This is a positional list ranked by current ability, not a rating of one in-game role. Tackling and positioning are shown for comparison and do not impose extra entry thresholds. For a lone holder, inspect decisions and the space he must protect; in a pair, compare how the partners share defending and progression. Open the full profiles for passing and movement before choosing between a ball winner and a player who starts attacks.
