The Athletic redefine player roles

Where is the Alfredo Morelos category ?

Buffalo - Morelos, Morelos and Morelos.

He doesn't fit into anything else so that's him f*cked.
 
These are the types of things football clubs have been using for years. When Liverpool are looking for a certain type of player they don't just filter by 'Attacker', they'll have them categorised in a similar sort of way to this.

It makes sense - someone like Wan Bissaka is a totally different type of full back to a Trent.
 
I mean, surely makes more sense than just saying "Defender", or "Midfielder".

Despite what the dinosaurs in the stands might say, Football has changed since the 90s.
Since the 90s…. there’s still folk talking about Inside Rights!

But they do it on an excel spreadsheet?

It does make sense, when you see the illustration by player then it is clear what is meant.

Someone is just putting a name to different ways that players fulfil a generic role.
 
Obviously never heard of the kiss method, It's not like the majority of players are brain surgeons with that level of Education.
And also you are talking about teams with multiple languages and different footballing cultures the managers should know what a player is capable of playing and doing.
