In modern football, the winger is a team superstar like everyone else. The post has become incredibly fashionable and in some cases essential. If a team isn't playing in a 4-4-2 or five-a-side formation with defense, chances are you have wingers in your squad.
Their role is varied. The wingers attack the space in the opposing third and force an error on your opponent or open up space for one of your attacking comrades, trying to exploit a flow that is a nightmare for the defenders. They aren't usually the strongest, but they tend to be the ones most often associated with silky skills to deceive the opponent. The best are also trackbacks to help their team defend themselves too.
They represent a threat and an attacking outlet such that a weak winger can stop almost any attack with their poor ball skills. We're here to make sure you don't pick up a lemon for your team.
