HOW TO CHOOSE POSITION - where should you play? 

WHAT I'M WEARING IN THE VIDEO: - Boots: www.unisportstore.com/football-boots/x-speedflow-fg-purrussilvmtminrus/238837 - Top: www.unisportstore.com/training-tops/fcb-warm-top-mysinkfcbtru/239735/ - Pants: www.unisportstore.com/training-pants/con22-tr-pnt-black/239415 - Ball: www.unisportstore.com/football-equipment/select-x-unisport-football-whitegreen/204960

At first I wasn't sure but after watching this video and analysing my playstyle I can say with certainty that my best position is on the bench!

I was a winger once, because im fast. But now im the creative Part of the Team playing as a cm/cdm. The speed still helps a lot doing the defensive runs when someone loses the Ball

Began as a rightback in a 433, but was mainly moving up and down the pitch so next year I was a right midfielder. Always trained hard and worked on both legs. Even during goal scoring exercises I did good so one day I curled a ball over the keeper in a training and suddenly people wanted me as a striker. Did my best but didn't like the waiting, so I dropped into midfield often. Then one day I became a box to box player and loved that! Defend when I can, attack when I can, sometimes shoot from distance and pass the ball to better teammates who can do better things with it. I just enjoyed it. Moments like getting the ball from my opponent, passing it to the striker who scored a goal will always be great memories. .

I used to be wing back/side back, then I changed to full back, now I'm the bench warmer and part time water boy, the most stable and dominate position in a team 🥲

I was winger because i was fast, so i was trying to teach my son to be one (take ons, overlaps, underlaps, timing your run etc.) But he just naturally drifted to being a CDM, he has vision to control a game, able to spot a good pass and the accuracy to pull it off, good tackler and cut out danger before it happened, could also take on and beat players, he was so good in that position he'd regularly get called up to the year older teams. Then he got a new coach, who's son liked that position and wanted to play there, so he talked my son into being a Centre Back. it was a struggle for him at 1st to learn a new position but he's a good CB now, and still gets a good few assists, he doesn't hoof the ball up field, he has a cool head, looks for the foward pass, if its not on, he makes a simple pass. He seems happy as a CB now so its not too bad, but when they are winning games and the manager brings on another CB and pushes him up into Midfield again, he excels. He's a good CB but a natural CDM. i've never said anything to anyone (probably why im venting here), as i'm happy he is happy, but i hope to myself in the future he returns to midfield

Plan B: Go Camavinga Mode

I was playing cm in my old club for 7 years then i transfered to a new club and the coach was like. You in midfield? nah man you gonna be our striker. He said that my ability to create space for myself and take on guys 1on1 will be more suitable in that position. He made me do a lot of finnishing drills aswell. Later on in games i found out that my movement infront of a goal is very good cuz of my vision and i cant even describe it but i kinda just know where will the ball arrive? Well😄 27 goals last season and currently 22goals

I consider myself a right winger but because I can't hold my speed that well past 5 yards I've ended up playing RB (Oddly enough I was pretty good here), CAM and ST. It's fun to try new positions and I've built a more all around game because of it.

I ALWAYS played striker when I was just starting out.. but I never got the ball much and I found it rather boring (also didn’t help that I NEVER scored) but in the last year and a half ive been put on my left wing and I love it. I love any position in middle of the field, you get the ball so much and there’s always something your involved in! 💪

I play goal keeper because, long story short, I managed to build my ability within school and made my way to a club. I managed to prove myself because I’m a natural in goal, I have the captaincy, vision and positioning to stop lot’s of shots.

I was once a RM. I aspired to be like David Beckham when he played for United. An unfortunate meniscus injury sidelined me, I gained some weight, lost a lot of speed, and I was so scared to be the dribbler I was once before my injury. When I was 20, my coach noticed all of that and we were shirt a CB. I accepted the challenge and have been playing in that position for over a decade now.

Im a midfielder and the things you stated was so true about us mid fielders passing,team control. But it also needs a massive amount of stamina

For my first year in Football I started playing as a Center back but it later on became somehow boring for me so I decided to try out midfield So I start out midfield as an attacking midfielder but my attacking flaws wasn’t that good So I used my defensive experience and played as a central defensive midfield and I began to fit into that position quite easily I just worked more on my passing abilities and I become comfortable in that position till now

It comes down to many factors too : - How good you are at adapting? Some players like in many positions or change them thru time like CR7 from Winger to Striker or Bale from left back to winger. Another big examples are like Messi from Right winger and “False 9” to Center Forward or CAM - Some players can play at multiple positions such as Mbappe on all fronts , Sergi Roberto back in 2016 played in 7 different positions (CM , RW , RB , CDM , LB , RM , LM) , Kimmich as RB or CM , and I could go on - Currently is all about how can you contribute for the team , examples of this is like Pep Guardiola having KDB , Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden playing CM , RW , LW , ST , CAM while doing defensive duties

Im not as uncertain of what my position is compared to everyone else, BUT i came here to make sure and it really helped me that I'm playing the position that fits my playstyle which is LW, now i haven't tried many positions in my life but i thinK that i can play : LW/RW CAM and possibly RB too

Neuer was a striker B4 turning to be one of the best GK ever so keep all options open guys

In my most recent football years, I have played as both a striker and a cm. However, I am quite small and don’t have as much strength as I often need playing up front, and sometimes I struggle to find space as a midfielder. I have tried to find a bit of an in between spot, and playing as more of a cam and cf this has allowed me to be more comfortable on the pitch.

I used to play as a centre back and fullback but my coach thought I would be amazing in the midfield cuz I wanted to be in every single play, I had amazing stamina, I had great vision and passing, and had great finishing and I ended up loving it and I want to be a professional CM, CAM, or CDM and I wont give up

Exactly, I always played as a winger, but I was always on the beach, but one match my coach played me as a center midfielder, when I got substituted I got a massive cheer from my teammates on the beach and from the fans, after that game I was a regular starter and still play there now, even wore the captain armband from that position, now I've evolve to attacking midfield and it's just great, adaptation is key 👌 thanks for making such incredible video that has a lot of information in it 💥💥

make sure you can play in at least 3/11 positions. Dont just play specifically in one position.

I love being striker and in the action at the front, but after watching this I realise that my strengths definitely lie in my main position as full back. And don’t get me wrong, I love full back! A couple of weeks ago, I even dribbled all the way from about half way and crossed it into the goal and scored.

My first coach taught me the basics of every position and so I learnt how to be good at most of them, played LB for a few years and really didn’t like it but I picked up a lot of defensive tactics from it. Now I play 6/8 and sometimes wing. I love to press hard and win the ball back quick, all I’m missing now is the ability to do it for a full 90’

My football journey is very weird… I first started as a defender(RB) which went really bad and then I stopped playing football… Then the next year I tried being goalie which went very good and got the award of best goalkeeper in the school, in-fact I played it for three years… So then I decided to be CF for the first time, but didn’t go as expected so I went back and became a CB which really helped because I developed very good defending skills,but my coach saw that I was a long-passer so he mad me CAM and I became very good at dribbling.then after a few years I became captain, and then I decided to become ST which made me very good but because my right leg was very good I became an RW then it went so good and I had very good defending skills which made me do so good EX: taking the ball of the defender and just going for a shot… Traits: Dribbling Pace Long shooter Good at free kicks Good at corner kicks Good at penaltys Good defending And that’s it, I really liked my football journey.

I think I can play as A CAM or Winger because I love to dribble and skill, shoot, pass and be rapid. Thanks for the guide bro you helped me a lot🙏🙏🙏

This video helped me tons. Last year I played striker and my team scored over 100 goals (we probably should've been in the division higher but can't have two from the same club in division 1). I scored 7 goals in the season and got over 40 assists. My results and this video made me realise I was better at cam or cm. I've played 3 games this season and scored 6 goals, 2 assists, stopped 3 chances as last man when I drop to defend and have played lots of through balls that my teammates couldn't quite stick in the back of the net. My coach is now extremely reluctant to playing me anywhere else, since I make such a big impact to the game now. Thanks.

I started out as an out and out striker when i was young, then i went into the academy system where i was put onto the right wing to simply fit me into the team rather than leave me out. I played my last game for them yesterday and in my time i have played across the entire attacking line (RW, LW, ST, CAM, F9 etc.) Basically what im saying is you wont be stuck to one position, you will develop and become more diverse in the positions you play

I used to play CF before but i couldn't much of a scoring but i offen dribble and win ball in situations and after seeing this i find my self perfect at Defensive mid and Centre mid and also attacking mid im more of a producer and compact at these positions

I can play at wing, attacking midfielder,and striker,as you should have to know and play at least 2 positions out of 11 it helps a lot 😀 and i don't play for club but I play with and against my friends

When I got into football, I first started out as a CDM from 5 to 8(ish) years old. I wasn't very good playing there, neither did I enjoy it. And my coach noticed that, and insisted I play as a CAM, 9 to 13 years old, I was quite good playing as a CAM, and I did enjoy my time doing so. I moved to a different part of the country at around 13 so I joined a new team and was played as a RM for a few weeks, then my new coach moved me to a winger, saying that my dribbling and passing abilities would be much more useful in that position, and he was right, and I've been playing as a RW/LW ever since. Currently on 9 goals and 6 assists

I used to be a GK/Defender but I trained other things and worked my way up to a forward position. Since I have experience everywhere, I play as an Attacking Midfielder as a primary position, and LW, CF, and ST. I used to play RW but I found that I usually play around better on the left or centrally. Cause of what I’m training, as well as good at, I’m best ar CAM or as a CF role because of experience as well. Trust me when I say that what you’re good at is very important.

Thanks to your tutorials, tips and I have found my my position and now I am playing semi professional in the United States this channel has affected my game a lot and I am super glad and thankful that there is a channel that actually makes sense. I hope to see more. Thank you very much 🙏🤝🏼

I was so confused between playing as a centre back or a midfeilder and then I realised that I have the ability to create chances and at the same time have a good dribbling and defensive stats and then the only option left was to play as a central defensive midfeilder and your video helped me to figure it out and giving me the confidence of playing as a central defemsive midfeilder.

I thought I'd be good at midfield but my coach said i would be great at defense, so I started playing rb/lb for a long time. I also had great speed so I tried being fullback, but I didn't have the stamina to go up and down the pitch continuosly. I had good passing and defending so naturally I've become a CDM, and I'd like to say I'm loving it. If a goalkeeper is needed, I fill it up as I thouroughly enjoy being a keeper, and i have good reflexes. Be adaptable.

I always wanted to be a winger but my coach said that i'll be better as a striker 😭😭😭 so sad, but after playing as a striker i analysed and understanded that i'm perfect for it. So, always listen to your coach, you won't regret.🥇🥇

Because of my speed, stamina, pressing, tackling and ball interception, I get to play in multiple positions. I used to play as a forward, then a winger, then a center-back, then a full-back, then a defensive midfielder. I agree that it depends on the team, the formation, the system, and the style of the team. If where I play helps the team and gets me minutes on the pitch, it is way better than being on the bench. At least I know my name is always gonna be on the team sheet.

Ive always wanted to be a RW from the age of 7. I started joining football clubs from about 9 and just couldnt fit in, so i ended up quiting. After getting back playing football in school from 14, i learned i was more a RB, i love to push up the pitch, but i loved to make tackles like a old skool CB. I play football every saturday with people in their 30s with my dad, and im one of the best players each week. Im only 16 and i think i can still improve, especially since my passing is getting better and ive been involved in an inverted wingback roll, pushing into CDM.

In association football I played in the following positions: striker, wide midfielder and fullback. I think I enjoyed playing as a wide-midifielder because you always have an oppurtinity to cover a lot of distance by running with the ball during the course of a match and you can do both attacking and defending without being required to be a master at it and you get more touches on the bal during possession.

I currently play as a a CM/CAM. I love it! I can make plays, can see and play the pitch like I'm in FIFA, create great assists/runs, Im very fast and physical, and I can also somewhat finish. This video definetly reminded me about may things that make me good at my position and many things that would make me not so good in other positions. Anyway, Great video!

I am a CAM thank sou for helping me out

For me I learned just by playing. I trained to be a forward at first because they get all the headlines, but I could never quite master the position at the higher levels, especially on the ball. But I’ve learned I’m much more valuable as a defender because I have good instincts, anticipation, range and toughness from playing American football. And while ball skills are still important, they’re not as critical as a defender or even a CDM, where it’s more about making good decisions than taking on defenders with a bunch of skill moves. So I play more center back and defensive mid. Kante and Makélélé are who I try to emulate, and some of Van Dijk as well.

I enjoy playing as a striker but I better as a cm/CDM and thanks to the tutorials from unisport I have learnt alot and have improved my game and created better readings of the game thanks for the help 😊

When I was young, I often played with older boys so in most cases I was a GK or CB. Playing with older boys helped me develop a lot. From behind you see more and playing against more mature, bigger opponents enhanced my physicality. In primary school I started as one of the weakiest players in my class, but when I became 12 or 13 I was already a good passer and a decent finisher. It was mostly thanks to playing with older boys from my neighbourhood. In high school I played mostly as a winger or a striker, although I wasn't the fastest on the pitch. My positional awareness, great passes, one-touch passes and shots with both legs and head were good enough for those positions. During my 20s I transitioned to more central role - DM/CM/AM and when the opponents were much better than my team, I played a defender disabling any player in my sector. In my 30s I played a lot as a RB/CB/LB and sometimes as a backup GK. A lot of players I played with love scoring, dribbling etc. For me passing and defending are the things I love in football. I want to be the guy with the assist or with the pass to the assist giver. I want to be the guy who reads well opponents' attack and destroys it rather sooner than later. That's why I love playing as a CB/DM.

The timing couldn't have been better! Tryouts for my school's soccer team just started so this helped me decide the position I want to try out for!

I used to play positions all over the field bcuz I didn't know which one I was good at but ABT 2 months ago after analysing my play style and strengths I realised I should be a CDM I was good and defense good at making spaces decently fast and good at passing and dribbling. After that I started playing 10 times better.

Thanks! This really helped me out, now I actually have a idea of which position I am. Really helpful. 👍🙏🙏

i played multiple positions playing on different soccer teams when i was younger i use to play winger or striker but as i got older it became apparent that i wasn't fast like im not slow but im also not quick so i started playing more cam because ive always been a great passer and can also attack i have since become more of a cm/cdm as i can control the game and bring the call up from defense i have also played cb and rb on some local occasions when it's needed although i don't really like it as I've always enjoyed being part of the attack and as much as i enjoy scoring goals i much more enjoy getting an assists it's so much more rewarding making a perfect pass to where your teammate just has to finish it off

Started in Goal because everyone hated me because in school I got good marks and they thought I was a nerd. Then I showed I was capable and was upgraded to CB, I didnt do well and then went to LB Did really well but they got a player that was worse than me but i was fine with playing RB and now have gotten semi-regular goals and assists.

I remember when I was playing for this club but they always put me in striker, left wing or midfield, but I always kept tackling the opposing team so I decided defense and play left back but the thing was…I wasn’t much of a runner so I became a goalkeeper and I was very happy of my choice 😊

thanks to my speed,stamina,and strenght i was an RB/LB cuz i can't do that much dribbling but i can hold the ball,I have an acceptable vision,But i am an aggressive player so i have to be RB/LB,i was Right,or Left winger before,even if i am more right leg,but my left was acceptable i think :D

Thanks, you inspired me to become beach, I used to be reserve

Love this topic. I was a strong player with tackles great at reading plays and position but I was great at making through balls so I was used as center midfielder, both defensive and attacking. Occasionally central defense and back up goalie.

I love going forward with the ball and scoring but when I met better people it felt like shooting was impossible but I also like controlling the game and help shape the team and I had a good pass on me so I became a CM/CAM and im flourishing

I’m a CF but I can play anywhere. My best attribute is dribbling, and my worst is probably defending/ passing (I don’t really have a worst attribute but those are probably what I’m not the best at.)

I always play attacking, anything attacking but when I tried playing full back RB I played well too. Don’t set limits to where you should be playing, try new positions

i wanted to play as a striker(st) but i wasn't good at finishing long story short i changed into a center midfielder(cm) and i was really good at it

I'm in my mid 30s and considering getting back into football. I used to play semi pro as a right back but I'm very technical, have a good touch, a fast runner and can pass well. Im also quite naturally defense minded. After watching this video, i feel like CDM is where i would suit now.

This really helps. I definitely an attacking/central mid Thank you!!

I used to think of playing as AM or Cm usually but I went to gym and I had broad shoulders which gave me more physical strength, so I started playing as a DM in the college level and as a RB even tho I'm comparatively slow but I have good stamina continuously keeping up and catching up to the winger and not giving him space to run and making those Wingers annoyed really gave me the Joy while playing and giving out those long passes and crosses creating attacking situations for my team from the RB 😍😍😍 aahhhhhhh.... It was the best

I don’t play football nor very deeply into football but after some thought I think I’ll be best at right back, as I play basketball and is very long & lanky and very defensive minded and have good stamina, and like playing off the ball.

I have pretty solid stamina and i am fast so I played RB mostly in my career, even tho i wanted RW or ST but trainer decided to use me on RB as we had enough attackers. I could play 90 minutes with full sprints and used it as RWB which was rly fun running forward and beating opponenents LB/LM 😅 and yet, i enjoyed tackling!!

During my competitive days, I used to play across all attacking positions before settling in at AMC or 'in the hole' as they say. Got out of the competitive scene just before the traditional 10 died out. Do try out the different positions as they make you read the game better.

I dreamt of playing like KDB but I was pushed to defence to play CB and I turned out very good.I still create some chances with my long passing abilities

I have played midfield for many years and I actually have gotten very good at it. I later switched to goalkeeper last year and I have improved as far as making my high school team as a keeper. I've been enjoying it, but there is always some regret in me that I should have stayed outfield since it can be very frustrating and "boring" playing this position. Do any of you guys have advice for next year? I'm injured and still currently deciding. Thanks

I really think I'd be a great upfield player... My passing, dribbling and shooting are pretty good and my own teammates have said they think I should play a more attacking position based on how they've seen me play during practice. but my coach always throws me at CB just because I'm big and can make a tackle. It's super frustrating being stuck at the back all the time when I know I can help more upfront :(

This helped me a lot, i thought I was a striker, until I watched this video and figured out I was a cam/rw

CB AND CM I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ITS HELPING ME SO MUCH

Would love to get a heart by Unisport, you just uploaded the vid 40 secs ago

I’m a CAM and my specialties are Speed, Control, Playmaking, and vision

I am a 12 year old, who plays as a winger/striker/ mid-fielder. But I'm usually good and being a Winger and sometimes even a Mid-fielder. By the way, I don't play at a club but I play in my School Soccer Matches

I was a cdm for a while but my position is a right winger I don’t score a lot of goals but I make good runs and I make great assists

Please start a series of becoming professional footballer... Please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

What position do you think I should play?. I am a fast player with excellent 1 on 1 skills and good crossing , vision and shooting. But then I have good defending although I am not very physically powerful. I’m currently playing for a league 2 team in England at youth level.

I've played football for a year so far and have changed my position from ST to CB and at last went on to be GK

I'm a young centre back from india When the exams were near I stopped playing football but by continuing watching your techniques : Ping Free kicks Power shot Etc Thank you guys

Very helpful insights, thanks for always supporting me and others like me.

I was first a GK. Then I eventually became a CM/CAM, then I became a GK again. Now, I’m all of a sudden one of the best CB/CDMs in my class.

My football journey is very simple. I started of as playing as a CM, I was playing decent at that time. But then a new player joined who was a CM too and our RW winger left that same season. My coach told me to play as the RW cuz he noticed how good my driblling and crossing is, and trust me I am doing very well right now. So listen to your coach.

my reflexes and eyes it's good , also my reaction it's pretty good, my shooting it's about half of the field, my stamina it's great, i can control my breath to calm myself and not to emotional, my left leg it's about 3/5 while my right leg it's 5/5, my shooting it's fast but i can control the curve, also im good at diving and clear the ball, takle it's the last hope i do when the ball it's inside the penalty box, also i have a good strength and speed .So i guess im good at CB, LB, RM and GK. thanks for reading

I started as a Striker, but because i was agile fast, but not that tall, i got right winger. I was actually pretty good, especially with Crosses and finessshots, however i got slower over time and because i always have been a player that comes back on defense and played physically and hard in tackles - i got back to wingback. But with even more injuries (because if you are fast i feel like people just stop getting into 1v1s and try to kill you instead) i got switches to cm, so i had to sprint less and my crossing abilities were a good trait for making long balls and switching sides fast. And now im done playing for almost 6 years, my legs are done and i feel like „why have you done that“. So whoever reads this: dont make the mistakes i die and ignore injuries. I was able to push myself beyond those and that got me to the point where i am right now… so take it serious, take your time to heal and never forget to have fun.

I used to play lw not because i was fast but because of my ability on the ball, fast forward a couple months later and im best centre back on the team due to my build and ability on the ball, safe to say building out from the back is actually quite useful in football

Back when I was 7 years old I had no interest in anything really but after one of my classmates saw how I aced every PE class without ever training and after making me play football in the break on the schoolyard he invited me to play football for his club and give it a try. When I arrived the coach was pleased by my natural athletic abilities and on my skills even though I was a complete novice. I was tested in what I could do the best and my shooting and speed were my key abilities. With that knowledge he trained me to play striker and from there I played that position for now 14 years for 3 clubs and was the league’s top scorer of all clubs in nearly every season. What I deem as important is who you strive to be and that you try to find the players best fitted for your inspiration. For me my coach told me to look up Ibrahimovic and Bergkamp and I looked for every aspect of their game that could help me become better and integrated it into my own playstyle. Being tall, fast and very flexible I really incorporate volleys and bicycle kicks as well as well as heel volleys etc to achieve a shooting ability that made nearly everything possible as long as I was inside or in close proximity to the penalty area and became a great goal poacher that never got much competition to my spot as the striker.

I was a Goalkeeper for so long and at a young age a better goalkeeper came too the club and took my spot, i was on the bench, and during that time i slowly started playing outfield. Now im a cdm and im great at it

Due to my size and being 6 feet tall since the 6th grade, i was always the goal keeper and then got turned into a centerback, and that's been going well

This video helped a lot. After careful consideration and watching the video more than 2x, I have come to a conclusion that I am a professional benchwarmer.

Starter as a striker and was really good at it. But I tried playing CM and realized I was just as good at controlling pace, passing through balls and yes my favorite a sniper from long range/volleys. ❤

For me I've always wanted to be a goalkeeper but I've grown tired of my defense not helping so I've become a center back and my speed and defensive capabilities have really helped me so far and I've loved getting so much play time. I say that last part because my coach had chosen two keepers and that got me really aggravated because he made me sit on the bench half the game. For anyone who is mad about someone worse than them playing in your position just know you can always change and be a better player in another position.

Fav: Attacking Mid Best: CDM Adaptability: Great (said by my coach, parents, and team)

I’ve always thought I was a centre back and people say I’m a great central defender, but my friends also say I’m really good at playing striker. I’m kind of overweight but also really muscular for my age and really tall and big. Idk whether to switch positions or to stay as a defender. My strong points are: Physicality: strength and aerial battles Vision: Shot power Defending Commanding Positioning (good at both types but mostly defensive) and volleys Which position should I be (or should I stay as centreback) (Also I’m not really fast)

Thankyou Thankyou MY GOD Unisport to help me . As like your 🔦 and I am in dark you are lighting and I can follow my way. And at far I can see my idol MESSI At Last I will catch it with your help 😍😍😍😍😍😍

I´m just starting to play football again since a long time. I think the best position for me is goalkeeper. Winger may be another option because of my speed and I like shooting but I´d need to work on my dribbling and improve a bit my shooting.

Thanks because of u I finally know my position it’s a striker😊

At first I wasn’t sure so I went with fullback/centerback but since I am better at attacking than defending I thing I should be a striker or cam

Started as CAM, went more CF kinda, CM, winger, CDM, CB, LB and now RB. A lot of changes.

When I played in 9th grade I was usually center midfield but sometimes they would play me in one of the wings but I definitely like midfield the best, and I'm playing again in.the spring so I am excited

Thank you so much. Im only 11 years old and my dream is to go pro so i train daily. And really i had NO FRICKING idea what position i wanted to play. I was pretty good at shooting and at... goalkeeping and had not idea which one. Thanks to this i now know what to choose. Thanks Unisport!

Thanks for the information, now I have confidence of choosing who will be better for my soccer team.

As a coach, it helps a lot when the player knows their positions. Sometimes we need to fill out a spot and there’s those few players that you can always count on to play most positions. It gets difficult when a player only wants to play one, and when asked if they can play in another they look confused and ask what to do in that position.

love the way this man talks🤩

Videos are so helpful its hard to choose which ones to watch
