# Athlete Injuries & Card Performance

**1. Card Status During Injury**

* Injured athletes **remain usable in your lineup**.
* Cards **cannot be sold** if they are currently in lineups or freecards pending Stripe activation.
* Their weekly score may be **lower or zero** if they do not compete or post on social media.

**2. Social & Recovery Activity**

* Athletes posting about recovery, training, or rehab can still generate social points.
* Peaxel scoring captures the **full athlete journey**, not just competitions.
* Example: An injured karate athlete posting training videos or updates can still contribute points to your lineup.

**3. Strategic Considerations**

* Include multiple athletes in your lineup to mitigate inactivity risks.
* Monitor athlete updates and adjust your lineup before **Thursday 23:59** if you expect reduced participation.

**Tip:** Keep an eye on social activity and real-world schedules to optimize points, even during recovery periods.
