Well I've bought a winger and intend to buy another so was just seeing what bonuses they could get really. A skill boost a year isn't anything to be sniffed at.

How can i improve my tactic skill? I swear it hasn't changed for ages and I have been using the same one repeatedly since it was introduced!

I think that has to do with player attributes. If you want better AIM or AOW, your inner mids need passing to convert those attacks. Something like that.

I think, tactic skill for AIM, AOW, CA is sum of all passing skills (IIRC defenders count twice for CA)

Pressing depends on stamina level of all your players (+something with defenders as well)

So, to get better skill, you need better players...

AIM and AOW is passing of all squad

CA is passing and defending of defenders

pressing is defending of all players and you need more stamina for your player not to loose abillity during the match

Cool, cheers guys. Working on passing the season after this coming one so hopefully should start going up then!

AOW/AIM Tactics level = [sum of passing]/5 - 2

Sum of Passing skills of your players (excluding the GK):

30 - Weak Tactic level
35 - Inadequate
40 - Passable
45 - Solid
50 - Excellent
55 - Formidable
60 - Outstanding
65 - Brilliant
70 - Magnificent
75 - WorldClass
80 - Supernatural
85 - Titanic
90 - Extra-Terrestrial
95 - Mythical
100 - Magical
105 - Utopian
110 - Divine.

Example: Sum of Passing for your players is 60.
Formula: [sum of Passing]/5 - 2 = 60/5 - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10
So your AOW/AIM tactical skill is Outstanding (10).

CA Level Formula = 0,017272a + 1,042313
where a = sum of [Form{(2*defense passing skills)+(defense defending)}]
