A quick question about player positions that's been keeping me up at night (allright, that just came off badly). Q: What's the term(s) for a striker who plays behind the forwards and acts as a creative player as well as a goal-scorer? Examples would be: R. Baggio, Totti I know there's a specific term for this kind of player, but I can't remember what it is. Any help is appreciated.
There are quite a few names for it. The most obvious are No. 10, Support striker, in the hole, media punta, playmaker.
