I agree with most of what you mentioned. But not all...

Sweeper keeper is a variation of the GK position. Just as wingback is a variation of the fullback position. That's the difference between Hart and Bravo.

Central midfield is split into attacking and defensive.

When teams played 4-4-2, they employ just one CDM and one CAM. Current formations (4-3-3 and 4-5-1) employ either two CDM or two CAM. In most cases it is the former where one of the CDM is the runner or box to box as some prefer to call it.

So invariably, a box to box is still a DM per se. While the holding DM waits to break up play, the box to box guy hassles the opponent, some times chasing the ball to the GK.

As for Pogba, I have seen him play all CM positions for United. Recently, he has been deployed more as a CAM referred to as a 10. Typical as Ramsey, he plays holding DM or box DM, he can even play as an AM as he does for Wales.

So there is a 10 in a 4-3-3.

............................. De Gea .........................
Valencia ... Jones .. Rojo .. Darmian
.................. Carrick .. Herrera .................
............................ Pogba ...........................
Mkhi .................... Ibra ............. Martial
Ogbeni, the GK position has no variation, abi you don see DGK and AGK before cheesy
"Sweeper keeper" as you call it is rather a player attribute or style not a GK position e.g as found in Neuer, "comedy keeper" is the same too e.g Bravo grin

when you deploy a 4-4-2 not a variant as in "diamond" you'd be fielding at least two CMs and zero 10.

Ogbeni in a 4-3-3, you are primarily playing a DM and two CMs (RCM and LCM) no CAM.

The formation you depicted below is 4-2-1-3 a variation, not 4-3-3 itself.

Hope you understand?

In a few years time,

Rooney would be coach of Man United.

Gerrard, coach of Liverpool.

Lampard, coach of Chelsea.

Who would be coach of Arsenal?
Gilberto Silva (my best Assenal midfielder ).

A 10 is a central attacking midfielder.

From what I see United play, Pogba plays as a 10 most times.

For example, I saw the game against Liverpool, Pogba started as the CAM. When Rooney came in, he dropped into CDM to pair with Herrera.

Sometimes, a manager may even play a double 10.

Midfield Positions:

Central Defensive- holding, box to box.

Central Attacking- playmaker

Wing Attacking- wingers of which there are different types nowadays.

Most recently we now have Deep Lying Playmakers as made popular by Pirlo.

Football is evolving and new formations and positions are introduced. Some are even confusing and a mixture. For example, Wingbacks and Sweeper Keepers (popularised by Neuer).

So just keep yourself abreast and follow the trend.
Bro, in a 4-3-3 which Mou deploys most times there is no 10 for Pogba to man,except occasionally when he goes with a 4-2-3-1.

Deep Lying Playmaker, Sweeper keeper, are not positions per se buh rather playing attributes or styles of either a DM,CM and GK respectively.

Formations have become dynamic that you can have 2 Players at the base of a team's midfield in the pre match lineup as DMs, buh in reality only one functions as the DM while the other is a CM (in this case a b2b ).
I guess that was what eph12 was tryna explain to KokaneNobody.

Same way you have Poachers in attack , Sweepers, instigators in Defence ,midfield dynamos,maestros and conductors in MF.

So what does he playhuh
He plays as a RCM or LCM alongside Herrera,with Carrick as the pivot; there's no 10 in a 4-3-3 bro.

Interchanging positions during play doesn't mean he plays 10.

Imagine someone saying United played two DM against Hull city undecided dem get MSN or what? Ayam not understanding.

In football nowadays sef any formation can be placed on the screen but the roles are what matters most. When Fellaini paired Pogba in the middle initially he hardly crossed the middle but Pogba had the freedom to go back and forth and he is saying he is a DM all in a bid to justify the useless fake khaki of a fraud u bought. He does not barb but prefers to skip matches by getting sent off. SR himself will be disappointed with this record.

In Mou's 4-3-3, which has been our most played formation , Pogba doesn't play as a DM nor a 10.
