In this paper, quantitative and qualitative individual technical and tactical characteristics of actions of highly- skilled football players are considered. Objective: The study was conducted among professional football players of the Premier League teams of Ukraine for the season 2016-2017. 53 professional football players of the Premier League teams participated in it. Results: The model characteristics of technical and tactical actions during the game of high-skilled players of various game roles are determined. The wing defenders are predominantly short and middle passing forward (28,3% of all gaming activities), ball receiving (23,1%), and short and passes backwards and forward (19,2%), other TTA are 29,4%. Central defenders mostly perform short and middle passing forward (29,3%), ball receiving (22,3%) and short and middle passing backward (12.8%), other TTA (33,6%). The central midfielders for the game mainly perform short and middle passing forward (25,2%) and backward and cross (22,6%), using the 24,1% of ball receiving and other TTA - 28,1%. Wing midfielders also prefer short and middle passing forward (25,7%) and backward and cross (20,4%), while 25,9 % of ball receiving is performed from the total number of technical and tactical actions (other TTA - 28,0%). Attackers are more likely to perform ball receiving (34,4 %), and short and middle passing backwards and cross (19,5 %) and forward (16,6 %), while other TTA make up 29,5%. Other indicators of technical and tactical actions in the players of all game roles do not reach 10%. Conclusions. The model indicators of technical and tactical actions during the game of elite players of different game roles are determined. For central and wing defenders, predominantly short and middle passing forward (29,3%; 28,4% respectively), ball receiving (22,3%; 23,2%) and short and middle passing backward and cross (12,8%; 19,3%). The central and wing midfielders mainly use short and middle passing forward (25,2%, 25.7% respectively), ball receiving (24,1%; 25,9%), short and middle passing backward and cross (22,6%; 20,4%). Attackers are more likely to perform ball receiving (34,4%), short and middle passing forward (16,6%).
