Does anybody know where i can get a list of which atributes go best for each position?

As a rough guide try these.

1.GKs. Reflexes, handling, communication and jumping.
2.Full backs. Positioning, tackling, pace, anticipation.
3. CDs. As above plus heading,strength,marking, bravery and teamwork.
4. Wgrs. Pace,dribbling, passing, off the ball, creativity and crossing.
5.Att. mids. Passing, off the ball, creativity, technique and dribbling.
6. Def. mids. Workrate,jumping, tackling, stamina and positioning.
7. Fast striker. Pace, acceleration, dribbling, technique, finishing and off the ball.
8. Target man. Jumping, heading, strength and off the ball.

The above coupled with reading through pages 37 through 41 in the current manual should give you a reasonable start. Also, read through some of the many and varied posts within the forum. Especially from wwfan and rasidi1. although some of the information may be with regards to FM'07, much of it holds good for FM'08.

if you want you can use genie's scout not to look for players, but to see which attributes contribute to the positional rating he calculates.
While this program is available for FM07 I don'r believe there should be a major difference in regards to attributes-position relationship

What are the important attributes for each position


Goalkeepers - Vital Skills

Positioning, handling, command of area, agility, stamina, jumping, reflex, strength, decisions and aerial ability

Other

Throwing, pace, concentration, composure, bravery and anticipation


Centre backs - Vital Skills

Positioning, jumping, tackling, marking, aggression, strength, bravery and heading

Other Skills

Stamina, anticipation, determination, pace and acceleration

Fullbacks

Choose well, easily the best position to exploit in the game. If you can have the best of both worlds then they could be the diff between winning and losing. They can be both defensively good and offensively awesome. Pace isn't a crucial factor, but if you want them to be good defenders, then positioning and anticipation may have to be introduced as well.

Vital

Work rate, stamina, teamwork, decisions, positioning and acceleration

Other Skills

Determination, strength, crossing and dribbling


Defensive Midfielder

Holding players who can help draw out the opposition, they can also play deadly killer balls and work very well with AMC based formations.

Vital Stats

Tackling, strength, aggression, marking, stamina, work rate, teamwork and decisions

Others

Pace, passing, acceleration, determination, concentration, creativity


Attacking Mids

Link players with DMs or with regular MCs. If you place FWR often on them they could drift out of position so never do that. Use their strengths. This can be an interesting area, what's listed are bare essentials,but if they have good dribbling skills they can be very deadly too.So adjust their instructions based on what they have..you can use dribbling for long shots as a trade off.

Vital Stats

Decisions, Creativity, passing, off ball, technique, finishing, work rate

Others

Stamina, teamwork, flair, long shots, pace, acceleration


Wingers - Vital Skills
