FM2010 Hints: Key Attributes for Positions
I have already been asked several times to make some kind of short guide that
will help to choose players for different positions. The most significant choice
factor is value of key attributes for each position. But surely these key attributes
differ depending on position.
So you are welcomed to read my short FM2010 hints answering on question:

Ratings for reflexes, handling, communication, jumping and positioning
are generally a good indicator for how good a goalkeeper is.
FM 2009 Story
Hull If you're looking for a good wing-back pay special attention to an
individual's positioning, tackling, stamina, pace and acceleration.
FM 2008 Stories
Positioning, tackling, pace and anticipation are just some of the
Arsenal
important characteristics that make for a good full-back.
Southampton
A good centre-back will usually have high ratings for tackling, jumping,

positioning, heading, strength, marking, bravery and team work.
Pace, dribbling, passing, off the ball, creativity, stamina and crossing are

again a very useful post, both your's and the one in the comment above
me :D ...
but these attributes (many more actually) can also be found in player
instructions on the tactics screen.. for each role you might set for a
player...
Chris Harrison Says: 5 April 2010 14:55
Bit of a silly post in my opinion, all these attributes are pretty obvious. If
you don't know that a pacey striker needs good finishing, composure
and speed, then you shouldn't be playing FM...
Thomas Says: 5 April 2010 15:55
No i disagree with Chris Harrison , I'm perfectly good at FM ( i got
swindon to the europa league semi-final by 2016) but i still found it
difficult to decide what mental attributes are necessary. Also where you
have written attacking midfielder central, you wrote (DMC) by the way :)
Mohd Says: 5 April 2010 22:48
yes.. i'm agree wif thomas..
it really a good info & knowledge.. hope vitaly can add "The Best Role"
for every position..for example:
Quick Forwards (FC) - Pocher

3. Finishing, Composure, Pace, Acceleration, Dribbling
McGeady (CRO) Says: 6 April 2010 00:37
yeah i could really use a good "roles guide".. especially for the strikers.. i
always set them as advanced forwards and it seems to be working, but
still...
the other positions are much easier to set though...
p.s. trequartista for AMC is a killer :DD
Andrew Says: 6 April 2010 17:14
very good roles
i've never really taken in to account the ''teamwork''
and it's helped me a lot
thanks, vitaliy!
PS is teamwork essential for a youth player? and how do you improve
teamwork with training?
Gaz Says: 6 April 2010 19:25
Vitaly, i am not happy, my football manager wont play! it says
XML parsing error!
not well-formed (invalid token)at line1 of default.xml
What does that mean?
Vallecross Says: 6 April 2010 21:10
Hello, I playing with leeds and are on my second season in championship
and need some tips of player that i can buy. I need a goalkeeper, central
defender and a creative midfielder. Thankfull for respons ;)
Vitaliy Mokosiy Says: 6 April 2010 21:55
Thomas,
thanks, I've fixed the problem :)
dwaipayan Says: 7 April 2010 15:29
At Chris Harrison:
Plz read the older posts first then comment. This was asked to be
posted by few followers of the blog. Why do you find things silly when
someone is giving valuable tips to the others.
Chris Harrison Says: 7 April 2010 21:44
I've been following this blog on and off for ages. All I'm saying if you are
good at FM, you won't need to read this article because it's stating the
obvious.
dwaipayan Says: 8 April 2010 12:54
At Chris Harrison:
I agree it's stating the obvious for us. But not everyone been playing FM
blog on and off for ages. Few may be new to football world too.
Vitaliy Mokosiy Says: 11 April 2010 10:40
Yep, not for everyone. Some guys asked me to make this post. And it
wasn't complicated to write some kind of short tutorial about key
attributes for each position.
Experienced FM gamers doesn't need this information, of course.
zendor32 Says: 11 April 2010 13:10

4. Well, ideal attributes is not necessarily the same with everybody. It
depends primarily of what strategy you want to do.
If you are going for a more attacking build, you will want your left and
right backs to be able to cross, pass and have creativity. However if you
are into more defense, heading, tackling and marking is needed.
So see what is your kind of strategy and fit the attributes into it.

i've ever write this in my notepad
but my fault, i've lost that important thing and i've been lazy to write it
again
Pablo Says: 20 May 2010 23:32
First of all, sorry for my english :D lol
I dont agree with ur post because withing the same position, u may look
to give different rolls to that player.. (example, pirlo and gattuso play in
the same position, but are VERY different)
Being extremist, thre r not "basic" attributes to any position, so I think it
is better to give attributes acordingto the role, and not to the position:
GOALKEEPERS (if u use a high defense line and fast defenders): need
high rushing out, one on ones, decisions and positioning.
GOALKEEPERS (if u use deep defense line, with slow defenders): Aerial
ability, decisions, comand of area, positioning, reflexes, tendendy to
punch (or high handling)
Zonal CB Acceletation, tackling, anticipation, positioning,concentration,
jumping
Marking CB Positioning, marking, anticipation, strenght, concentration,
tackling.
if u need some other advice add me to MSN: elpablo54@hotmail.com
hope it helps.

i think Full backs/Wingbacks need pretty good crossing to support the
wingers if you look at players like Wayne Bridge they have a high
crossing attribute :P
