so and so is used to closing down more often...

hi guys, i play with 3 at the back, and often i get feedback from my Ass Man that Player X is used to closing down more often than being asked today.

These guys generally perform less well than the other players.

How can i tell from attributes, mentality, preferred moves what CBs are more used to less used to closing down??

To my knowledge, you can't. I think it's mainly a cultural thing, so for example most British players will be used to playing direct, quick tempo, pressing football, while Italians may be more used to short, slow tempo football and sitting back. It's just to do with style of play. Players will usually adapt to it after a while, and potentially depending on their adaptability attribute (which is hidden so you can't know it).
