It is important that you pick the right position too play, otherwise, you may end up having a poor game. Trust me, I speak from experience. PositionsSweeper The sweeper plays just behind the defensive line and "sweeps up" any loose balls. Central Defender The central defender plays in the back line of the defence. Usually too stop strikers and midfielders attacking more centrally, regain possession and to set off the attack. Left/Right Fullback The left/right fullbacks play on either side of the central defenders. Main task is too stop attackers coming from the wide positions and to provide cover for the central defenders. Central Midfielder The heart of the team. The midfield is where the ball will travel through most of the game. The main job of the central midfielder is to tidy up loose balls in the central area and link defence and attack together by passing the ball. Defensive Midfielder The main role is to help the defence out by playing one in front of the defensive line. Must be able to tidy up loose balls and make tackles when necessary. Attacking Midfielder Same as the central midfield but more attacking. Main role is to set-up the attack and maybe get in front of the strikers to score goals. Left/Right Wingers The wingers job is to try and stretch the defence by attacking from the sides, forcing them to go wide, opening up the center for more dangerous attacks. Wing forward The wing forward is similar to the left and right midfielder but more attacking. Striker It is important to have a goal scorer for them team. The striker will be the one that is mostly to score goals. Their main position is to play as close to the goal as posible and poach goals in. Return From Soccer Positions to Homepage |
