The Definitive Guide to Current Ability in Football Manager

In this guide, we'll show you how current ability (CA) is calculated based on a player's attributes and position. We also provide a handy chart showing the attribute weights for all positions and a tool for calculating your squad's current ability.

Football Manager Guides - The Definitive Guide to Current Ability in Football Manager
You can calculate the CA of your entire squad using our current ability calculator. You can either upload the attributes of your entire squad using one of the handy squad views provided or else manually enter the attributes of a single player.

Note that the tool assumes that a player has a single, natural position. Players who are at least competent in more than one position may have a higher in-game CA. Also, the tool cannot extract the exact value of the player's weaker foot attribute which may lead to a few points difference with the in-game CA.

Feel free to comment and provide feedback in the forum.

Please note that the tool currently only works when you use English as the game language.

    Interesting article! I've always thought that Teamwork was a "free attribute", so to speak, as well, but apprently I was wrong!
