My team was one of the best in the league but one of my players got injured for 1 week. we lost al our games during that week. also after he is healthy again we still lose. we lose to teams that are in last place. why is my team is a long losing streak when everything is the same as before he was injured

Couple of reasons that i see...

1st-The players on your team have terrible game shape! If you look at the last few games that you have lost you can see where your team is getting killed in the 2nd half. They're just flat out running out of gas. Playing FCP doesnt help at all either because your team has to work that much more hard.

2nd-On top of your lousy game shape, it looks like in some of your previous wins you played "Crunch Time" attitude. If your enthusiasm drops below 5 you will see drastic, and i emphasize drastic, effects to how your team plays.

If i were you i would buy a couple of bums off of the tl and use them in your scrimmage games so that your starters arent playing 3 full games a week. Typically your Game Shape sees the best results when your players are getting between 50-70 minutes a week.

Hope this helps.

I agee its because your game shape is shocking. You should be able to manage minutes so u can get your players at around strong game shape, inept is just too low. As suggested between 50-70 minutes is what u need.

I agree with everyone else but would add that you may also want to try to plan for the future. You have nine players and if you actually sell the one guy you have up on the TL you will have only 4 players under the age of 30. Who are you training? Even if you are just trying to improve by buying good players, how are you going to maintain the income needed to buy more good players (or even to pay salaries since cash flow is a problem in the bottom divisions).

- Take it easy for awhile until you at least get back up to five (I would consider TIEing it and just maintaining an enthusiasm around 9) starting immediately.
- Buy some really cheap American players to try to help you manage minutes and to increase your number of domestic players to try to get some more merchandising cash.
- Buy some cheap players to train, even if you just plan on selling them asap.

I think your team is a pretty good example of not being able to buy a championship.
