Player Attributes
Priority: Pace, Acceleration and Stamina are by far the most effective attributes, with a small edge to Pace. Get as much as you can.
Minimum requirements: 6-12 (depending on your league) in Work Rate, Anticipation, and Strength. These hurt a lot when below 6, but do not improve as much above 12.
Special: Jumping Reach (especially for defenders). This does not help much when below 6, but it is one of the most important attributes when above 12 (only below Pace, Acceleration, and Stamina).
Good to have: 6-12 (depending on your league) in Balance, Concentration and Natural Fitness. These hurt a bit when below 6, but not improve as much when above 12.
Example of ideal player
Pace: 12-20++
Acceleration: 12-20+
Stamina: 12-20+
Work Rate: 6-12
Anticipation: 6-20
Strength: 6-20
Jump Reach: 12-20*
Balance: 6-12
Concentration: 6-12
Natural Fitness: 6-12
+ Priority attributes, to get as high as possible
* Does not hurt much below 12, but helps a lot from 12 and up, especially for defenders.
This is the impact of each attribute when increased from 1 to 6 > 12 > 18.
Pace: 13.2 > 40.0 > 59.4
Acceleration: 12.6 > 34.0 > 48.1
Stamina: 11.8 > 29.4 > 43.4
Work Rate: 15.8 > 22.0 > 22.0
Anticipation: 11.0 > 19.8 > 24.6
Strength: 10.0 > 18.8 > 23.4
Jumping Reach: 5.8 > 18.0 > 33.4
Balance: 6.0 > 14.2 > 14.2
Concentration: 7.8 > 13.4 > 17.8
Natural Fitness: 8.6 > 12.6 > 15.5
Pressure: 13.6 > 15.6 > 20.8
