Why must a striker defend and a defender have to attack..? It shouldn't even contribute to that specific position...
You can have up to a 20 point gap.
Go ahead and try that and see how well your guys do.
Here's a breakdown of the attributes:
Defence
Defence determines the player's defensive attributes.
- Tackling – Determines how well a player is capable of executing a successful tackle on an opponent without committing a foul or injury.
- Marking – Determines how well a player can mark an opponent and how well he can use zonal marking.
- Positioning – Determines how well a player positions himself to deal with attacking threats.
- Heading – Determines how well a player is capable of heading the ball towards his target.
- Handling – Determines how well a player is able to keep the ball when tackled.
Attack
Attack determines the player's offensive attributes.
- Passing – Determines how accurately a player can pass the ball.
- Dribbling – Determines how well a player can control the ball when running with it.
- Crossing – Determines how well a player is capable of placing a well-aimed cross at the right time.
- Shooting - Determines how well a player is capable of placing a strong, good shot.
- Finishing – Determines how well a player is capable of reacting quickly and adapting to any offensive situation.
Physical & Mental
Physical & Mental determine your player's supplemental attributes.
- Fitness – Determines how hard your player can exert himself on the pitch.
- Strength – Determines how well a player is able to exert his physical force onto an opponent in order to hold them off, win tackles and aerial balls, etc.
- Aggression – Determines how much a player asserts himself on the pitch. Does not necessarily raise the chance of fouls or injuries.
- Speed - Determines the player's speed on the pitch. A player moves faster without a ball than with it.
- Creativity – Determines how many opportunities a player will find to use his other abilities.
With Heading being a defensive attribute I like to keep the 'Defence' up near the 'Attack' rating - Strikers don't always score with their feet...
It depends if you want a Drogba type player who can head the ball and a battering ram this would work best using long ball tactics, Or a poacher type player like Raul for Real Madrid in this heyday who was a goal poacher.
Make sure your players' skills are as balanced as possible. That makes a team as strong as possible on both ends of the pitch.
A striker can help the defence and win the ball back for the counter. A central defender can feed the ball to the attack and provide assists.
At the other end of the spectrum, a defender whose attacking skills are not up to par may be unable to build from the back. A striker with low defensive skills may make bad tackles and concede free kicks. You don't want that.
the 20 point gap would now explain why I can't inc my def abilities (I haven't been able since I won at auction)
Def: 41.4
Att: 21.4
Phy & Men: 25.8
For level 3 his Defense is outstanding... but the other attributes are keeping him at 4 stars although he'd training hard!

Pretty much, yep D is most then Phys. That's how I normally aim, but I have also had one with even stats that did FK/PK successfully.
Thank you!
