Subject: Ideal Defender

If a defender's ability is 100, how much contribution does every skill give?
e.g.
25 stamina
15 pace
10 technique
5 passing
0 keeper
45 defender
0 playmaker
0 striker

I'm afraid that my trainees are all one-dimensional...

From sokkerhelp.org:

DEF - Main: Defending | Secondaries: technique, playmaking, stamina, pace | Useful but not 100% neccessary: Passing, striker

different players have different opinions. My ideal defender will have

15 stamina
7.5 pace
5 technique
5 passing
7.5 playmaking
60 defending
0 keeper
0 striker

i would make my secondaries a bit higher personally..

In assistant I have defenders set as:

Stamina 15
Pace 19
Tech 19
Passing 5
Keeper 0
Def 25
PM 15
Scoring 0
Form 2

you can't put 2 on form, thats cheating.

In truth the ideal defender depends on who you are going to play against.

If you play against strikers with rubbish technique, but they are fast, you need more pace. If they have high technique, but not as much pace, then you need more defending skill. The problems come when they have both.

Those skills probably do need adjusting, I did them ages ago. The 2 on form would probably be best on pace, and tech could be lowered a bit in favour of a bit more on passing.

What on earth was I thinking!

Here a new one.

pace-15
technique-10
defending-35
playmaking-15
passing-10
stamina-15
