i wonder if its a by product of how we recruit

do the players we've recruited have injury histroy that we arent giving enough weight to based on signing players on data for example. Are we concentrating too much on getting players who hit the data for being undervalued (eg. goal chances greater than average for no. of goals scored suggesting a player is goingto be better than their goals show.) But glossing over if theyve been injured a lot.

Dunno just thinking out loud and think there must be something causing us to have a whole squad out injured and nearly all signed on the new recruitment system
