Attributes to stop players being offside?

I seem to score a lot of goals from offside positions. What attributes would you recommend in a player to stop him being caught offside as often?

It's mainly down to you're tactics

Good anticipation would be a good start. Erm, can't really think of anything else, to tell you the truth.

That's not what he's asking.

If I look at the attributes, I think Off the Ball, Decisions and Anticipation will help.

Acceleration and pace could also help, in that a player may HAVE to start his run early if he can't get to the ball otherwise.

Tomer is correct - it's mental attributes that are important. However jamesberner is correct too - it could be your fault if you set his mentality too high. Drop a click or two, or change attack role to support.

Anticipation is the main one, others could have and effect.

There's a PPM about it, isn't there?

That only makes them be offside more

off the ball???

I actually thought positioning was the main stat to avoid it, but that's completely wrong it seems?

Bravo, what a nice post this is.

I read somewhere on this board that positioning is a defence-related stat.

It is.

And whoever posted anticipation and off the ball is correct, possibly decisions (not really sure) and of course tactics, PPMs, acceleration and pace could have some effect.

That was me

Does Tomer get a prize? A cookie at least?

Off the ball, anticipation and decisions. Off the ball is probably most important?

Off the ball is the most important to get into a good scoring position. I'd guess that in this case anticipation is the most important as the player needs to judge when to start his run (i.e. not too early).

Thanks for your help.
