And now for something else: Side backs.

First, I'll define side backs as players with their primarily function to avoid conceding team goals. That makes things a bit easier.

Remember when I said that jumping was the most important attribute for side backs? Well, I was wrong. Partly. Jumping is the most important attribute for improving a side back's average rating.

Jumping is the 7th most important attribute if you don't want to concede team goals!

Looking at the most important attributes for DL/DRs if you want to score team goals however, jumping is still the most important one. I guess this comes down to the now-fixed corner exploit where many of the cornerbangers were actually side backs.

So what is the main attribute you should look for if you want your side backs to concede less team goals?
Well, it's not a technical attribute, neither is it a mental one.. ;)
