Some people like Raikan likes to upgrade this forum in every possible way, and then there are some other people like you who are just bitter and make unnecessary posts ;).
Nice job Raikan, just I think pace is very important for a winger, regardless of duty. And btw, I love Rooney's pic :D
 
Cheers great for beginners but I think there are some atttribute you're missing, like aggresion for ball winning, flair for advanced playmakers, creativity for inside forward, etc .
 
Another of a belter of a thread from Raikan.
Great work
 
Thanks , Appreciate the effort of writing this all down, bookmarked :)
 
cheers guys :) as I said, that was off the top of my head and I have not played Fm in over 6 weeks. just remember that I stated the top 5 most important stats for those positions, I cant include all of the important stats :)
 
Is it me or did you forgot the Trequartista?

Awesome list Raikan!

Everyone should know some attributes are always a key one, regardless of their role or duty. But i'm quite sure the common FM-Base user knows that
 
haha, I did, its not really a position but it is a role :) I will update that asap mate! cheers

going to update Treq tomorrow...
 
I do! I have one question, though. As I'm not a native English speaker and a FM rookie on top of it, I could use a source where the individual roles are explained. What does a poacher do? Finishing? While a target men is more playing with his back to the goal? If there is guide explaining the individual roles a bit, I could apply this guide even more :)
 
Awesome post but surely flair is more important than tackling for an advanced playmaker, tackling is rather unimportant infact. Bit like Rooneys pic flair=20 lol
