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.

    Ronald Koeman would be my personal pick as the most versatile player being a good enough goalscorer, playmaker and defender to pretty much cover most of the pitch above average.

    Currently closest you can get is probably Theo Hernandez? As soon as he starts moving towards goal defences coaches and keepers get nervous
