Does anyone have any good tactical advice after they look at each of the opposing team's players attributes?

For example:

If I notice in an opponents PPM that he tries to play way out of trouble or dwells on ball, I will instruct my team to always close down on them, because they are more likely to turn over the ball.

If I notice an opponents PPM is to always move to right foot before dribbling, I will show them to their left foot. Because it will make it harder for them to go on runs.

If an opponet makes late runs into the box, I will always assign a specific player to mark them, as those late runs are lethal otherwise.

Other suggestions?

Ball into feet = Tight marking to cut off there supply

Argues with officials = Hard tackling annoy them till they break

Dives into tackles = Set your player to run at them easy way of getting opposing team yellows

Dictates tempo = closing down always cuts time on the ball

Tries tricks = hard tackling break there legs hopefully

Tries killer balls often/tries long range passing = closing down always stops time on the ball to pick there pass out

Hugs line = man mark or they get extra space to pick out crosses

Plays short simple pass = tight marking if you cut them out there possesion will drop

Knocks ball past opponents = Easy tackling saves my fullbacks many a time

Likes to try to beat the offside trap = tight marking saved me many a time (fast center half needed if quick striker)

Thats all i can remember at the minute.

For Tries Tricks, I'd suggest easy tackling, as they won't dive in recklessly, and focus on making a well-timed tackle.
