@ZaZ is right, I use Genie Scout with a custom Ratings file. You can read all about it at the Positional Filters Forum Positional Filters Forum Link.
I download the results to Excel and add the manual components relating to Positional Ratings there. I have a spreadsheet that I use for my own squad analysis and selections that does the remainder of the analysis.
robertsseu said: @ZaZ Hi Mate, I know you have added in an attribute sheet about the best possible attributes for those players in the positions. Have you thought about creating a shortlist for some good players that would suit the tactic significantly? I know this could take some time, but it would help massively and I am sure a lot of people with respect it. OR Does something like this exist as I am hoping?
Thanks. Expand
@RAFSTAR I hope this answers your question to me as well.
Well after a bit of working through things I have the results. I took about 200 with the best ratings and added a few from below that to pad out some of the Blue positions. Ended up with around 250 of the best players using the ykykyky balanced ratings file. After downloading all the ratings for all the positions I then manually added all the Playing Position ratings for all those players, but only if they were at least 15. I probably should have only used 18 and above but hey it is all done now. I have arranged it into the top 20 for each position. I also decided to add non ZaZ Blue positions for people not using ZaZ Blue tactic. Just remember these numbers may be different for each persons game. I have split the results into 2 sections, first for defenders and second for attackers.
Defenders
Attackers
I also selected the best from each position and put them into the ZaZ Blue structure. Here is what the best team would look like.
The team rating is 90.9 which is more than 4 points clear of the best side at the start my game save.
These rankings should work with any tactic even though they were originally designed for ZaZ Blue. Notice that in the main there aren't big margins at the top of the lists. If you were using ZaZ Blue you could easily drop a fair way down and have no noticeable impact on performance.

Which leagues are you interested in, I can do it for the top European sides I guess. If this isn't what you are after please let me know. I will start a game with all the major Euro sides and South American and then do the calculations. These will be the best players so wont help if you are playing something like English Championship.
You should also note that all saves will vary slightly with the attributes for players so it may not be the same in your game save. I will be using the ykykyky balanced ratings file and doing offsets for the positional ability of 2.5% for each point below the optimum 20 points which closely aligns with the FM Arena findings on the Playing Position Attributes Table.

The one you have referenced is the one that I use. Enjoy.
If you fill those attributes with 20; you will get a CA 200.
It's not only JPA, JPP, Working with Youngsters (which have 4.0 in weighting), but other attributes as well. As everything in the game, attributes plays in combination. To make it more easy understandable: ST with 20 in Finishing, does not mean will score 200 goals. Other combination is essential. Same apply for staff. Expand
Do you have the weighting table for staff, and if so could you please share it. Thanks
The original Dragons Breathe was the best tactic I have had so far. It remains untested. Is there a chance we can get it tested. I like to stick to my tactics and would like to know whether this is still the best. Thanks
Middleweight165 said: Interesting. So the results of that indicate Agility is more important if I am reading it right? Do the results of that correlate with the tests done on this site regarding attributes? Im assuming this is more specific to position and then specific to position in your tactic Expand
You do need to be careful when you start just focusing on just the most important attribute to select players. For example, with the machine learning analysis there were 9 attributes with weightings at 50 or higher, with agility at 100. These attributes total nearly 600 between them. To just look at the attribute that makes up 16% of those, and just 7.5% of the total weightings for the position is risky. It doesn't seem like it would work to me. There maybe many GKs with low agility that score very high on the other 8 important attributes who are much better GKs. At least look at the top 5 attributes to make your decision. Agility, Reflexes, Strength, Acceleration and Concentration.
ZaZ said: Attacking set pieces are pretty good now with my last improvements, now I'm focusing in defending set pieces before releasing Blue 3.3. Do you wanna test it in advance, @Mark? Expand
Here are the set piece test results. I would be looking to either base your routine on Super Korean which is an older @ZaZ routine and change the defensive corners to the updated ZaZ 3.1 routines or just run with ZaZ's latest routine. Seems like not much between them.
Gracolas said: Hi guys, i know that CM Mezzala is not in this tactic, but i use it on my own tactic - would you recommend the same attributes as a DM in this table? if not, what would you consider to be the top 5 attributes? Expand

I think I have fixed it. I was sure I checked it but it seemed to have picked a recent copied link. Thanks for letting me know

No it isn't
Happy to mate
Also, what are super korean set pieces? I checked the tactic you tested (only my railgun 2022) and it's the same as Blue DM.
Maybe it is. I thought it was an earlier version
CM is the same as DM in my analysis - passing
