4. Misreported Injuries
Professional sports players are always at the mercy of the doctors and physios, due to the intense level at physical competition, especially at a professional level around the world. This also means that they also have a high risk of injuries, which can range from short term muscle strains and pulls, to structural damage and long terms spells on the sidelines. Players can carry injuries for weeks without being effected, or they can breadown in the middle of their recovery, throwing their rehabilitation and returns out the window. Many times, injuries can form the basis of speculation, as inside information on superstars is highly sought after to get the edge over the rest of the competition, as your friends do not pick up on vital information. However, due to the lack of reliability of sources of information about information about players, information can often come from rumors and speculation, which can often be misleading. A players health status is vital information to fantasy sporting coaches, especially when it comes to making the decision of whether a player will play at his best. To this, speculative reports, rumors or ambiguety over a players well-being can be a nightmare when it comes to the decision of whether or not you pick a player to start or not.
