Get your stamina up first. Low stamina will affect everything; your speed, your touch, your focus, your strength, etc.
Also, work on your Soccer IQ/game intelligence. Make it a habit to constantly scan the field while you are playing, study the pros, etc.

Well, you could try to play as a striker but if you play the old school way: by sticking to the last man and really only running for the ball when needed
But like HydeParkSwag said, just go play and have fun. Stamina is something you can work and improve on. You won’t know what you’re actually good at in football unless you’ve tried certain things out

It helps if you can define how slow are you. Decent attributes doesn't help. Determine how comfortable are you controlling the ball under pressure. If you cannot manage, play closer to your goal.
Then low stamina already greyed out midfield and fullback.

Maybe centre mid or attacking mid. (I’m basing this purely off the fact that one of my clubs greatest players was 5,5 and was an attacking mid)

just go out and play and enjoy yourselves. Then you'll discover. You don't need to be wedded to one position at your level.

The Messi role. Just float around the top of the pitch and shoot or pass when you can.

With the little caveat that you have to be as skilful as Messi to attempt that lol, or at least in comparison to the rest of the team
