There used to be a post/ thread about what key attributes each position needed.
Any chance of someone finding it for me? There's a couple of bottles of plop in it for you.

Beezer put this together on the old site - seems decent but can argue on some areas. For example I always look for "positioning" for a defender

On a related note, the Tsigalko/Van Nistelrooy thread was crucial. I'm hoping that the posts over there are gonna be fully migrated into this new forum.

Fully agree! First thing I checked here was 'has the Tsigalko/VN thread made it?'

Nothing stopping either of you copying it across, we don’t have any secret way of copying things across, you just have to create a new thread and copy and paste each post.

Copy from the old forum
Taken from Churky's Win Everything with Anyone
Players
All positions demand Determination.
On top of that...
a) goalkeepers need only Handling, and maybe Reflexes and Positioning, but it's not vital
b) central defenders, fullbacks, and defensive midfielders need Positioning. Other logical things like Jumping, Marking and Tackling are nice to have, but not really necessary
c) other midfielders need Passing and Off the Ball. Again, many other attributes can help, but you can focus on those two, especially in the lower leagues
d) forwards need Jumping, Pace and Off the Ball

Was wondering what you all think are the most important attributes for a player on the game?
I think I’ve read before that Determination is the one above all that you should ensure every player has a high rating of…
Any other essentials?

I won't sign anybody with high Injury proneness, I always look for minimum 10+ stamina, work rate and natural fitness.

Never look at determination
Stamina is my number 1
Many say positioning

Availability is the most important ability. Therefore for all the outfield positions other than striker, it’s like the guys said above has to come down to stamina / nf/ ip and since stamina is the only visible one, stamina. Even stamina 13-15 can get you a full back that can’t complete 90 mins.
It’s a bit like Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs, you *want* your players to have good otb, positioning, det, bravery but you *need* them to have appropriate stamina for their position if you want to be able to play pressing / hard tackling / run with ball.
Unless you can get the rules changed halfway thru the season to allow five subs. Then it’s irrelevant.

Hi everyone,First time posting here. Sorry if the following are questions that have already been asked and/or if there is in fact a detailed post that explains what all the stats stand for exactly. But since I was not able to find it after a couple of searches I figured I would take the plunge and ask.
I did a few Google searches first, but the results are inconclusive and I am also not sure if I can 'trust' the sources to be correct.
Ideally, I would love to see a post that explains what ALL the stats entail, though some are obviously much more self explanatory than others, this would still be nice. But my main questions are about the more ambiguous ones. Please help (if you know)!
Q1: Is Positioning purely a defensive attribute? My online search results certainly suggest this, however I am for example baffled that in the default database Romario has 19 for this stat. That at least suggests it might be a useful attribute for goal poachers too, as Romario did not defend for a single minute in his life. To me, it would make more sense if the attribute refers to the general positioning sense a player has across the field, but of course I'd like to know if this is accurate or not.
Q2: Basically the reverse of Q1, is Movement truly an offensive attribute only, or does it simply describe how well the player is able to find space across the pitch?
Q3: Is One on ones strictly a GK related attribute? Or does any player benefit from it and does it simply reflect their dueling ability? Or perhaps it only relates to the specific scenario that an outfield player is one on one with a goalie and they both benefit from this ability being higher? I am again confused, because some strikers have this stat high in the editor, but definitely not all. It certainly seems to be at least a GK stat, that is at least consistent with stats assigned in the default database.
Q4: Does temperament reflect how easily the player loses their temper or how well they keep it? I found Roy Keane to have a low score, so I think I know the answer, but would still like to be sure. So basically is 20 someone that boils over quickly or a picture of serenity?
Thanks in advance for any insights and help!

This is official CM0102 Editor cm0102ed help notes:
Staff attributes
Please remember that any numeric rating is indicating the rating of the attribute on world-wide basis and not relative to the league or competition the staff is playing in. This means that in an attribute that accepts values from 0 to 20, 0 is random, 1 is the worst possible standard anywhere in the world at any time, so 20 is the best possible standard anywhere in the world at any time.
If this is not taken into consideration when changing the data, this will in turn make a newly created game very unrealistic.
*** Renaming staff: You should use this edit (Staff Edit) to change the names of any staff. If the name set as does not exist, it will be automatically created and added to the appropriate name list.
Page 1: Personal
*** Attribute: First name, second name, common name
Description: Names. These are actually references to the first names, second names and commo names name tables. You can choose names from the drop-down list by clicking the down-arrow button or pressing the down arrow key (or alt key and the down arrow key). You don’t, however, have to go to the name tables to add or delete names. You can simply type a name of your liking in the edit box, and if that name does not exist it will be created in the appropriate name table.
The common name is the staff’s nickname. If this is set, generally this name will be used throughout the game instead of his first and second names, though you will find these in the staff’s Transfer tab on the staff screen in the game.
Type: Text string.
Length: Max. 51 characters.
*** Attribute: Date of birth
Description: Date format DD.MM.YYYY (DD – day of month, MM – month of year, YYYY - year). If this field is set the game will use it as the birthday of this staff. If it isn’t set, it will use the Year of birth field if that is set, or create a random date of birth if none of them are set.
Type: Date (text string)
Value range: 01.01.1915 – 20.07.1990
*** Attribute: Year of birth
Description: This attribute is only used if Date of birth is empty. The game will then use this (if set, i.e. > 0) and create a random date of birth in that year when initialising a new game.
Type: Number.
Value range: From 0 (not set) to 1990.
*** Attribute: Classification
Description: The classification of a staff, this determines if the staff is a player, a non-player (e.g. manager, coach, etc), or both.

*** Attributes: Goalkeeper, Sweeper, Defender, Defensive midfielder, Midfielder, Attacking midfielder, Attacker and Wing back.
Description: The respective positions and his happiness and ability to play in those positions.
Note: These settings will affect the player’s attributes (see Page 8: Player).

Page 8: Player (Players only)
The following attributes are this player’s characteristics. They are all numbers in the range 0 (random) to 20 (best).
Please note that the game will make certain calcuations on the data in attempt to make it as realistic as possible, so your input values may change in the game compared to your data input in the editor.
