Say, for example, I have a fullback in my Premier League side who is good going forward (which is what my tactic requires) with decent attributes in all the required areas for an attacking fullback, but has a Crossing of only 5, is it worth focussing his individual training on improving that attribute? Or is that attribute just too far low to be worth the extra time that could be spent honing is already solid attributes/overall game?
If the attribute in question is just a bit lower than his other important ones, e.g. his Off The Ball is 10, I will usually look to pull that attribute a point or two higher so it is line with the rest. But if it's really low, as above, might you just as well forget about improving it and instruct the player to avoid using whatever it is that the bad attribute entails?
Also, does the age of a player make a difference? So if the player is 25ish does it make more sense to abandon the poor attribute and work on his overall game? Whereas if the player is under 18 and you spot an attribute that is important but way below the rest, is it more likely to be worthwhile putting the extra focus in to the attribute because he's still young and could develop it more rapidly without impeding the growth of his other attributes?
Basically I have a fullback who has terrible crossing compared to his other stats and want to know if I should bother trying to bring that up to scratch, but this is an important question in general I reckon.
There are 6 question marks above and I'd be delighted if anyone could answer them like 1),2),3),4),5),6). Shouldn't take too long for the more experienced FMers and I'd be very grateful!
