Players like Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar aren’t for sure, because defending should also be in the conversation. The Camavinga memes had me thinking, is there a player who was/is actually really good at everything, or at least most things inside the pitch?

Gullit, Yaya Toure, Matthaus and in general box2box players could do anything from defending to scoring. Pogba when he was world class is a good example. Defenders who scored regurarly like Ramos, Hierro or Koeman, even fullbacks like Marcelo or Dani Alves are exceptional on many things.

Another fun pick would be Jorge Campos, the goalkeeper who also played as an attacker sometimes.

    Let’s be honest, if you take every aspect of football into consideration only ball playing goalkeepers would fit the criteria, so you would be left with the following players:

    -Campos

    -Neuer

    -Ederson

    Not taking goalkeeping in consideration you would be left with mostly midfielders, with a few exceptions:

    -Rooney

    -Grimaldo

    -Frimpong

    -Dumfries
