Full backs are difficult beasts. Do you play them as defenders? Do you want them to push on into the midfield to help attacks? Or do you want them bombing down the wings to put in crosses. Do you even want them at all? Well, it’s a difficult decision, but here are five things you should know about full backs, and how this can help you decide which ones you need.

1. If you don’t play with wide midfielders, full backs provide much-needed width

Formations such as the narrow 4-4-2 diamond, or a narrow 4-2-3-1 may not use any wide midfielders at all. Even if they do, if they are being told to cut inside often then the team could become almost totally devoid of any width. Width is good. Width offers opportunities to pull the opposition out of their comfort zones, creates space for the attackers to exploit, and provides crossing and shooting opportunities.

Given that this is the case, having full backs who can push forward (as full backs with an attack duty or wing backs) can be incredibly useful. By giving an extra passing option out wide, they can help recycle possession if the centre of the field gets crowded or they can push on to get shots or crosses of their own. If you have gone down a narrow formation route, having one or two wing backs can definitely help you get some width, and give your attack an extra dimension.

2. If a full back charges forward, someone will need to cover him

It’s all well and good having full backs support the attack, but if they leave a massive hole in their wake for the opposition to exploit then it becomes pretty pointless. Therefore, you will need to make sure that enough players can cover the marauder if the counter attack is launched.

For many teams, the use of one or more defensive midfielders will help in this regard. Either the DMC can pull wide to cover the hole, or he can sag back into the defensive line while one of the centre backs pulls wide. Whichever way it happens, at least the danger can be retarded long enough for the full back to sprint back into his position.
