- Right Back (RB): Full Back. Stay back, providing defensive cover.
- Left Back (LB): Wing Back. Overlap, giving you width and attacking options.
- Right CDM (RCDM): Holding. Stay back while attacking, providing defensive cover.
- Left CDM (LCDM): Deep Lying Playmaker. Stay back while attacking, providing defensive cover.
