Individual Role Focuses
Some individual role focuses train more attributes than others but a player will spend the same amount of time on his additional focus whichever focus is set. As such, those focuses that train a lesser number of attributes will have a greater effect on each individual attribute trained than those focuses that train a greater number of attributes. Therefore, when choosing a focus to train particular attributes you should try to choose one that trains fewer “excess” attributes.
A player does not need to actually be used in a role as part of your tactics to train the related individual role focus, but he does need to be competent or better in a position in which the role can be assigned. Otherwise, you should select a different focus or perhaps weigh up the benefits of training him in the necessary position first before assigning the focus later. You can view a player’s positional familiarities on the Information section of his Overview tab.
The attributes trained by each individual role focus are as follows:
