The Squad tab is every player you own. It is both a list and a scouting tool: a quick summary for comparing players at a glance, and a full attribute breakdown when you want to know exactly what someone is good at.
The quick summary
Each player shows a Rating, their goals, and three summary bars that compress dozens of attributes into the three things that decide most matches:
The three bars
- PACOptionalPace — acceleration and sprint speed.
- SHOOptionalShooting — the finishing and power group.
- DEFOptionalDefending — tackling, marking and awareness.
The full attribute breakdown
Open a player and their attributes are grouped into nine categories. This is the real picture — the three summary bars are only a shorthand.
The nine attribute groups
- PaceOptionalAcceleration and sprint speed.
- PhysicalOptionalStrength, stamina, jumping, balance, agility and aggression.
- ShootingOptionalFinishing, shot power, long shots, volleys, penalties and shot accuracy.
- Set PiecesOptionalFree-kick accuracy, curve and corners.
- PassingOptionalShort and long passing, vision, crossing and through balls.
- DribblingOptionalDribbling, ball control, flair, reactions and composure.
- DefendingOptionalMarking, standing and sliding tackles, interceptions, defensive awareness and heading.
- GoalkeepingOptionalDiving, handling, kicking, positioning and reflexes. Only meaningful for keepers.
- MentalOptionalPositioning, decisions, teamwork, leadership, work rate, determination, consistency and anticipation.
Do not buy on rating alone
Rating is one number summarising a player who has around fifty attributes. Two players with the same rating can be completely different footballers. Before you spend, open the breakdown and check the groups that matter for the role you are filling — Mental in particular is routinely ignored and routinely decisive.
Player appearance
Players have a visual appearance you can adjust and save. It has no effect on ability — it is there so your squad looks like your squad when matches are rendered.
