FM27 Reduced Injuries is a small editor file that halves injuries and illnesses in Football Manager 27. It comes from mariuszxmaras, who also made European Regulations. However, it does not remove injuries from the game: it just makes them less frequent. So you still have to manage your squad, without half the team sitting in the medical room by November.
What FM27 Reduced Injuries does
FM27 has a table with every injury and illness, each with its own chance of happening. The author took that table and cut the chance on every line in half. As a result, you get roughly 50% fewer injuries and illnesses across a season.
The clever part is what stays the same. Because every line drops by the same amount, the split between match and training injuries does not change. The gap between a minor knock and a serious tear stays too. In other words, long-term injuries are still rare and small ones are still the most common.

Fewer injuries or none at all?
Don’t mix this file up with the optional «Lesões Removidas» (removed injuries) file that comes with Ibarra’s Novas Ligas Activadas. That optional file clears the injuries players already carry when the game starts. Reduced Injuries, on the other hand, works across the whole career, but it switches nothing off. So if you want realism with a bit less bad luck, this is the more balanced choice.
Who it is for
It suits anyone who feels FM27 overdoes injuries, especially with thin squads or packed fixture lists. It also helps in the lower leagues, where losing two starters can wreck a whole season. It pairs well with European Regulations FM27, by the same author, which gives you more substitutes and bigger squads. And if you like to track injury risk match by match, julianomatt’s tactics view shows fatigue and that risk on the tactics screen.

Things to watch
Like every editor file, it only works in a new career. In other words, a save you already have keeps the normal injury rate. Also, don’t combine it with another file that changes injuries, because one can cancel the other.
Keep in mind that fewer injuries make the game a little easier, especially for clubs with small squads. To uninstall, just delete the file from the editor data folder; however, careers you already started with it stay as they are.
