Almost exclusively referred to as sliders, Team Style takes the form of eight adjustable team attributes which can freely be changed from 0 to 20. The attributes will largely dictate the style of football a team plays during a match.
Team Style

Description
|
Player Support
|
The higher the value, the more the players lay emphasis on ball retention when positioning themselves. On a lower level, they will look to maintaining the team's overall shape.
|
Support Range
|
The higher the level, the more players tend to spread themselves out when looking to receive passes.
|
Position Switch
|
The higher the level, the more frequently the players switch positions.
|
Front line pressure
|
The higher the level, the more pressure that will be applied by players in advanced positions.
|
Defensive Line
|
The higher the level, the further up the pitch the defensive line will be.
|
Defensive Compactness
|
The higher the level, the more compact the team's overall shape becomes when defending.
|
Shifting to Attack
|
The higher the level, the more the players tend to maraud forward when defence turns into attack. Conversely on a lower level, the players will tend to lay more emphasis on retaining possession and will position themselves in such a manner.
|
Attack/Defence Level
|
The higher the level, the more the players tend to take up advanced positions. This affects the number of players who join the attack in set pieces.
