Instructions and the attributes that needed
Someone just asked me to explain details about the instructions and something like that. These are my opinion based on my reading from TFF. I just state the KEYS in my tactics. If you want more details, read TFF.
GK
Most important thing is handling, reflexes, one on ones and jumping. Need goalkeeper that have high above 185cm. So, they can jumping high when the ball can hitting the bar. Instructions is basic (defense)
DC
Higher attributes for jumping, heading, marking and tackling. Defense can score when we have freekicks and corners. So, I put them to challenge goalkeeper when corners taken.
FB
These FB instructions is likes WB because I like them to attacks and also defense very well. So, we need the fast defender that have higher attributes for tackling, anticipation, position, pace and crossing. Their crossing is important cause when they run with ball, they can cross it to other members. BUT, remember, I have put their crossing from is 'mixed' because they can quickly to cover DC when the opponents launch counter attack.
MC
I like to apply MCd and MCa. MCd is likely to defense for all time, but his mentality is not defense. I just put him as a 'normal' so he can help to attack while defense at the same time. Veloso, Palombo and etc are suit to this position. They have a good atrributes for, marking, tackling, concentration, teamwork, workrate, passing, creativity, strength, and desitions. I also give them a higher creative freedom so they can create a chances from deep. That's why their crossing from is set to 'deep'. Also, set him to often long shot and through ball.
MCa is likely have more attacking duties and his mentality is 'attacking'. But, because I want he also cover the backline, so, I just give him 'normal' mentality. The difference is, we need these MCa likes Matias, Alan Dzagoev, Moutinho, Hamsik, and etc. Why? Because these all players have a good for dribbling, passing, creativity, desicions, flair, determinations, off the ball, first touch and technique. They all can generate what passion of ball they want to supply at the right time. So, I give them higher creative freedom and free roles.
W
These positions is important roles or as a key in my tactics. So I apply it to maximum to make my attacking so dangerous. Palyers likes Balotelli, Zhirkov, Vargas, Sanchez, Messi, Tosic, and etc is suits. Their roles is to run with ball down flank and make the desitions either want to passing or finishing. That's why their important attributes are crossing, acceleration, pace, dribbling, off the ball, passing, first touch and technique. The instructions likes below;
Mentality-Attacking
Passing-Direct
Forward run-Often
Run with ball-Often
Long shot-Mixed
Cross ball-Mixed or Rarely
Cross from-Byline
AMC
These player is a roaming playmaker and you need to put him as a playmaker. They are Kaka, Matias, Alan, Mata and etc. They must have a good dribbling, so they can dribble through the center park and made the right decisions. They can supply a killer balls to the targetman.
ST
I like to use a fast striker likes Ronaldo, Torres, Balotelli, Love, Villa and etc. These types of players have a good finishing and dribbling. They was set to dribbling and made the last decisions which is scores. Also these players are the 'target man'. Remember, I only put one target man.
So, the conclusion is 3 players are reacts as a defense, 2 players as a supports and 6 players as a attacking. That's why my tactic is attacking. I just apply what I have read and learn. Also, my mentality tactic is ATTACKING what ever happen. I just want my players can scores more goals and conced less goals. Any questions, just ask. I will help. More details, read TFF documents.
