IMO the std tactics are fine, the Ass man gives team talks and you can leave training alone, maybe not optimum but playable (more odd results than perhaps IRL and I could do without offsides when not etc).

On topic - I did test this matching idea with FM07 without success and after reading AI tactics post, work on basis of subtle changes from norm but keep to mostly team settings.

If I get a chance I will Holiday test with passing changed, but currently testing 343 with Chelsea.

Last year paulsgruff tried to do something similar, though he used more complicated approach. You can find detailsHere.

The problem I see in your approach is that some of the attributes should only be considered in a combination, and some positions require certain instructions. For example, if a player with great creativity but low decision is given much creative freedom, I doubt you will get what you really want. Or if a TM has high ratings for stamina and workrate => given high closing down instruction, he might be out of position too often, etc. More importantly, it is generally possible that you have "crazy" instructions, like CDs close down often and has mentality 15, while STs pass long with mentality 5 etc.

But generally you are right, individual instructions should account for individual characteristics. The only thing is how to make sure that they don't lead team to failure .

thoughti wouldtry thiswith my lfc team.

alonso has 20 passing and creativity so i tried with max cf and short passing and he was awesome but found he was even better when putting his passing around 15 (direct) and dropping his cf to 18.

i then tried this with gerrard, and found he played better with more direct passing and creativity that matched his stats.

the only thing i can say about cf is that if your strikers have low creativity and you match there cf to there stats then they wont shoot as often so finding the middle ground here is important. same applies for wingers and amc
