Find the football position you're built for
Most players are put where there's a gap — not where they'll thrive. PlayerDNA scores all eight positions from a single video and returns the top three a player is naturally built for, each with the reasoning behind it.
Every position, scored from movement
The engine maps your physical and technical profile to the real demands of each role — never a single number in isolation.
Goalkeeper
Reaction speed, vertical reach, agility and handling under pressure.
Centre-back
Aerial power, recovery speed, strength and positional reading.
Full-back
Repeat-sprint stamina, agility and end-to-end work rate.
Defensive midfielder
Reaction, positioning, endurance and tackle timing.
Central midfielder
Stamina, agility plus decision speed across the whole pitch.
Attacking midfielder
Agility, acceleration and scanning to create in tight spaces.
Winger
Top-end speed, change-of-direction and explosive 1v1 power.
Striker
Acceleration, finishing power, jump and movement off the shoulder.
PlayerDNA estimates position fit with camera AI and confirms it with hardware when it matters — so the recommendation is data-backed, not a hunch.

What your position report looks like
A simplified example for a fast, explosive 16-year-old. Your real report scores all eight positions.
Winger
Top-end speed and change-of-direction power in the top percentile for the age group — built to beat a full-back one-on-one.
Striker
Explosive acceleration and movement off the shoulder; building aerial strength would raise this further.
Attacking midfielder
Sharp first two steps and good scanning; endurance is the trait to develop for a full 90 minutes here.
Every score maps to validated sports-science standards — so it's a data-backed recommendation, not a hunch.
Finding your position: common questions
How do I find my position in football?
The most objective way is to measure how you move. PlayerDNA analyses speed, acceleration, agility, stamina and biomechanics from a single video, scores you against the demands of every position, and returns the top three you're naturally built for — each with the reasoning behind it.
What is my football position?
There's no single answer from height or preference alone — it depends on your physical profile. Upload one video and PlayerDNA returns your best-fit roles, ranked by how well your movement matches each position's real demands.
Is PlayerDNA a football positions generator?
It's the opposite of a random quiz. Instead of guessing from a few questions, PlayerDNA generates your positions from measured movement data, so the result reflects how you actually play.
Which positions does it cover?
All eight outfield and goalkeeping roles: goalkeeper, centre-back, full-back, defensive midfielder, central midfielder, attacking midfielder, winger and striker.
Do I need special equipment?
No. The camera-only mode estimates position fit from any phone video. Optional hardware adds ground-truth precision for clubs and academies.
