From back to front and flank to flank, the best teams function as one unit, but FIFA.com wants to know which position on the pitch you consider the most important.

A good side starts at the back, and having a safe and commanding presence in goal is certainly vital, especially if your goalkeeper can deny goals that your team otherwise might have conceded. A strong central defender commanding the back and thwarting all danger can have as much of an impact as the goalkeeper, and don’t underestimate the value of a good overlapping run from the full-back position either.

Everyone loves a good winger, and they can stretch and twist defences unlike any other, but the creative midfield position is the pivotal spot for making chances and picking apart opponents. But football is all about goals, so can you look beyond a good striker? And the best defence is a good offence, right?
