Central Attacking Midfielder Recommended Positions: CAM/CF Height & Weight: 5’4, 119lbs Skill Points – Agility, Balance, Ball Control, Dribbling, Weak Foot, Skill Moves/Flair, Pace You can see my build here: Both the CAM and CF work brilliantly for centre attacking midfielders, with the former having an edge on passing, and the latter on shooting. For size, it is essential that you are as mobile as possible, so 5’4 and 119lbs is my preferred way to go. Strength shouldn't matter if the defenders can't get close to you! You have a few options for skill point allocation here, however I’d suggest pace, agility, ball control, balance and dribbling are a must have. I personally choose to run with 5* skills and the flair trait, however if you don’t think you will use them, there’s no point in getting them! 5* weak foot should be on your mind for all of your attacking builds, I also suggest the finesse shot trait, since it is only a few extra skill points. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to sacrifice some pace in favour of short passing and long passing, I’ve also chosen to put points into curve to help with long shots, crossing and free kicks.

Central Defensive Midfielder Recommended Positions: LB/RB/LWB/RWB/CM Height & Weight: 5’6/5’8/5’10/6'0, 119lbs/149lbs Skill Points – Stamina, Defending, Agility, Balance, Ball Control, Dribbling, Short Passing, Long Passing, Pace You can see my build here: In choosing a position here, I would highly recommend RB/LB/RWB/LWB over anything else. With a CDM, what you gain in short passing, you lose massively in pace and agility. Wing backs have better dribbing, crossing, and agility, whilst full backs have better defensive stats. I'd suggest anywhere from 5’6 – 6'0 , with a smaller build helping you track runs, and a larger build allowing you to dominate headers. I find a middle ground of 5’8 works best for me. For weight, again either 119bs or 149lbs works depending on your play style and what you are trying to achieve with your player. In terms of skill points, I’d recommend investing into all your physicals, defending, agility, balance, ball control, short passing, long passing and pace.

Full Back/Wing Back Recommended Positions: LB/RB/LWB/RWB Height & Weight: 5’4 /5’6, 119lbs/149lbs Skill Points – Strength, Jumping, Stamina, Defending, Agility, Balance, Dribbling, Ball Control, Crossing, Pace You can see my build here: The first thing to note with the full back positions, is that they are arguably the only position which require left footers for he left side, and right footers for the right side. Every other position either doesn’t pass/shoot too often, or should have 5* weak foot. The added dribbling and crossing stats from a LWB/RWB make them more appealing to me, however a LB/RB should work just fine here also. In terms of size, you need to keep up with wingers who often have up to 97 pace! Being a smaller player is essential, with it being your choice as to whether you want the increased physical and defensive stats that the 149lbs will bring you over a 119lbs build. For skill points, you will want to invest heavily into stamina and defending. Agility, balance, ball control and dribbling are all well worth investing into. I’d suggest putting points into your crossing (and by proxy curve), then spending everything you can on pace!

Quick Links Centre Back Full Back/Wing Back Central Defensive Midfielder Centre Midfielder Central Attacking Midfielder Winger Forward/Striker Intro This is a short guide containing information to help you get the most out of your Pro Clubs player. It isn’t intended to force you to play a certain way, rather to give you my personal opinions at to what works best for each spot on the pitch. There are three main elements which make up your pro, which are position, height/weight, and skill points. I will give my recommendations on these for each spot on the pitch (excluding the GK). Player Position To support of these recommendations, I went ahead and created a fresh pro on the PS5 version of the game, to get an idea as to the base attributes of each position. I then created this spreadsheet, which shows the differences in stats across the positions, for a player who is 5’10 and 99lbs. These stats will increase naturally as you play more games but should give a general idea. It is important to note, these stats can change dramatically with height and weight (for example a CB is the weakest at 99bs, but the strongest at 249lbs). Height & Weight Obviously, the taller and heavier your player, the better his physicals but the lower his pace. Whilst it is possible to play with a larger build (just look at James), most players will struggle. On the subject of height, your stats change with every 2” you add/decrease. There is no benefit to being 5’11 over 6’0 for example as your stats will be the same, but you will be losing an inch (and who can afford that?). Always make sure your pros height ends with an even number! Throughout the guide, I’ll be recommending ither 119lbs or 149lbs on each build. There is no difference from 99lbs to 119lbs, and from 121lbs to 149lbs however. Skill Points You will earn skill points simply by playing games, up to a cap of 110. Your stats will continue to grow naturally after you hit the cap however. Second Wind I did want to leave a note regarding second wind here, before I get into the builds. The trait increases energy at the end of a match. If you are consistently finding yourself with no stamina at the end of a game, it’s worth considering throwing this trait on. Whilst I feel I can effectively manage my stamina without it (and therefore don’t include it in my own builds), it can be a life-saver for some!
