Heading, Marking, Tackling, Anticipation, Concentration, Jumping Reach, Strength, Decision, Positioning. I believe Determination and Decision are the most important stats in the game so its beneficial for players to have good numbers in these stats. Reccomended Player AttributesThese are the attributes i feel are useful for players in specified roles but dont be put off if your player does not have every single stat. Two of the goals scored by Tadic were penalties which is why he is higher up the scoring charts The goals are mainly scored by the strikers. As you can see, most of the assists come from the wingers and the False 9. The image abopve shows my first 11 during my test save with southampton. The more advanced technical player will need pace to run on to through balls and will look to work off opposition defenders shoulders. He will also arrive late in the box and look to get on the end of crosses. The techinical player will drop deep and offer extra support in midfield. The Strike Partnership is a techical player and atheletic player combination. The AMR can be seen operating in a more central position. The image shows the heatmap of the more attacking variation of the tactic. The Fullbacks will support their respective wingers and will sometimes overlap and deliver crosses as well. Wide players will be quick direct runners who look to beat opposition fullbacks before delivering killer balls into the box. The other 10 % come from forwards moving into channels. The Fullbacks and Wingers offer I would say about 90%of all the width in this tactic.

Obviously, the DLP woud need to be more defensively adept while the BBm would need more of an attacking presence Both these players have to good on the ball going forward and competent defensively. This is not exactly how Fergusons set up but remember what I said previously about stability. In my formation, I use a DLP and BBM combination. The Central Midfielders as mentioned before work as a double pivot.


He is comfortable on the ball and will usually try to make himself another passin option for the players around him. The ball playing defender (Ferdinand) will be in charge of covering any loose balls/passes that might fall behind his defensive partner. He will not be the most technically gifted player and will be in charge of winning most headers. He will look to mark opposition strikers into non existence leaving them feeling lonley on the pitch. The Limited defender (VIdic) is the rock in your defence. On-field PartnershipsThe Centrebacks have different roles.
