the trditional number system has became less popular recently. the two centrl defenders were traditionally nubers 4 and 5. the most famous of all sweepers has to be franz Beckenbauer. His number was number 5. Going on this id say the sweeper would wear the nuber 5 jersey.

The sweeper plays between the fullbacks (defenders). Its roll is to 'sweep' up the lose balls that come through or try to stop oncoming breakaway attackers.
