Football position

• Sweeper
• The sweeper (or libero (Italian: free)) is a more versatile type of centre-back that, as the name suggests, "sweeps up" the ball if the opponent manages to breach the defensive line. 
• Their position is rather more fluid than other defenders who mark their designated opponents
• Full-back
• The left-back and the right-back are generally referred to as the full-backs
• Wing-back
• The wing-back (or attacking full-back) are defenders with heavier emphasis on attack
• usually employed as part of a 3–5–2 formation, and can therefore be considered part of the midfield when a team is attacking
• one of the most physically demanding positions
• Wide-midfield
• With the advent of the modern game the traditional outside forwards known as "wingers" were pushed back to wide midfield, though still commonly referred to as wingers
• Wingers
• A winger (left winger and right winger) (historically called outside-left and outside-right, or outside forward) is an attacking player who is stationed in a wide position near the touchlines
