Doctors do only help a “little little” bit anyway right? I’ve always viewed it as kind of an extra cash bleed, like limiting the cash teams can carry, or penalizing teams for saving too much cash. It’s one of those things that help and give you a little piece of mind if you are training for U21, and need every training minute that you can get for those $3 million dollar 18 year old you purchased, or were lucky enough to draft. I’ve noticed that on a 7 day injury, the low level docs may cut it by a day, and higher level docs may cut it by 2. On 14 day injuries, you may get double that, or you may not see much change at all. Other times they come into play is high divisions, where you really hate to lose a player for 14 or 21 days, as you are paying $150-300k a week for one player. It handcuffs you on salary, and you feel as though you are wasting tons of cash by paying out $900k in 3 weeks, and the guy doesn’t play a single game. You can list him, but guys injured for 2-3 weeks don’t bring you half as much as healthy guys will, because someone else doesn’t want to pay those wasted salary weeks either. All in all, I still think it is mostly a cash bleed, that can help a little, or a lot, if you can afford it, and are really comfy financially. Also, if you have the money you need to spend anyway, there are worse ways to do so. It’s better than guys like me, who buy a player for a million on impulse, then sell him a couple of weeks later for $800k losses. You think I would learn after a million seasons of playing. 🤣
