Should there be 2 work rate attributes (offensive-defensive)

[dieguitoch]

Hello,

As I write in the title, I think that there should be two separate work rate attributes as there are player who only work in one direction (cf. Mbappé, Messi, etc.) !... What do you think ?

I think no - unneeded and unnecessary.

The work rate attributes is about 'the urgency with which a player gets to where they’re supposed to be in all situations'. Surely the player role you choose already determines what they should be contributing defensively or offensively, as opposed to the work rate.

When a player doesn't like to work they don't like to work either.

You do already have some other attributes related to offensive and defensive work ethic respectively

High Off the Ball will make the sort of player that does little in defence make a lot of runs to get away from their marker in attack (see: Messi), and lots of PPMs will encourage them to run forward early in attacks, whilst Aggression and Bravery boost the willingness of a player that doesn't otherwise run much to press and challenge their immediate opponent, and Positioning their willingness to get back to the right part of the pitch as soon as possible.
