For example a defender could take position as a Central defender, a fullback, or a wingback.

A midfielder could be classified as a winger, if he plays out wide, an attacking midfielder, a holding midfielder etc.

An attacker sould also play out wide, could play a poaching role as an out and out striker, or even be given a free role, to play across the whole pitch.
