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!

[nibbo]

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

[hassiebassie]

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 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

[olololololol]

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 🥲

[Bluey_g]

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! 💪

[itsvolarnotpolar]

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

[diegoavila]

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.

[keeeep]

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

[EpicNum]

In school football, I was told by my teammates to be a CM or winger which I didnt want to be, so I wasnt playing good, I didnt have good pace, passing, so I was told to be a GK. In that, I was a PRO. I saved 5 goals in the 2 matches I played GK, and now, in 5th grade I saved 14 goals and 4 penalties.

[football_is_here]

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

[Ortiraas]

I was a RB for years, but one day my coach, out of the blue, before a friendly game told us that I was gonna play number 9. Fair to say no one was convinced to see a 1m63 striker. It was a year ago, now I wear the number 9 on my back every sunday and I'm having a blast every single game. Like all things in life guys, just try out stuff and see where it leads you

[aboywholovesfootball]

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.🥇🥇

[Its_Me]

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.

[dusanstojanovic]

I play CM and LM. I'm slow with bad finishing, with solid defending and dribling, pinpoint crosses and beautifull creativity. I identify myself as Kroos or Xavi

[george_himself]

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.

[JuanMunoz-xuqq]

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.

[futboltuff]

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

[Putin]

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

[kingmessi]

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 💥💥
