I always feel like I have bad luck with injuries on FPL. I want to know if my luck really isn't good.

List every player you have had in your squad who got injured while you owned them. Longest list wins. Do not include any players who were injured when you bought them Gary Neville for example. That's just silly. You can only include players who had injuries that stopped them from playing a premiership match. It still counts if you kept the player or sold them due to the injury.

Here is my list. Eight in total. Can you do better?

Rooney
Johnson
Drogba
Brown
Van Persie
Lampard
Niemi
Baines

Niemi
Van Persie
Hreidarsson
Evra
Essien
A Cole
Finnan (or was he Rafatated?)
Yobo? (missed GW3, not sure why)
Arteta? (missed GW7 - must have been injured. I transferred him out for Fab in GW7, so that still counts?)

6 definites and 3 not sures

Rooney
Duberry
Lampard
Van Persie
Arbeloa
Vidic
Evra
Baines
Arteta (?)

Occupants of my Darren Anderton Treatment Room -

Howard
Arteta
Rooney
Berbatov
Forssell
Niemi
Drogba
Gerrard
Lampard
RVP
Shorey
Anelka
Noble

13

Is there an easy way to work this out?

I know what RamR means - I'm having to go off memory here.

RVP
Sibierski

That's all I can see from the GW lineups I had.
A paltry 2

I agree, I have just looked back at my teams in GW1 to 12 and it doesn't show who was injured. From memory I know I have owned these players but not sure if those that were shipped out was because of injury or just bad performance?

Niemi (still got him)
Cech (injured yesterday)
Rosenoir
Boyce
Viduka
Berbatov
Hunt
Carew
Bianchi
RVP
Baines
Yobo
Schaner (not sure about this one)

Hreidarsson
Niemi
Johnson (MC)
Anelka
Lampard
RVP
Giggs
Edwards
Carvalho
Yobo
Ashton
Arteta
Sibierski
Brown
Arbeloa
15

yobo
carvalho
forsell
lampard
arteta
baines
van persie
essien
terry
evra
Hreidarsson
cech?????

12

Rooney
Niemi
Lauren
Forssell
Owen
Richards
Arteta
Lampard
Van Persie
Berbatov

Total: 10

Finnan does not count as he was rotated not injured.

Cech is injured but the rules clearly state he has to have missed a game, which he hasn't, so no Cech.

Scharner has not been injured this season.

I don't recall Yobo or Arteta being injured, but I have not paid much attension to them so I am happy to accept they were.

I can vouch that both Yobo and Arteta missed games through injury.

Edit: I do have a vague memory that Finnan was indeed injured for a game, around about the same time he was on International duty....

Howard
Niemi
Terry
Evra
Richards
Parker
Lampard
Edwards
RVP
AJ
Earnshaw
Torres
Forssell

Total: 13

I had Forsell as well, so my new list is:

Duberry
Lampard
Van Persie
Arbeloa
Vidic
Evra
Baines
Arteta
Forssell (removed - wasn't injured when in my team)

Let me know if I'm not permitted to add to my original list.

Edit:
Forssell wasn't injured when he was in my team so back to 8

Berbatov
Baines
Anelka
Arteta

I had Forssell, but i think i sold him before he was injured, when he was just occupying the bench. I also have had Finnan from the start, so if he counts, add him in. Not that it'll make a difference, I won't be winning any points from that short a list, unless we were going for golf scores. You would think that with such few injuries compared to the rest of you that i would be doing better!!

EDIT - forgot about Arteta

After careful inspection, I've found:

Niemi
Richardson
Drogba
Bellamy
Arteta
Essien
Evra
Hreidarsson

which makes 8. I had the likes of Howard, RVP, AJ, Berbatov, etc at various points, but they weren't injured while in my team. In particular, RVP was "only" rested in GW7.

I actually thought I was doing ok in terms of injuries this season, but 8 isn't too good, is it?

IMHO, this isn't too bad. I'd say the Curse has eased off a bit to be honest. I mean Jonathan had 15!

Maybe you are spreading it out around the Muvvas. Very kind of you!

I know! 15 - not good, eh? Makes you wonder how I am managing to stay at the business end of all my leagues....? Still, I could be heading for some much needed (and long time coming) pointless points!

OK, I allowed Finnan then.

Looks like I can't blame injures then. Maybe I should make more double transfers. Anyway, back to pointlessness congratulations to Jonathan, I think.

I'm going to be pedantic here and dispute Dalythgoe's claim of AJ - he had him up to GW5 and AJ only started missing matches from GW8 onwards.

Come on!!!

Is this the start of a big winning weekend for The Doughboys? I have a feeling not! I think it illustrates just how good I am at this game to work my way around injury crisis after injury crisis. Feel free to congratulate me on my technical superiority! Either that, or I have been bloody lucky with my captaincy choices! (Apart from Giggs on his injury weekend )

Oops , well for my defence: he was carp anyway

Neimi
Howard
Calvalho
Forssell
Arteta
Vidic
Ashton

(also had RvP and Carragher but transferred them out).

How do you count Johnson Jonathan? He's played every game so far - we're not counting this week I assume. If he counts I'll add him to my list too.

Ah, good spot. dalythgoe goes down to 3rd and loses a point.

I was thinking that was OK because he went off injured. But then I re-read my rules and he has not missed a Premiership match.

Jonathan still wins

Pretty sure Johnson missed a game to rest his groin but it may have been an international. Still win though
