HELP - Choosing between technique and agility

[marcinny]

I am buying a new defender (center) for my team and I am torn between two players. They have similar attributes, but one of them lacks technique (only 8) and the other one lack agility.

This is a Championship side and both players would do. However, I can't choose.

I am afraid that the one who lacks technique won't be able to use properly the attributes that he possesses. And I am afraid that by the time the other guy decides to move his sleepy behind it will be too late to exert his other great skills.

I'd appreciate comments and suggestions.

If the value of the player is any indicator, the one who lacks technique is at least million more expensive.

Normally I would say go for physique until you get to the really big leagues, but if the agile one is 1 million more, I don't know. Try to figure out who compliments your other players the best.

Thanks Mads,
Complementing the other key central defender is maybe the answer. Great suggestion.

I'd go for the cheaper option which is tecnique. Even though I think tecnique is more for attacking players, it could prove useful for defenders. Poor tecnique will see these players suffer with mistakes. They don't need agility as much as they aren't dodging and weaving through players. Besides £1m is a bit for championship sides.
