Training Preferred Moves & Traits in FM27 Mobile

How do I train players' traits and find players with the right signature moves in FM27 Mobile?

You train traits directly, and you can search for players whose traits already fit your style. According to the App Store listing for Football Manager 27 Mobile, "You can now directly train players' preferred moves, or traits, giving you more power to focus player progression." The same listing says you can search for players whose traits suit your style and strategy.

The listing calls these "preferred moves, or traits," but it does not say where that wording appears inside the game. It also does not break down how long training takes, what it costs, or which traits exist.

How do you train a player's signature moves?

Decide which trait suits your tactics, then train it on the player you want to develop. The official description confirms you can directly train preferred moves and traits and that doing so gives you more control over player progression. It does not describe the menus, the number of traits a player can hold, or any limits on training, so treat those details as undocumented until the game or its patch notes spell them out.

A simple approach that follows the official outline:

• Pick the trait that fits how you want the player used in your system.
• Train it on the player whose progression you want to focus.
• Check back as the player develops, since the feature is framed around focusing progression.

How do you find players with the right traits?

Use the search tools to look for players whose traits suit your style and strategy. The listing states this directly, but it does not say which filters exist or whether trait searching is separate from normal scouting. If you are hunting superstars or wonderkids, the listing suggests searching for players whose traits suit your style and strategy, but it does not describe what happens to the results beyond that.

Where do traits fit alongside scouting and squad building?

Traits sit inside the wider squad-building loop. The listing describes scouting the globe for superstars and wonderkids and then shaping their development with tactical options inspired by the world's best managers. Training traits is one of those development tools: you can scout for a player who already has the trait you want, or train one onto a player you already rate. Which route suits you depends on your squad, and the listing does not detail how either route plays out beyond search and direct training.

What else changed in FM27 Mobile?

Several other systems arrived alongside trait training. The listing describes an updated match engine with real-time statistics such as Expected Goals, a Manage Team Dynamics system that surfaces events affecting morale and expands player interactions, a Supporters section within Board Confidence, and new Physio Reports covering injury risk and match readiness. It also mentions haptics, a separate accessibility settings menu, audio and back-button improvements, and a new playable league. Each of these is described only in general terms; the listing does not give numbers, thresholds, or step-by-step instructions.

If you want to try the trait tools yourself, the game is listed for iPhone and iPad with a Netflix membership required, per the App Store page.
