First things first, there are no such thing as POSITIONS in Futsal. You only have outfield players and a goalkeeper.

Why? Because you are required to play in a diamond-formation. And players are supposed to rotate with one another within the diamond shape. Striker -> Left Wing -> Defense -> Right Wing -> Striker and it goes on and on. The diamond pass-and-run formation has been proven to be the most efficient and effective strategy in futsal.

Man-marking is essential. One-touch passing is essential. Awareness is essential. Stamina is essential.

Anyway, my team name is called Saintz FC. We've been an active futsal team for over 8 years, and football for over 10 years. Recently, we finished the Sports Barn Social League as Quarter Finalists. Anyone up for a friendly game can PM me

I play a free-role for my team. I usually play upfront but I roam both flanks and down in the middle as well. My team plays total football so we don't really have a fixated position but I generally play up front. But since I was bestowed with the sacred No. 9 jersey, I've been entrusted with the task to score goals and most of the time I find myself playing as a lone striker.

I've represented my high school and college teams in both field and futsal football. I was the youngest player in the Selangor League professional football when I was only 17 years old. Now I'm 24 and I just play futsal for leisure on Sunday mornings with my team named Saintz FC. We do join tournaments once in awhile and we won the Sports Barn Adidas League second pool just recently.

The type of gameplay I'd suggest for a free-role player/playmaker:

1) Running at defenders. My favourite kind of play. Backheels, nutmegs, Marseille Roulette and more. Of course added with a little of showboating. I've been a keen fan of dribbling ever since I could kick a ball and now I'm pretty confident with dribbling past defenders.

2) Vision. A through pass is the easiest way to unlock the entire defence. One good pass and you'll send the striker through on goal.

3) Holding the ball. Panic and fear is one thing you need to eliminate from the game. Always be calm and plan your moves 2 steps ahead of everyone.
