Strengths, areas to work on and career by position

What you'll learn

  • How strengths and areas to work on are suggested
  • How to read career by position
  • What the profile's latest matches and attendance mean

Strengths and areas to work on looks at the last 5 answers to each question for the player:

  • Suggested strength: the question was "Yes" in at least 4 of its last 5 answers. Example: *Saves · Technical · Yes in 4 of 5*.
  • Suggested area to work on: the question was "No" in at least 3 of its last 5 answers. Example: *Leadership · Mental · No in 4 of 5*.
  • Technical and tactical questions depend on the position played, so only those of the positions the player has played appear.
  • These are the club's provisional thresholds (set by Sports Direction). A member of the coaching staff confirms each suggestion before using it.

Suggested strengths and career by position

Career by position splits performance by the position played in each match (not the usual one):

  • Matches and minutes played in that position, and the average total score.
  • Small sample: fewer than 3 matches in that position; the figure is not yet representative.
  • Compare positions carefully: technical and tactical questions differ by position. The physical, mental and socio-affective pillars are comparable.
  • Playing in another position does not change the player's usual position.

Latest matches and attendance: minutes, goals, assists and the score of each recent match, and the share of the season's trainings the player attended (present or late count as attending).

Tip

Use strengths and areas to work on to prepare the conversation with the player: start with what they do well and pick one or two areas for the next block of trainings.

Recap

  • Strength: "Yes" in 4 of the last 5; area to work on: "No" in 3 of the last 5
  • They are suggestions; the coaching staff confirms them
  • By position: compare carefully and watch for small samples
