Deep lying playmaking left back and false goalkeeper

when I was a kid growing up in marseille, we worshipped 10s not 9s

it's striker, centre back and then goalkeeper
midfield manlets can fuck off

Impossible to answer, especially since there are so many different roles. The era of the definitive playmaker is mostly over anyway

Defensive Midfielder

the best defense is a good offense thoughbeit

Midfielder, defender. Least prestigious is goalkeeper. The further you are from the opposition goal, the less famous you're going to be. It's that simple.

no goalkeeper has to be higher up because he can make godly saves

I'm sure there are more kids with posters of Virgil van Dijk, Roberto Carlos, John Terry and Ashley Cole (defenders) on their walls than Manuel Neuer or Edwin van der Sar. They might be more important to the team, but that wasn't the question.

It used to be attacking midfielder and wingers but they don't exist anymore. Games gone, innit?

>>154736149
Wingers and 10s. Nobody wants to be a keepee, defender or midfielder. Everybody wants to score goals

Is it true that it's full of Nafris and Albanians and open crime on the streets?

>Striker is obviously the most prestigious position in soccer and the face of the sport
That's BS, midfielders and the active defense "liberos" like Roberto Carlos are just as prestigious.

You don't think there are kids with De Gea, Lloris, Oblak, Raya, Alisson etc posters?

Only if they already play in goal
Most goalies are forced into the position.

If keepers were thaught how to play with their feet they could be esteemed as any other position.

>centre back
only when it's a charismatic ruthless motherfucker, otherwise it's just a guy with pockets full of spaghetti ready to spill them

creative midfielder like ozil or de bruyne
it's a very technical position that's not crucial or even used in most team formations and has been dying in the past two decades, but it used to be arguably more prestigious than striker when guys like ronaldinho and zidane were at their prime

>>154750043
Do you count Kaka, Kroos, Iniesta, Modrić and Beckham as 'creative midfielders'?

>>154749797
That's bullshit, you have to have elite reflexes, some weird hero ego, amazing passing ability etc for the goalie position.

Im talking pro level, not 11 year olds playing for fun.

>>154750276
He's right though, fatties are forced to play in goal as kids. Professional GKs were all once fatties or otherwise unworthy of other positions and so forced to play in goal as kids. Those who develop reflexes and skills turn pro, the other simply quit

The only kids with non-club legend goalkeeper posters are goalies themselves
