Subject: Players attributes....

I am just trying ti make sure that I train the right attributes. Is there a table that tells me what is the most important attributes for a midfielder, forward etc. I am currentlly training passing for my midfielders....

Thank you

There's no real table. There's just a bunch of opinions. For PM's, there are even different combinations that are more or less important, depending on whether the midfielder is playing a wing, center mid or defensive mid position....

midder is generally
1) Passing / PM - both vital
2) Pace
3) Tech
4) Def

If it's a defensive mid, obviously tech and def would swap.

ON a winger or center mid, some striker can be cute too.

This is an opinion from a pretty novice player, but given the way that the match engine currently treats technique - that you need to have a really high level of it to either collect most any pass cleanly or run through a defender with any D - I see it as important, but not near pace, and not, as a general rule, as important as defending.

If you could get a guy to excellent, formidable, etc., then yeah, it's huge. But defending is pretty huge for all midfielders at the levels I've played. And of course pace is extremely important.

Also, I put striker pretty high for my attacking midfielders, whether wingers or inners. A big striker in that area can really complicate things for a defense, just as in real life.

A nice Mid looks like this (not one of my players BTW, don't worry)

excellent stamina, tragic keeper
formidable pace, very good defender
very good technique, Very good playmaker
solid passing, adequate striker

now if he was only 17 or 18

I like better primary abilities. You can fill in the other ones with some random training and pops over time. That pace is nice, though....
