I just answered them myself. I don''t think this info can be extracted from fm. Might be wrong tough.

Yeah, same here. Took those numbers from my own head

I remember I could use FMscout to see my "traits", so we can wait until then. But I'm not sure if they're dynamic or set in default at the start.

The brackets = PRE-14, when it was actually reasonably possible to poach. I still sign players, but they have to have the potential AND be available thesedays so it deserves knocking down.

Signs Domestic Based Players - 3

Managing a world class team (Man U) in the EPL in the year 2055, I find almost all the top regens are from other countries

Spends A Lot On Youth Signings - 16

Will rarely buy anyone over 21 years of age, but it has happened on a few occasions.

Signs A Lot Of Youth Players - 16

This question seems very similar to the prior one

Signs Young Players For The First Team - 1

Not sure what this means, does it mean directly to the first team or what? Cause that never happens.

Uses Budget On One Player - 5

Tough one. I have £500 million for transfer funds now, after 15 years with the same club, so thats not gonna happen. But when money was tighter, I could do this.

Has A Large Senior Squad - 10

Not really. I only keep the ones in there who will have a realistic chance of playing. The rest will be in the U21.

Will Use Young Players In Low Priority Cup Matches - 18

Absolutely. I can forego this policy if I have a good backup who is older if I feel he's not getting enough playtime, so couldn't rate it 20.

Will Not Have A Substitute Goalkeeper - 20

Yeah, never ever.

Will Make Early Tactical Changes - 2

Almost never. Only if I see something is clearly wrong and we're being completely outplayed, but tbh that's very rare.

Will Use Zonal Marking For Set Pieces - ?

I have no idea.

Will Fit Players Into Preferred Tactic - 18

Yep. My tactic and formation is the only consistent thing throughout my years with the club. I've found a winning tactic and with a team full of superstars, any moves the opposition AI can pull out of its sleeve will be countered by my formation and my team of superstars.

Will Use Target Man - 1

Never.

Will Use Counter Attacking - 19

Every game! However, if I'm desperate to equalize I can switch to overload, attacking or control just to test things out. Rarely works though. Counter is where it's at.

Signs Lower League Players - 2

They can't make it here. The exception to the rule was one central defender that I got from Skybet championship ages ago, and he didnt even become good.

I remember I could use FMscout to see my "traits", so we can wait until then. But I'm not sure if they're dynamic or set in default at the start.

pretty sure they increase with experience (because in FM Scout mangers have a CA/PA rating).

You can add another manager to your save and look at your manager's attributes/stats, I think, or DL FM Scout and look with it.

I'll also go the route that a poster did earlier in the thread and add in some reasoning.

Signs Domestic Based Players - 4

- I only sign domestic players if they have the skill to help me out long term. Otherwise, it's mostly younger players from other countries.

Spends A Lot On Youth Signings - 20

- I am always making deals with the future in mind...and to get that future, you have to spend.

Signs A Lot Of Youth Players - 20

- Ties in with the spending a lot on youth signings. I like to grab a bunch of youth players the other clubs don't want and turn them into quality players.

Signs Young Players For The First Team - 19

- See above. The youth signings are with the intention that they be able to play some first team football within a season or two, and be full-fledged first team regulars within 4 seasons. Otherwise, cut bait.

Uses Budget On One Player - 13

- If a player comes up that's good enough to be a big help to the team, I have no problem spending the entire load. I prefer not to though.

Has A Large Senior Squad - 9

- Really depends on the amount of injuries I get throughout the season. I do like to rotate players in and out to get them experience though.

Will Use Young Players In Low Priority Cup Matches - 20

- How will a young player learn if they are not afforded the opportunity to play? Early round cup matches allow me that opportunity to see what a young player can do.

Will Not Have A Substitute Goalkeeper - 1

- I rarely, if ever, bring a sub keeper on...but I like to be covered just in-case. Not all of us can be Cosmin Moti.

Will Make Early Tactical Changes - 7

- Not often, but if I see something that's blatantly wrong, I will not hesitate to fix it.

Will Use Zonal Marking For Set Pieces - 9

- Eh, I like my players to man-mark on set pieces. Doesn't mean I won't switch to zonal if things aren't working out.

Will Fit Players Into Preferred Tactic - 20

- It's up to the players to adapt to the tactics, not the tactics to adapt to the player.

Will Use Target Man - 6

- I don't usually have much success using target men. Frankly, I don't care where the ball goes as long as it eventually ends up in the back of the opposition net.

Will Use Counter Attacking - 11

- If the situation calls for a counter, then I'll use it. Otherwise, nope.

Signs Lower League Players - 12

- I do that mostly to get around domestic player requirements. On the occasions that the players do get onto the pitch, they don't do too badly.
