no fitness.
I played Zenit in a full 120 mins 3 days before the final where we had another 120 mins. But I still won my league game. Bunch of pricks.
All of Barca's last 5 or so games teams seem to have rolled over. Real Sociedad (biggest rivals) got 5 knocked past them the game before. Add to that the endless list of injuries to my key front men. I'd be calling shenanigans if this was real.

Don't train too heavily. I never go above medium workload for any players (unless they're crap and I feel like punishing them with a lot of training).
Hire more/better physios and make sure you've got two great fitness coaches, they're not hard to find. If they have 16+ in determination, motivating, level of discipline and fitness training, they'll have 4,5 or 5 star training. For physios, you should look at physioteraphy (obviously),motivating, determination and man management (although not as important as the other stats).
The season isn't going too well so far. I am sitting in 14th place after 18 games so nothing lost but somehow I can't buy a goal atm and opposition teams just waltz through my defense with 2 vs. 5 scoring for fun from every ankle possible and impossible. Need to hit a good patch of games soon or I'll be finding myself in the relegation zone sooner then later.

Physios do nothing but determine how long a player will be out for.
What? I highly doubt it... Do you know this for certain?
I'm having a great second part of the season and with 6 games to go I'm all of a sudden in reach of promotion places. Would be crazy if I would actually make the promotion with this squad.
Wow so last game of the season I had to play the third placed team with me sitting in 4th place and I won 3-2. Which means I finished third and now have a chance to get promotion through play-offs. Well let's see how this goes. My opponents will be Cologne.
Well that could have went better. Lost my last striker in the first leg and two other important first team members and lost the game 0-2 despite dominating from start to finish. Now I have to play the second leg without a striker and overturn a 2 goal deficit. Odds firmly stacked against me here.
Edit:
Well as predicted no turn around in the second leg with so many first team players missing and trying to use a CB as a target man. I lost the playoffs in the first round though I feel as I was the better team there and should have won.
But maybe it's a good thing I didn't get promoted with this squad, this way I have another season to build a squad that may have a chance to survive in the Bundesliga.

Oh nice, I used to study in Darmstadt some years ago!!!
Are you still there?
I've scored 110 Goals, went a season unbeaten, BPITW award, BYPITW award, Septuple, Manager of the year, and everything, but for the love of god I never had the best goal of the season... even for the month is too much to ask
What if I finish third and reach CL final, will they sack me? That will still be significant overachieving for Tottenham!
Ah nice, what did you study? I moved back to Darmstadt about a year a go when I started working in Frankfurt last summer.
How do you deal with the lack of hunger in this game after a certain time at the club? I've been at Tottenham for only a year yet I struggle to motivate myself to go into the second season with them because I've won everything in my first. I haven't even played a single Champions League game but cannot bring myself to get into my second season properly, despite having a brilliant side cut out exactly to my needs. If I had the choice to leave them now and go to another place, Arsenal or something, I know I would.
I took a team from the conference to the premiership, it's been a lot of fun, frustrating a lot of the time but fun for the most part. Adapting tactics, upgrading the team to overwhelm the league and progress on, the released player lists have been my best friend for years. I finish 4th, win the FA cup and of course qualify for the CL and it's like a punch in the dick.
United's manager quits and they offer me job, it's 2022 so it's not like it'd be as boring to play as United as it normally is.
I stay strong and say no, board rejects my request to increase wage budget or tranfsfer budget to boot, so thanks for nothing I guess.
United, City, Liverpool, Arsenal, PSG and Bayern carve my team up like a Christmas turkey, my entire back four get 30million+ bids and I offer them everything, they flat out won't stay as all of sudden they want to win the CL and don't think I can do it.
Which fair play, I probably won't but neither will Arsenal they finished 10th.
I managed to keep hold of my best player, despite the £60 million bids cause he's my captain and he loves the club or whatever, but I basically have to sign 10 players, so okay I've got good warchest to spend now ~£150million, so I try to buy one player and their club ask for 111million...
I talk them down to 20million plus a bucket load of addons, player is not interested in joining a club like yours, won't even talk to me. He's 17 years old and plays for West Brom for gods sake.

I started a game with PSV over the weekend too, mainly for Depay, it's a pretty ridiculous league - even though I can hardly sign any players and rely on loans, which is good as I was keen to focus on youth with PSV and signing Dutch players on permanent deals. But I'm finding it far too easy still, unbeaten in the league & cup and only dropped two points away to Ajax. Depay has 50 goals in all competitions already playing as a AML IF and I still have about 6 games to go. The challenge for next season will be to improve the squad for the Champions League whilst losing the likes of Rekik, Saul & Herivas who are all on loan, tying down about 6 players who have all demanded new contracts due to larger clubs being interested and probably using up most of my wage budget... Should be funAnyone getting these type of ridiculous results in the Dutch league? Vietto and Depay are scoring hat tricks on a regular basis for me and it's sort of getting boring.
I was at the TUD in NKT as an exchange student. It was basically IT and wireless communications. I used to go to Frankfurt for the Eintracht games sometimes when we wanted to watch some football.
Which area do you work now in Frankfurt?
Sachsenhausen. It's a nice area but finding a flat there is almost impossible and when I found a flat in Darmstadt I decided to go back home for a few years and see how long I will be working in Frankfurt before I make the effort again of finding something to live in that city.
I either start a game with a team that is really hard to promote atm or I try to set my self a goal of beating SAF's record or something like that.
Ended up finishing second and winning the FA cup. I've sold Young for 7.5 million, Herrera for 2 million, Powell for 6 million and released a bunch of kids, bringing in 40 million. I also bought Bender for 30 million (15 over 48 months) and he'll slot in nicely as my HB meaning Romero can push for Fellainis spot in midfield. Strootman in a possible signing though, and I need some over in the fullback positions.
Alright brought in 6 fairly promising players for free. No major upgrades as it's not in my wage budget to go for some of the better players but I fixed some of the weaknesses in my team and I'm confident that this year a promotion is possible.
I think I will try Valencia now before moving on to a lower league team. I have the whole April to play Football Manager at work after I've handed in my resignation and hardly have anything to do, I think I still have 2-3 good careers ahead of me. After Valencia it'll be a Segunda Division team I think.I either start a game with a team that is really hard to promote atm or I try to set my self a goal of beating SAF's record or something like that.
Started a game with Stoke.
First window turned off so no ins/outs.
First game Villa (Away) smashed them 5-2, Sunderland (Home) followed with a 5-0 drubbing of the black cats

I'm losing 1-0 away to West Ham and after I've made 2 subs by striker gets injured. Had Crouch on the bench so went to bring him on but subbed Palacios on by mistake and it was too late, I'd already clicked confirm before I'd realised.
Palacios scored twice in the last 15 minutes and I won 2-1

My boy Ramirez is on fire at the moment... The Mexican Ronaldo?

OK, so I started with Valencia, brought Kranevitter to bolster defensive midfield (Fuego is old and not very good) and needed a winger so bought two from Ajax - Kishna and Fischer. Defence is very strong in centre with Mustafi and Otamendi, I like Gaya on the left so far but I'd like someone to replace Barragan on the right. Midfielders are great - Dani Parejo, Andre Gomes and Enzo Perez are all great so I won't change much there for years. Negredo is only a loan and Alcacer has been poor so far for me but I think he'll come around.
Won my first three games of season, then predictably got beaten by Barcelona at Camp Nou - not really the sort of game I'll expect to get points in but I still gave a good account of my team there, I want to win smaller games and make top 4 in my first season to get some European joy. I think I'll try to get 2-3 players next season, two full backs and a striker.

So I got 5 games in the new 15/16 season in yesterday and won all 5 of them fairly comfortably. Despite my main striker picking up a 3 month injury after coming back from a 5 month injury. But if no major injury crisis is going to decimate my squad I'm quite positive I can manage promotion this season.
Feck, I'm leading the league after 7 games by 5 points. I don't want to win the league.
SI Games are teasing something on Twitter/Facebook, they're unveiling it at midday (any time now) but the FM account is also advertising it, wonder if it's FM related.
If its the same as the games before, mid to high level training as standard, with a day off minimum after each match.
If its a long break (IE 2 weeks between matches) you give them two days off after the game and a two days off before the next one. Restrict your best players to 45 minutes only for international friendlies and withdraw them if the coaches ignore your instructions.
If you notice, the game will do certain things regularly that you cant avoid however:
Your strikers/defenders will ALL be injured at the same time at one point in the season.
Your best player will ALWAYS be injured on international duty.
One of your players will ALWAYS pick up a 3 month ham string injury every season.
Every player you sell will have a blinder against you the first time you face them.
The injuries above are not due to the the training style, they would happen no matter what training style I used.
Looks like they've released a full version of FMC on tablets 
Looks identical to the PC version!

I've found this in the recent versions of FM too. I finally got lucky and won goal of the season about 2 weeks ago after Pogba ran onto the end of a good team passing move and tonked one into the far corner from about 30 yards.
If you want to do it for the achievement then the fastest way is probably to pick a team that is going to dominate most games, buy players with good long shots and tell them to shoot often. It'll come eventually!
That sounds fantastic. I assume it'd work perfectly well on a Nexus 9 and new iPad Air? I love FM on my Nexus 6, its big screen is perfect for it really and it's simplified enough to make for a comfortable play at work which is what I've been doing for a good few months.Looks like they've released a full version of FMC on tablets

Incredible the way my Valencia play. I had to dig up a save from 2 games in because the old one was corrupt due to my phone checking out randomly which meant I lost my win against Sevilla but also defeat at Barcelona - this time I won both, as well as 11 following games. I'm currently sitting top of the league with 15 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats, 31 goals scored and only 5 conceded. Madrid are trailing by 19 points albeit with 3 games in hand. I still don't think I'm going to win the league, Real Madrid will probably winall their remaining games but Champions League is as good as sorted. I'd probably have to lose all my remaining games to drop it now.
All that with virtually unchanged team, Kranevitter is the only signing that's had a significant impact. I'll have two main saves in both of which I have an upper mid-table sides overachieving massively (Tottenham and Valencia).Defensively this Valencia team has been something else. I hardly concede, 5 goals in 15 games and not a single goal conceded in the cup so far. The lack of European distraction helps my case too. I grind out lots of 1-0s but that's good for a team like this. I'm bound to have a crisis sooner than later but right now I can afford to lose 4 games in a row and stay top.

Ah shit totally forgot it's probably again not going to be available on the German store because fecking EA still has the license to player and league names in Germany despite the fact that they aren't even releasing a game anymore.
I have 2 sets of teams, rotate them every match. Full rotation normally bar the keeper.
Training sets to heavy , rest after the match. Didn't have any problems with injury. Oh, try not to play a player with less than 90% condition. Off course it's hard to do at the first season without adequate backup, but after a while you'll be set in no time.
Take a breather on easy matches you've comfortably lead helps too
