Team Playstyle Proficiency
Every Team Playstyle for Niko Kovač, strongest first. The bar is the proficiency — the higher it is, the more of your squad’s stats reach the +2 and +3 bands.
What proficiency 90 does to each stat
Proficiency boosts each stat individually, based on that stat’s own value. We publish the exact bands for proficiency 85 to 89, which is as far as they have been worked out. 90 sits above that range, so there is no table for it here — but it is at least as strong as 89, where a stat of 84 or higher already earns the full +3.
Booster
Niko Kovač carries two boosters, applied to every player in the squad on top of the proficiency boost.
| Booster | Effect |
|---|---|
| Ball Control | +1 to that stat, squad-wide |
| Defensive Engagement | +1 to that stat, squad-wide |
