Why Yves Missi’s risk score is 87
- Injury History (+50): 14 recorded injury events, 6 in the past 18 months, 2 severe
- Non-Injury Absences (context only): Missed games for illness/personal reasons in the past 18 months: ~3 (not counted toward risk score)
- Position Load (context only): C with 11 lower-body injury event(s) (context only, not counted toward risk score)
- Recurring Injury (+16): Ankle has been the site of 5 separate injury episodes — a recurring, chronic-pattern concern rather than isolated bad luck
- Contract Year (×1.14): Not yet in a contract year (fringe-tier contract), but still fighting for his next deal — same incentive to play through a minor issue rather than rest it: can mean a breakout season, but also a nagging injury compounding
The injury risk score (0–100) is built from a player’s injury history — how often, how recently and how seriously he has been hurt — plus a body part that keeps failing, age, a recent return from injury, and his contract situation. 70+ is High risk, 40–69 Medium, under 40 Low.
