Soccer Jersey Numbers Meaning

Soccer Jersey Numbers….?

I just had a question on what numbers from 12-32 are usually substitutions for, I know 1-11: But what numbers from 12-32 usually go in for each position…? Or do they not really have a meaning. Is 17 a midfielder, or a forward? Or what about 19? 16? If you could let me know, that would be great.

it depends entirely on the league that teams play in and player preference

1-11 used to be the starting eleven with no exceptions, but in recent years some players choose a number and stick to it throughout their career (such as Anelka who always wears 39)

as for which numbers from 12-32 are for midfielders and forwards etc. in most leagues there is no general rule, numbers are given out by availability. over time some players numbers may go lower when another player leaves and this is just to acknowledge their loyalty to the club.

im from manchester in england and support manchester city, we have a very large squad and every number from 1-57 (apart from 23 which was retired for Marc Vivien-Foe who died on the pitch)

some of our starting 11 wear 33 and 34, our first choice keeper wears 37

i would like to add though that even though there is no general rule for who gets what number nowadays, any youth players that come out of a teams academy, will more likely wear numbers in the 30′s and 40′s because they wont play much.
