If Julius Caesar played soccer: central midfielder, rated 84

Julius Caesar as a soccer player: scouting report

Julius Caesar would play central midfield, because he liked to be at the center of everything and in control of it. He was one of the most famous orators of Rome and wrote his own account of his campaigns in Gaul, which means he understood both how to give an order and how to explain it. On the pitch that becomes a midfielder who organizes the team and keeps the ball moving. His passing is the strongest part of his card.

His defending is right behind his passing, so he does not only create. He screens the back four, wins the ball in midfield and immediately turns defense into attack, which mirrors his reputation for moving fast and catching opponents unprepared. His shooting is good enough to threaten from the edge of the area, and he will arrive late in the box when the moment is right. He also reformed the Roman calendar into the Julian calendar, with a leap year every fourth year, and a player who rebuilt the year itself is not going to lose track of the game clock. The month of July is still named for him.

Pace is the weak spot on his card, so he should not be chasing quick forwards in open space. Pair him with a tireless runner in the midfield three who covers ground for him. His next best spots are winger and striker, which shows how much attacking threat he carries, and he could step forward into a front three if a drafter needs goals. For a drafter, he is a strong pick in the middle rounds. Make him your captain, put him at the heart of the team and let him run the match.
