Technique is a dynamic individual player value that applies to all players regardless of their position.
It represents how consistently and cleanly a player executes actions such as passing, tackling, keeping, playmaking, and scoring.
The Technique enhances a player’s primary skill, directly influencing their performance in matches.
The current range of Technique skill is 1 to 100.
Technique has a direct impact on your players’ main skill of the position
The visible strength in the squad view and player detail is not affected by this skill, the Technique improves the effective strength during matches, and depending on the value the player has the actual impact can be observed only in the live ticker, match report and individual player statistics
The bonus is applied as a percentage boost to the player’s main skill:
Minimum bonus starts at Technique 21
Maximum bonus reached at Technique 100
The bonus is calculated using a progressive stacking system:
This means that each value has specific impact on its own (Careful: smaller impacts may be hard to spot)
Starting with the Technique skill value 21 and up player can receive only positive effect.
There is no negative effect if the Technique level is lower than 21
There are several factors that impact the Technique value of your players.
Players can increase their Technique by using the Technique training program in the General training program section:
Progress possible until age 31, no training progress after
Provides steady Technique growth
A player will better improve his technique if he is highly motivated (Morale 80+)
When a player participates in official matches, their Technique increases depending on the minutes played.
Formula:
Minutes played / 120 × Match Factor
League matches
Factor: 0.16
Cup matches
Factor: 0.28
International Master matches
Factor: 0.18
Example:
A player playing 90 minutes in a League match gains +0.125 Technique
Additional gains are awarded based on performance:
Scoring goals: +0.05 per goal
Winning a match by 3+ goals difference provides a small bonus for lined up players.
If a player does not participate in the Technique training program:
After 7 days:
Instant value drop: -0.500
After that:
Daily decrease: -0.025
The counter resets as soon as Technique training is resumed.
If a player is not lined up in the official matches:
After 12 matches without playing:
Instant drop: -0.700 (on 12th match)
Further additional absence after increases the decline:
Additional -0.05 per match (not in line up) (up to a maximum of -0.500 extra loss)
Absence of above 22 matches in a row will produce heavy technique loss for each missed match, which is calculated based on the formula (mentioned above in the support article)+ 0.500 ( e.g., for a league match: (90 / 120 × 0.16) + 0.500 = 0.62 loss))
Important:
Being on the bench does not count as playing
Playing even one match stops the decline and penalties
Friendly and practice matches are not considered official matches
Yellow and Red cards received in the official matches negatively impact Technique.
Injuries cause an immediate Technique decrease depending on duration; the longer the injury, the higher the loss.
During injury:
Technique training is paused
No Technique gains are possible
Morale
Morale also affects Technique progression:
Morale above 80 → training gain bonus
Morale 30 or lower → Technique cannot increase
Decline from inactivity (training or matches) can stack over time
Playing a single match immediately stops the match-related decline
Training Technique for at least one day resets the no-training penalty counter
The accumulated individual player counter for not playing in official matches (12+ matches) is reset to 0 at the start of each new season
Technique skill is visible in the player's details inside the visualized skills pentagon.
Technique skill can also be observed in the squad overview.
Training -> Individual values allow the selection of the Technique filter and see the progression line for each player
However, its impact on performance is only visible during matches:
Reflected in match reports, individual statistics and live ticker events
Not shown in squad overview or base strength calculations
