Listed below are the key attributes to look for in a player being used in each of the available roles and duties. The Tactics section of this guide looks at selecting roles and duties in more detail. These key attributes are largely identical to those given in the game, which can be viewed on the Player section of your squad's Tactics tab as well as on the Attributes section of any player's Overview tab by using the highlight key attributes for role drop-down menu. However, you should also consider the importance of other attributes, such as those appropriate for your team instructions, any modified individual player instructions and those required for common actions as explained in the attribute combinations guide.
