- Shooting: especially attack positioning, finishing and shot power.
- Dribbling: pay special attention to the agility and balance stats so that the player does not move sluggishly.
- Weaker leg stars: preferably 4 or 5 so that you don't have to worry about putting the ball to the player's better leg before shooting.
- Work rate: greater work rate in attack than in defense, preferably high/low.
It should be noted here that in FIFA 23, there will be many slower strikers, such as Harry Kane or Robert Lewandowski, who finish the action very well - you should still give them a chance.

Many formations in FIFA 23 feature either wingers (RW/LW) or side midfielders (RM/LM). If you like to play on the sides, they will be the key players in your team.
