Always make sure the P&M is the highest rated stat group. For ST's and AM's, invest in Attack and P&M only, with P&M 2-3 points higher, and don't waste points on defence. For GK's, replace Attack with Defence, and leave P&M 0-2 points higher. For other players, the optimum P&M-ATK-DEF ratio is specific to the player. For CM's and RM/LM's, ATK shouldn't be lower than DEF, and P&M needs to be at least 1pt higher than the higher of the other two stat groups, and possibly as high as 5pts above the higher remaining stat group. For DM's and defenders, at no point should attack be more than a point higher than defence, and for some defenders, attack can be completely ignored. DMC's should generally have defence 1-5 points above attack, and P&M 2-5 points higher again, although some players can have much higher differences. Fullbacks have similar guidelines, although some perform more like wingbacks and can have attack at the same level as defence, although the P&M buffer needs to be increased to compensate for the reduced defensive capabilities. For DC's, some need to be treated like DMC's and fullbacks, but most perform best when attack is completely ignored.
