This all started out as a project where i myself weren't sure what role and duty i should play a certain player in so i build an application that you enter your players skills into and it calculates a "key index" for each role and duty available.
This is in no way any certain fact that he will preform best in that role and duty, i've just taken the prioritized stats from FM2011 for each role and duty, there might be other important stats the each role and duty will benfit from but i guess this should give you a certain clue about where to play your players.
Some quick instructions on how to use the application.
1. Surf with your favorite web browser to http://www.thoor.se/jonas/fm2011/. UPDATE - Had to move the page to a more dedicated webserver due to the massive amount of traffic, thanks for the intrest in the tool!
2. Choose if you want to check a Goalkeeper or Outfielder by clicking the tab of your choise (i've split them up since they have diffrent stats in the game).
3. Click the "Load values!" button and enter your players skill values in a long string seperated by spaces i.e. 10 13 14 16 9 2, keep in mind that you must include all 36 skills for a player and they need to be a value between 1-20 the order should be Goalkeeping/Technical Attributes from top to bottom then Mental Attributes from top to bottom then Physical Attributes from top to bottom. Click another "Load values!" button and your inputed stats should appear on the screen, if they look correct click "Calculate!".
4. Now a dialog window will appear with prefered roles and duties, if you chose to check your Goalkeeper just 1 column will appear, if you chose Outfielder you will get 3 columns, 1 for Defender roles and duties, 1 for Midfielder roles and duties, 1 for Striker roles and duties.
Suggestions on how to improve this are welcome, unconstructive posts will be ignored.
EXPORT/IMPORT FUNCTION
I finally managed to parse the exported Text File from FM player profile for direct import into the calculator, on how to export your players attributes to a text file i've made a few screenshots to better show you all, after you saved the file localy on your computer just go to the calculator and use the new field under the quick load and browse to your exported FM profile file and click "Load values from file" this should work exactly like the quick load but without having to input a single number.
REMEMBER!!! Loading a Goalkeeper in the Outfielder-tab and vice versa wont work!!!
Check the attached files export_step[1-4].jpg for more information!!!
TEAM KEY HOW TO
In the informations-tab of the calculator you can now click a button called "Get Team Key" to get your own unique key that you can add when saving completly inputed attributes to your own Team!
Input the attributes like before with either the quick loader or by doing it manualy, when the attributes are loaded click the "Add player to your team"-button, enter your Team Key that you generated, enter the players name, select his position Goalkeeper/Outfielder and click "Add player"-button, the player is now added to your own Team Key-list.
To quickly load this players attributes into the calculator just go to the Information-tab click "Load my team"-button enter your Team Key and voila the players are there select either to load the attributes into the calculator or delete the player from your list.
!!!KEEP TRACK OF YOUR TEAM KEY!!!
UPDATES
* Noticed i missed Attacking Midfielder, added it. (2010-11-16)
* Updated the interface for Quick load, no longer a own popup window instead available right over the attributes. (2010-11-17)
* Updated the interface for attributes, you can now enter/edit a value manually or use the newly added -/+ signs to step up/down the value. (2010-11-17)
* Added a filter for Outfielders, you can now chose to show Defender/Midfielder/Striker in your calculation, this should also speed up the loading of result windows some if you pick just one position. (2010-11-17)
* Added a slider to allow for limited number of hits in the calculation. (2010-11-17)
* Added a information tab with some short information along with quick instructions on how to use the calculator. (2010-11-17)
* Added a !-icon in the result window that when you hover it shows you the prioritized attributes for that Role and Duty. (2010-11-17)
* Added a function to request your own Team Key a unique key that you keep track of that makes it possible to save your favourite players attributes in your own Team list to be loaded quick and smooth into the calculator for later use!!! (2010-11-18)
On the todo list is:
* Perhaps add a Name field and start saving calculations for public search availabilty
!!!LIKE STATED PREVIOUSLY THIS IS IN NO WAY 100% CORRECT AND JUST GUIDELINES FOR WHAT POSITION YOUR PLAYERS WILL PREFORM BEST IN!!!
