Default I'm obsessed with "Work Rate"

What individual attribute do you look for most in a player.

I really have an obsession with work rate and refuse to sign anyone with a work rate of 12 or less, unless it's a particularly gifted winger, but I would never dream of signing a midfielder or defender with poor work rate.

I just wondered if anyone else looked for an individual attribute in most players in their team, I can imagine Pace is a popular one

Are you Sam Allardyce by any chance? Signing players who are all graft and no technical ability

I tend to go for Determination - partly because that helps to define my squad's characteristic too.

Mostly just physical attributes - e.g. pace and jumping. I don't like defenders who can't jump and I don't like anyone with low pace unless I'm in a lowly league and can get a skillful ageing midfielder to stand in the middle of the pitch and just ping balls around the park

I'm blinded alot by technique and passing, often I find that no matter how gifted some people are, they can be lazy, inconsistent and lack teamwork..

I think so Michael,

it does tend to work, but it takes a couple of seasons.

I tell you what... I reckon it's because I've watched Neil Warnock for the past 8 years?

Determination. High determination means your players dig in more when defending a narrow lead, and try harder when you are losing - they react especially well to harsh half-time team talks.

Also, decisions and work rate for midfield. I had problems with Andreasen and other DMs and MCs dwelling on the ball too long. Seems to have an effect.

Composure for strikers, as well as pace and technical aspects.

I seem to orgasm over anyone with over 55 for Pace, Acceleration and Dribbling, regardless of where they play! Also have a thing for target men strikers, so strength, jumping, heading and off the ball.
