Most important skills for defenders

By jonathanlu1207 - 07-07-2020 19:52

What are the most important skills (e.g. Speed, Stamina, Play Intelligence, etc.) that defenders must have in order to perform well? I am asking because it seems that my team's defense often performs poorly during matches.What are the most important skills (e.g. Speed, Stamina, Play Intelligence, etc.) that defenders must have in order to perform well?

I guess it depends on the tactics, and how high/low you keep them. In my mind, a good defender starts from at least 8 stamina/speed/tackling, and to become even better, it should focus on play intelligence >ball control > heading > passing afterwards. Curiously, one of my best defenders has only 6 speed, but a lot of balls in lay intelligence >ball control > heading > passing. But..I may be wrong.I guess it depends on the tactics, and how high/low you keep them.

Thanks rcostel. The tactic I usually use is like a 3-2-1-2-2 or a 3-5-2 with 3 defenders, 2 defensive midfielders, 1 central midfielder, 2 attacking midfielders, and 2 forwards.Thanks rcostel.
