Manager and player styles.

IRl recently there has been alot of talk about teams and player beeing dirty or to aggresive, In FM if your not a rich club and cant afford the most skillfull players does buying a team of thugs and aggresive players have an effect on tactics or is Fm purly about the best 11 players with hi CA and a good attacking tactic.?

Don't players have an aggresive attribute. They also have a hidden dirtyness attribute.

yes i know, it wasnt really what i was asking to be fair..

Hard tackling can intimidate opponents who aren't too brave.

Yeah you can "get at sides" so to speak by using hard tackling on their players who aren't so brave or by playing direct/long ball football with physically stronger players

I had some lower league success with a slow passing game, so it's not true that a low budget team will inevitably be 11 thugs. That said, I also had two central midfielders who kicked everything that moved and collected yellow cards like crazy. You need to have a balance.

Great players don't mean nothing in a useless tactic. So no, its not just about buying the best money can get you. Its about playing to your strengths after analysing your own squad. If that means you play hard and direct, so be it.
