Not that anyone asked but I’ve always viewed it as.

GK: 1
RB: 2
CB: 5
CB: 6
LB: 3
RM: 7
CM: 4 (More Defensive)
CM: 8 (More Attacking)
LM: 11
ST: 9 (Big Man)
ST: 10 (Little Man)

This is a debate I’ve had many times. Remember having a long debate with the Dutch exchange student at college who insisted that 6 was a CM and 4 a CB so will also accept that.
I am old old school so:
1 Goalie
2 RB
3 LB
4 RH
5 CH
6 LH
7 RW
8 IR
9 CF
10 IL
11 LW

Subs None.

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
According to the app, Michal Karbownik has taken the Number 6 shirt for the coming season.

I thought he was Full Back 🤔

4 & 5 CBs for me. 6 & 8 the CMs.

Numbers don’t mean much nowadays. Probably an age thing for me: Bobby Moore, Norman Hunter, Peter Simpson.

1. Goalkeeper
2. Right back
3. Left back
4. Central midfield
5. Centre back
6. Centre back
7. Right wing
8. Striker
9. Striker
10. Central midfield
11. Left wing
10 - flair player, most likely to be in nightclubs with the 7 winger. 10 or 7 Definitely the ones doing a Brut ad.

Well, these days it’s a central midfielder - and talking about it is a badge of honour, to show how knowledgable you are about continental football. The correct shirt for a defensive central midfielder, however, is 4.
