A while back there was a thread about how managers should be prioritizing the shortlisted players. IIRC, it suggested something like having a hierarchy of three groups of shortlisted players, players they are dying for, players they want, and players they would only buy if they could get them cheap.
So maybe, the style of a footballer should also be taken to account. Position, Ability and Reputation should not be enough. Attributes are already divided in 8 training categories. So, each manager could have a rating of how much he likes each one.
For example, manager X's style could be:
Strength: 20 (likes his players to be strong)
Ball Control: 5
Set pieces: 1 (not a factor)
etc
Then, when he shortlisted a player, he would prioritize him not only according to his Ability and position, but according to his style too.

This seems like a brilliant idea to me. Managers in FM have always been too similar for me.
Combine the types of players the manager likes to buy along with more distinct tactical models seems like the way forward.
If SI were able, although I understand how difficult it might be, it would be great if different managers had different styles and tones when dealing with the media. You could have a handful of media sets, based on personalities (eloquent speakers, direct and to the point etc) to give them more individuality.
