By selecting a player's Personality and Media Handling Style, you can estimate key hidden attributes such as Professionalism, Ambition and Determination - vital indicators for player development, mentoring success, and long‑term potential.

This tool helps you quickly assess which players are best suited to high standards of training and progression, identify elite personalities for mentoring groups, and understand why certain prospects improve faster than others. It's especially useful at the start of a save, during recruitment, and when building development plans for wonderkids.

Every player has a Media Handling Style and a Personality. Looking at those allows to draw conclusions about the player's hidden attributes.

If just one attribute changes by 1, your player's Personality can already change. For example, a player going from 15 to 14 Sportsmanship will make him not show up as a "Model Citizen" anymore but as "Spirited". A player's personality is descriptive, it only gives information about their personality attributes but has no effect outside of this.

Generally, the best personalities in FM26 are: Model Citizen, Model Professional, Professional, Perfectionist and Resolute.

The best Media Handling Styles are generally those that include "Evasive" or "Reserved", as these indicates a high level of Professionalism

Professionalism, Ambition and Determination are generally considered to be most important for a player.

While Football Manager internally uses the attribute "Controversy" where a lower rating is more desirable, we have decided to flip it around to be more consistent with how other attributes work.
