Poll The Monday Poll: Are they player attributes or player stats

[FuddledFox]

 This weeks question: What do you call the list of numbers on a players profile? are they Player Attributes or are they Player Stats?

 

I saw this being discussed on twitter within the PC FM community and I thought it would be good to get the answer from the (vastly superior) FMM community as well. The answer is kinda obvious but I definitely find myself using both words at times.

Haha, a hole I get myself into all the time! I'll often share a player and call his results his stats but I'll also call his profile his stats even though they're his attributes

So yeah I call them stats but I know they're attributes which is daft as I also call their results stats. I'm on the fence I suppose

LOL

Misread the topic. I thought you were asking if, when looking for a player, we look more into his attributes or his stats...and so I picked stats.

To answer your question, I say "atributos"  I'll let you figure out what that means because it's soooooooo hard to figure that one out

 

As a side poll, would be interesting to see if people value more player's attributes or stats. It's very common to see average players with incredible stats (30+ goals per season) and top players with crappy stats (10- goals per season).

I call them stats all the time, knowing that it isn't the right word but can't help! hahaha

[Woody]

Ive always said stats! But it is his attributes i guess.

So will forget this though when i post a career or anything ? and still post his 'stats'.

It’s attributes. There’s no debate to be had

Would anyone agree that the stat is the number that tells you how good an attribute is? All players have the same attributes but what defines them are the stats. I.e. you want to choose a striker you would likely choose the one who had better stats in his shooting and movement attributes.

Totally agree. I’ve always signed players who suit my formation and methodology. That’s why I’ve never signed Ronaldo, but i have always loved Suarez.

What I mean is that the attribute is passing, shooting, creativity etc and the stat is the number. So it is perfectly correct to say that you signed a player because his attribute stats were impressive. Or that a players stats intimates that he has all the attributes to be a successful target man. 

[McDonaI]

Therefore I would say, in answer to the question, that the numbers are stats. The attributes are the shooting, passing etc.

Where's the greens, blues and reds option?

I have never thought of it that way but that does make sense.

I use both - they're stats, and some of them are their key attributes for their role on the pitch

[BatiGoal]

Ok, a more serious approach.. 

• Attributes = skill points
• Stats = performance numbers

Anyone who confuses the two is a very poor manager. 

[Moe_Sakr]

Attributes all the way. Stats are performance based data.

[Woody]

I call them statributes. Or is it attribats? Sounds like a pair of South American strikers.

I remember Manual Statributes and Pedro Attribats they scored a load of goals for River Plate back in the 90s

[Rob]

Haha, both completed the 1kc challenge.

[McDonaI]

I feel this question is not being given the proper thought and respect it deserves.
