You shouldn't pay any attention to the value of the specific attribute and few days ago I made a post where explained why, if you want you can search for that post.
BUT you should pay attention to the balance between attributes.
There are 400+ leagues in the game and for every league you need different CA players to do dominate that league.
For example, it's possible to dominate in some league with a team that consists only of 110 CA players but in other league you need to have a team that consists of 130 CA players to dominate in it and some leagues require to have a team that consists of 170 CA players to dominate in them.
I just want to remind that CA(Current Ability) is nothing more than an amount of point that players have to spend on their attribute and that's all.
Every additional point to "Passing" attribute increases the chance that the player will make an accurate pass.
Every additional point to "Finishing" attribute increases the chance that the player will score when he has a scoring chance.
Every additional point to "Strength" attribute increases the chance that the player will win 50/50 challenge.
Every additional point to "Acceleration and Pace" attributes increases the chance that the player will be faster than his opponent.
And so on...
Here's how the media prediction looks in the 1st season in Sky Bet Championship, we see that Hull has the 1st media prediction and Preston has the 24th media prediction:
Now if we look at the CA of Hull's players then we will see that the team consists of 140 - 120 CA players that mean if you have a team that consists of 135 - 140 CA players in Sky Bet Championship then you have the strongest team in the league and you should easily dominate this league so if you manage a team in this league and you want to dominate this league then your team should consist of 135 - 140 CA players:
Now if we look at the CA of Preston's players then will see that the team consists of 120 - 100 CA players that mean if you have a team that consists of 110 CA players in Sky Bet Championship then you have the weakest team in the league and all other teams in the league have advantage over you because they have stronger teams and any result above the last place would be already a good result for your team:
Here's how the media prediction looks in the 1st season in English Premier League, we see that Chelsea has the 1st media prediction and Bournemouth has the 20th media prediction:
Now if we look at the CA of Chelsea's players then we will see that the team consists of 175 - 145 CA players that mean if you have a team that consists of 165 - 175 CA players in English Premier League then you have the strongest team in the league and you should easily dominate this league so if you manage a team in this league and you want to dominate this league then your team should consist of 165 - 175 CA players:
Now if we look at the CA of Bournemouth's players then will see that the team consists of 138 - 120 CA players that mean if you have a team that consists of 125 CA players in English Premier League then you have the weakest team in the league and all other teams in the league have advantage over you because they have stronger teams and any result above the last place would be already a good result for your team:
As you can see every league requires a specific level of attributes and this level will be different for every league so you have to tweak the filters to suite the league and the club you play but you should always try to keep the balance between attributes this mean if you struggle to find players for some position by using filters and you are going to reduce the attributes then you should start to reduce all mental and technical attributes by 1 point at once and not to repeatedly reduce only one specific attribute and don't reduce other.
And that's why when I make filters or recommend attributers I don't pay too much attention to the level of attributes because it's really isn't important and should be tweaked by everyone but I pay a serious attention to the balance between the attributes and it's the only thing I care about and you should try to keep it.
