It's one more thing for admins to keep track of and one more complication to work with. Injuries are a part of the game and you just hvae to roll with them.
In a league where I feel it promotes teams to get rid of older players because of potential random drop or injury problems this could be a way to extend player's careers. This happens in MLB too, but the rate at which players fall off is much greater in FCM.
I don't see this being used to death. I could see it being like winterball where; some use it religiously, some use it sporadically, and some rarely or never use it. It's also a way to get the cash flow going in the league. There will be many instances where a player wouldn't be hurt enough to match the premium purchased. So while some teams get their investment back, others will have paid all this money for nothing which is good for those hoarding cash.
I'd be willing to create a calculator for this using Excel and it would be an easy plug 'n chug process.
