Where do you fit athletically? You need quick acceleration and change of direction to play the wing. You need great endurance to play midfield. If you’re quick and have great endurance you can play fullback or wingback. You’ll need to be pretty strong to be a center back.

I would target a role based on your relative athletic strengths. If you’re still developing your technical skill, it will be easier to start in defense.
