Best Answer

#1 is keeper

#2-#5 are usually defense

#6-#8 are usually midfields although sometimes 6 and rarely 7 are defense.

#9 are forward positions, 9 is most commonly used as the best scorer and 11 is usually the playmaker

#12 and forth are mostly subs

Answer

The numbers actually have no meaning. There are no requirements that any player wear any number. It is merely a language-independent method of distinguishing one player from another.

1: keeper

2-5: Defence

5: Best defender or the main defensive midfielder

6: Midfielder

7: Right or left winger

8: Mid or winger

9: Main striker

10: Playmaker

11: Supporting striker

"It is a way to identify who is who." Sure BUT..... Take Messi for example. He wears the number 10 for club and country. The number 10 jersey is usually worn by one of the more eminent attacking minded playmakers. That goes the same for C. Ronaldo and number 7. 9 stands for center striker. 1 is goalkeeper. IDK the rest, sorry
