Soccer positions can change according to style of play, and team strategies. The most usual strategy is to have a 3-5-2 formation that has three defenders, five mid-fielders and two strikers and of course the goalkeeper. In this form of play, the three defenders can expect to handle one or two strikers from the opposing team, and they will feel more confident if the midfield is strong as well. The attackers, in such a formation are usually going to play wide rather than in the middle.
3-5-2 Formation
In the 3-5-2 style of play, the soccer positions will also require that the wide midfielders fall back to support the defense when the opposing team attacks, while the central midfielders may hang on to the ball in order to build up a more potent attack. The idea is to hold on to the ball and thus convert the play from defense into attack. With the team using five midfielders in their formation, it is normal to have two wide wingers that will control and also dominate those soccer positions, and who will use their creativity to make more opportunities to score goals.
Midfielders are very vital to the team and these soccer positions are filled by team members that have exceptional fitness, and it is normal for them to switch to the inside and thus get some rest in between plays, and it also helps in confusing the opposing team as such play is not easily defended on a man to man basis. Also, the central midfield soccer positions are very conducive to controlling the tempo as well as for creating plays.
The other soccer positions that are very important and must be filled with players of exceptional skills, speed and control are the front men or strikers or forwards, as they are also known. Such soccer positions are usually filled by players that can bring the ball under control very quickly, and shooting for goal can be done from all parts of the field. It is normal to have two strikers working closely with one another and that is why they are often referred to as ‘twin strikers’. They help in drawing out defenders from their positions by changing their own positions, and given their alacrity, can easily tire out the defense of the opposing team.
The last of the soccer positions is filled by the person that guards the team’s goal and who is the last line of defense and who plays an important role in keeping the team from losing. He is the person that can use hands, though within the ‘D’ only, and is also the person saving penalties and preventing the ball from crossing the goal line.
Of course, the soccer positions can change as the formation is changed which in turn depends on the opposing team’s strength and their style of play. And, it is also based on the coach’s own perception of how his team will best beat the opposing team.
