Football Manager Staff Attributes and Their Importance on the Coaching Stars Star Rating

Football Manager coaching areas

For the progress and development of the players to both reach their fullest potential and to improve on a daily basis, the quality of the coaching staff is of highly importance. Similar to the players player role rating, potential and ability star rating there exists a coaching star rating for the coaching staff. While players skills is sorted by player attributes, the backroom staff has a set of staff attributes which determines their best working area in training.

The best coaches of Football Manager is the ones who gives the highest rating in coaching stars, which is viewable in the staff’s coaching responsibilities or the coaching area overview. The coaching star rating is based on the level of staff attributes of the coaches for each coaching area and allows you to assign the coach to the focusing area he’s best at, either it’s to work on the attacking attributes of players within team training, or set to develop the tactical intelligence or physic of a group of players. Since you want to provide the best training for your players with coaches who can improve a player’s tactical, technical, physical and mental characteristics, you will need to assign the best coaches with the highest coaching star rating as possible. Not only one per working area, but several to ease the general workload for the coach to be the most efficient and increase the effect the team training has on each players development.

Football Manager staff attributes highlighted

In general, there are three mental attributes that are the most important to determine his basic level of coaching, whereas a minimum of one technical’ coaching attribute will determine his best focusing area. The most important staff attributes for highest coaching staff star ratings for team training are;

  • determination
  • level of discipline
  • motivation

The only important measure is the sum of these attributes. A high value for these attributes is recommended for all coach, also for lower league clubs. A high value makes the coach useful for many coaching categories. The lower value of these three mental attributes combined, the lower star rating and quality the coaches will get. As these mental attributes increases, the star rating improves. The coaching staff star rating ranges from 1 star in team training to 5 stars which can be regarded as elite coaching.

There are 9 coaching responsibility areas, or training categories which coaches can be assigned to. The team training’s coaching responsibilities is reachable under Training < Coaches. The screen will look something similar like this;

Football Manager training categories coaching star rating

Two of them are considered as specialist categories. The two main specialist categories are goalkeeping and fitness featuring two sub-categories each; strength and aerobic for fitness and handling and shot stopping for goalkeeping. The specialist categories requires specific coaches who will only work within that area, in difference to the general training categories since a general coach can be assigned to all nine training categories.

It’s the quality of each of these training categories the star rating details and will not only influence on a specific coaches qualifications to improve a player’s technical or physical area of the game, but also the coaches overall workload and their general rating of effectiveness.

Since backroom staff has a potential ability attached to them and will improve their current abilities (staff attributes) through improving their coaching badges and gaining experience, the coaching staff star rating formula explained below will provide you with a measurement on which training category he will be the most effective since you are finally able to get an exact number within each level of star rating. This may come in handy when a coach has three star rating at four different training categories and you don’t know which training category he will be the best at.

The formulas explained below are only true if you assign the coach to his best coaching category. If you assign him to more than one category, the star rating will decrease in additional to the general workload.

How to Use the Coaching Staff Star Rating Formula; An Example

Football Manager staff profile coaching attributes

In order to explain how it works, I have discovered this coach in my lower league management save and questions which training category he will be best at since Football Manager describes him to have a general coaching style. Since I’m currently looking for an attacking coach the calculation of his star rating for attacking training category will be;

(Attacking) 10 * 6 + (Tactical) 11 * 3 + (DDM) {13 + 17 + 6} * 2 = Y
60 + 33 + (36 * 2) = 165

By looking at the list provided below we can easily discover that the coach will be a 3 star attacking coach. If we should compare the coach with defending coaching we quickly discovers that he is only 3 points from being rated as a 3.5 star defending coach, which is rather great for lower league management, and could become a great bargain as the staff in question has only continental A licence, and may improve his abilities.


The Coaching Star Formula for Each Training Category

Fitness; Strength & Aerobic

Let us have a closer look to the first category. I will start with Strength and Aerobic (as they have the same formula). Besides DDM (short for determination, level of discipline and motivation) his level of fitness attributes plays a roll. In fact we have the following formula:

Fitness * 9 + ddm * 2

270 or higher = 5 stars
240-269 = 4.5 stars
210-239 = 4 stars
180-209 = 3.5 stars
150-179 = 3 stars
120-149 = 2.5 stars
90-119 = 2 stars
60-89 = 1.5 stars
30-59 = 1 stars
0-29 = 0.5 stars

Goalkeeping Coaches; Shot Stopping

There are five important attributes for this category. Besides DDM will also the goalkeepers and tactical attributes plays a role. The goalkeeper attributes is the most important one.

Goalkeepers * 8 + tactical * 3 + ddm * 3

360 or higher = 5 stars
320-359 = 4.5 stars
280-319 = 4 stars
240-279 = 3.5 stars
200-239 = 3 stars
160-199 = 2.5 stars
120-159 = 2 stars
80-119 = 1.5 stars
40-79 = 1 star
0-39 = 0.5 star

Goalkeeping Coaches; Handling

There is a small difference between Handling and Shot Stopping. The Football Manager staff attribute tactical is now replaced by the attribute technical. This difference explains why some coaches are better in Handling then Shot stopping (or the other way around).

Goalkeepers * 8 + technical * 3 + ddm * 3

360 or higher = 5 stars
320-359 = 4.5 stars
280-319 = 4 stars
240-279 = 3.5 stars
200-239 = 3 stars
160-199 = 2.5 stars
120-159 = 2 stars
80-119 = 1.5 stars
40-79 = 1 star
0-39 = 0.5 star

Tactical Coaches

This category is based on four attributes. DDM as always pluss the obvious tactical coaching attribute.

Tactical * 2 + ddm

90 or higher= 5 stars
80-89 = 4.5 stars
70-79 = 4 stars
60-69 = 3.5 stars
50-59 = 3 stars
40-49 = 2.5 stars
30-39 = 2 stars
20-29 = 1.5 stars
10-19 = 1 stars
0-9 = 0.5 stars

Ball control Coaches

A good coach for this category needs high DDM, and a high value for the technical and mental attribute. The technical attribute is the most important one.

Technical * 6 + mental * 3 + ddm * 2

270 or higher = 5 stars
240-269 = 4.5 stars
210-239 = 4 stars
180-209 = 3.5 stars
150-179 = 3 stars
120-149 = 2.5 stars
90-119 = 2 stars
60-89 = 1.5 stars
30-59 = 1 stars
0-29 = 0.5 stars

Defending Coaches

The category defending depends on five attributes. Besides the DDM attributes, also defending and tactical are important. The most important attribute is defending.

Defending * 8 + tactical * 3 + ddm * 3

360 or higher= 5 stars
320-359 = 4.5 stars
280-319 = 4 stars
240-279 = 3.5 stars
200-239 = 3 stars
160-199 = 2.5 stars
120-159 = 2 stars
80-119 = 1.5 stars
40-79 = 1 stars
0-39 = 0.5 stars

Attacking Coaches

The calculation for this category is based om DDM, attacking and tactical. The attacking attribute is the most obvious important one.

Attacking * 6 + tactical * 3 + ddm * 2

270 or higher = 5 stars
240-269 = 4.5 stars
210-239 = 4 stars
180-209 = 3.5 stars
150-179 = 3 stars
120-149 = 2.5 stars
90-119 = 2 stars
60-89 = 1.5 stars
30-59 = 1 stars
0-29 = 0.5 stars

Shooting Coaches

Technique * 6 + Attacking * 3 + ddm * 2

270 or higher = 5 stars
240-269 = 4.5 stars
210-239 = 4 stars
180-209 = 3.5 stars
150-179 = 3 stars
120-149 = 2.5 stars
90-119 = 2 stars
60-89 = 1.5 stars
30-59 = 1 stars
0-29 = 0.5 stars
