What attributes are best when looking for a good playmaker?

Thanks in advance

I'd personally look for creativity, passing, flair, decisions, teamwork and preferred moves like "dictates tempo" etc.

Excellent Asmodeus, thanks for the info

Bear it in mind that it's fairly subjective though- different managers will look for slightly different attributes in playmakers.

Alternatively you can find what you deem to be a good playmaker in the game, and take notes of his strengths. Riquelme or Fabregas for example.

creativity, passing, decisions, balance, technique and " dictates tempo". Also a high value in " off the ball" is great, else its to easy for the opponents to mark him tight

I strongly recommend you don't use a playmaker.

The basic priciple of a playmaker is that he dictates most of your teams plays i.e. everything goes through him. Unless u have a fairly weak team with one exception playmaker type player, then this is more of a negative in my opinion.

I agree.

I find when i play a playmaker, the oposition mark him closely, and he usually ends up with a 6 rating.

And I'm playing as Ajax, just started my third season.
First two were very succesfull, with a 4-3-3 and always a playmaker. Won PD twice, Dutch Cup twice, and second season CL Final (lost 1-0, and sure it was this fluke in the 88 minute, after trying to change tactic, my players all started bumping into eachtother, must have been a bug or some... :p).
And the best part about a PM with the right PPM's and carefully selected Instructions is this little story:
After getting a shitload of money I managed to bring in Van Der Vaart for a total of 1/3 of my balance (!!!).
"And I was thinking of how long this story could end up being..."
So here's the FORM picture:


As far as I'm concerned, PM rocks!!!
