I do not recall seeing anyone else post this information, but please ignore this if it has been written elsewhere.
I am still testing this, but I believe I have figured out how to determine exactly how long a player will be injured. It's actually quite simple, and I am a little disappointed in myself that I did not notice it before.
#1. Look at the player's assessed value directly before the injury.
#2. Look at the player's assessed value the day after the injury.
#3. Log in each day and check the player's assessed value. You will see it gradually rise, and at a steady rate. Figure out how many days it will take the player to reach their old assessed value. That is how long they will be injured.
I think this works alot better for injuries sustained in league matches, because you have four days before training results (and subsequent changes in assessed value) are calculated. For wednesday matches, training results occur the next day, but you should still be able to estimate within a couple of days when a player will be fully recovered.
I am currently testing this system with Chuck Scales, my starting central defender. He was injured (bruised) on Sunday.
#1. Assessed value prior to match: $217,000.
#2. Assessed value on Monday: $199,000.
#3. Assessed value on Tuesday: $202,000.
Chuck is regaining assessed value at $3,000 per day (I hired 1 doctor). If this system works, then he should be fully recovered on Sunday (good timing). We'll see how this works.
If anyone has players with more long-term injuries (2 weeks or more) and has the necessary data, I'd like to ask that you test out this system as well, and see how it works.
Comments and questions are welcome, of course.
