The last two parts of my Position Guide is about different types of forwards in a team. The first type is so called "quick forwards". It demands the following attributes to have high values:

Most important attributes

Pace & Acceleration – very important attributes if you need a quick striker. With high values of them he will be able to move faster than opponent’s defenders getting often into the box and having one-on-ones.

Finishing – vital for every striker. If your forward can’t shoot the ball and score, he is bad one.

First Touch – passing and shooting making just one touch is very good and leads to quick and one-touch goals.

Dribbling – ability to get the ball past the opponent using technical tricks on speed.

Off The Ball – making good runs into space, taking the best attacking position.

Technique – high technique of forward is important for better control of the ball.

Less important attributes

Agility – How agile the player is. Most likely accompanied with high acceleration and pace.

Composure – important when forward is in front of goal.

Decisions – taking correct and creative decisions will lead to dangerous attacks.

Passing & Creativity – good passing and creativity allows to make effective combinations in attack.

Flair – ability to perform unexpected flamboyant attacking actions. This gives some diversity during attacks and simply beautiful football moments J
