[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we have agreed:

1. It is hard to find a left fullback.

2. If cannot find one, you can use a MF and win, even break records. Recent examples include best teams in the world like Man City and USWNT.

3. Therefore, one could reasonably conclude fullbacks are not really in demand or not critically important. Because a MF can do the role.

4. Unless your DS / DD plays fullback. Then they mean everything and they are impossible to find or replace. And don't make fun of Mendy.

That people still don’t know the difference between a fullback and a wingback.  Vastly different positions requiring completely different types of players and teams employing them can use a midfielder because the wingback acts more forward/attack minded exactly like a midfielder.  A midfielder can be converted to wingback due to game intelligence and ball skill.   Traditional fullbacks are shitty midfielders and traditional midfielder don’t usually have affinity for old school fullback type play.

I think only a few people that really have studied the game and watch a ton of FIFA in different leagues can comprehend the differences.  It’s like talking to a brick wall.[/quote]

I agree with most of what you said.  I don't believe every midfielder can be converted to a wingback.  For one reason, they have to be exceptionally fast.  That's why Dunn can do it.  She's lickety split.  Marcelo is also incredibly fast.  A slow or even average speed midfielder can't do it because he/she doesn't have the speed to track back that the position requries.[/quote]
