The Ultimate Guide to Hidden Attributes in Football Manager

Learn how hidden attributes like consistency, ambition, and professionalism affect player performance in Football Manager to gain a competitive edge.
Football Manager Hidden Attributes Guide

Unlock the hidden attributes in Football Manager that affect your players’ performance both on and off the pitch, and use them to your advantage.


What Are Hidden Attributes in Football Manager? In Football Manager, some attributes are hidden from view, but they have a huge impact on how a player performs both on and off the pitch. These hidden attributes influence how well a player handles pressure, how likely they are to get injured, how professional they are in their development, and even how dirty they might be on the field. In this guide, we’ll break down each hidden attribute and show you how to use them to build a more balanced and successful squad.

How can you see hidden attributes?


In the default Football Manager view, you can’t directly see these hidden attributes. However, you can reveal them through the use of external tools like the FM Real Time Editor or FM Genie Scout, or by using in-game editor if they are enabled. Additionally, scouts and coaches with high Judging Player Ability or Judging Player Potential can provide reports that hint at some of these hidden attributes, especially regarding consistency, professionalism, or injury proneness.

1. Consistency: Performing at a High Level Regularly


Consistency is how often a player performs at their best level. A player with high consistency will deliver strong performances game after game, while a player with low consistency might have more off days.

  • [message]
    • Pro Tip:
      • Players with high consistency are ideal for key roles in your squad. For those with lower consistency, use them sparingly or in rotation to avoid dips in form.

2. Ambition: The Drive to Succeed


Ambition shows how much a player wants to achieve success in their career. Ambitious players are driven to win trophies and improve themselves, which can lead to better performances and development.

  • [message]
    • Pro Tip:
      • Ambitious players are more likely to push themselves in training and matches. However, they might seek transfers to bigger clubs or demand higher wages, so be prepared to manage their career aspirations.

3. Controversy: Handling the Media and Public


Controversy measures how outspoken or difficult a player can be with the media and in general. Players with high controversy are more likely to cause disruptions or make headlines for the wrong reasons.

  • [message]
    • Pro Tip:
      • Keep an eye on players with high controversy, especially when it comes to media interactions. They may need more careful management to avoid disrupting team harmony.

4. Dirtiness: Willingness to Bend the Rules


Dirtiness refers to how often a player will look to break the rules during a match, like committing fouls or diving. Dirty players may win you games by bending the rules, but they can also cost you with cards and suspensions.

  • [message]
    • Pro Tip:
      • Players with high dirtiness can be useful in more physical or aggressive roles but make sure their fouls don’t cost you in critical moments. Use them strategically in high-stakes matches.

5. Important Matches: Thriving Under Pressure


Important Matches measures how well a player performs in big, high-pressure games. A player with high important matches will deliver top performances in finals, derbies, and high-stakes fixtures.

  • [message]
    • Pro Tip:
      • For cup finals, derbies, or big league matches, select players with high important matches. They’re more likely to handle the pressure and deliver when it counts.

6. Injury Proneness: Likelihood of Getting Injured


Injury Proneness measures how likely a player is to get injured. A high injury proneness means they’re more fragile, while a low score means they’re more durable and less likely to miss games.

  • [message]
    • Pro Tip:
      • Players with high injury proneness should be managed carefully. Rotate them often and avoid overloading them with too many matches or intense training sessions to reduce the risk of long-term injuries.




7. Loyalty: Commitment to the Club


Loyalty measures how willing a player is to stay at their current club, even if a more lucrative or attractive offer comes in. Players with high loyalty are less likely to push for transfers.

  • [message]
    • Pro Tip:
      • High loyalty is great for building a stable squad. You can rely on loyal players to stay with your club long-term, even when bigger clubs come calling.

8. Pressure: Performing in Tough Situations


Pressure measures how well a player can handle stressful and challenging situations, such as being behind in a game or facing tough opposition. Players with high pressure can stay calm and composed, even in difficult circumstances.

  • [message]
    • Pro Tip:
      • For games where your team is expected to face tough opposition or high pressure, choose players with high pressure. They’re more likely to perform well under stress and help turn the tide.

9. Professionalism: Approach to Training and Development


Professionalism measures how seriously a player takes their job, particularly in terms of training and development. Highly professional players work hard in training and are more likely to improve over time.

  • [message]
    • Pro Tip:
      • Young players with high professionalism are more likely to reach their potential. Prioritise these players for long-term development, as they’ll take training seriously and grow faster.

10. Sportsmanship: Fair Play on the Pitch


Sportsmanship refers to a player’s attitude toward fair play. A player with high sportsmanship will be honest on the field, while a player with low sportsmanship might try to gain an advantage through unethical behaviour, like diving.

  • [message]
    • Pro Tip:
      • If you value clean, fair play, look for players with high sportsmanship. However, players with lower sportsmanship can still be useful in tougher, more aggressive matches where pushing the limits is an advantage.

11. Temperament: Staying Calm Under Pressure


Temperament measures how calm and composed a player stays in specific situations, such as tackles or confrontations with opponents. Players with poor temperament may lose their cool, resulting in fouls or bookings.

  • [message]
    • Pro Tip:
      • For important or heated games, pick players with high temperament to avoid unnecessary fouls and suspensions. These players are less likely to react emotionally and can keep their heads in tough situations.

12. Versatility: Adapting to New Positions


Versatility measures how well a player can perform in positions outside their natural role and how quickly they can adapt to new positions on the pitch.

  • [message]
    • Pro Tip:
      • Versatile players are incredibly valuable, especially in smaller squads. They can fill multiple roles, giving you more flexibility with tactics and formations.

13. Adaptability: Fitting into New Environments


Adaptability measures how well a player can settle into new environments, whether it's joining a new club, moving to a new country, or adapting to different cultures and playing styles. Players with low adaptability might struggle when playing abroad or in unfamiliar leagues.

  • [message]
    • Pro Tip:
      • When signing foreign players, look for high adaptability if you're bringing them to a new country or league. Players with low adaptability might take longer to settle, which could affect their performance.

Conclusion


Hidden attributes in Football Manager are crucial for understanding the complete picture of your players. They can make the difference between a player who thrives in tough situations and one who crumbles under pressure. By knowing how to manage hidden attributes like consistency, ambition, and loyalty, you can create a more balanced and competitive squad. Use this knowledge to maximise player potential, avoid issues like injuries or suspensions, and ensure your team stays focused on success.
