what’s the difference between a CAM and a CF in football?

243 views

Is it just that the CF doesn’t run back to defend so often? Or at all? Or they can perform the same tasks, and the title will change depending on the formation?

The CF is usually the furthest man upfield for a team. Also sometimes called the target man, he is expected to receive passes, crosses or through balls and convert those chances into goals.

The CAM is a more attacking minded midfielder that, while doing his job as a midfielder also plays an important role in attack by creating chances and sometimes also trying his own luck at goal.
