Positions

Box-to-Box Midfielder

A midfielder who covers the full length of the pitch, defending in their own penalty area and attacking in the opposition's. The ultimate engine of a football team. Requires stamina, tackling, passing, and the occasional goal. Lampard, Gerrard, and Yaya Toure in his prime were the gold standard.

"He's just made a tackle on the edge of his own box and he's arriving in theirs thirty seconds later. Box-to-box all day."
