In modern football, the winger is as big a superstar in the team as anyone. The position has become incredibly fashionable and in some instances, essential. If a team doesn’t play in a 4-4-2 formation or play with five in defense, chances are you’re going to have some wingers in your group.

Their role is varied. The wingers attack the space going into the opposition third and either force a mistake from your opponent or open up space for one of your fellow attackers, trying to exploit a flow that is a nightmare for defenders to track. They’re usually not the strongest, but they tend to be the ones most commonly associated with silky skills to fool the opponent. The best ones also trackback to help their team defend too.

They are such a threat and attacking outlet that a weak winger can stunt almost any attack with their poor ball skills. We’re here to make sure that you don’t pick up a lemon for your team.
