Okay, I admit this is because I am getting way to into Winning Eleven 8 on the Playstation.
I love soccer, but I did not grow up with it. Therefore, I do not know a lot of the small “common sense” points of the game that I imagine every non-American in the world knows. Here’s the question:
I understand that generally you want a left footed kicker on the left side (running the left wing, e.g.) and a right footed kicker on the right side, so the ball is naturally held away from the defender, and so the ball will naturally swing in when kicked.
That being said, if a team had two absolutely amazing right footed kickers, such that the lesser of the two’s talent was far better than its next best left footed kicker, would it ever play the right footed kicker on the left side? Would it always play the left footed kicker there, even if of lesser talent?
It’s very common to have a right-footed player on the left wing.
Less usual to see a left-sided player on the right, as they tend to be at a premium and end up on the left.
It can be very effective for a right-sided player to cut in from the wing and crack a shot across the goal into the top-right corner.
The shortage of decent left-sided midfield players has been a perennial problem for the English Football Team - we make do with right-sided players, but at top international level it’s always better to play left-sided players on the left.
Anyway, short answer to your question: yes, it does happen. 
Its rare to find seriously one-footed players at the top level of football nowadays. Most will favour one foot, especially for crossing the ball, but they will be more than capable with their other foot. Its true that left wingers will probably favour their left feet for crossing, but they’ll be OK crossing with their right. If they can’t they become very predictable and easy to defend against. Same goes for beating a man (to go past someone with the ball), this would be difficult to do in the professional game for a one-footed winger. They have predictable body-movement and are easy to defend.
The team I support has a full back who can be picked for right and left back as the need arises(although he is left footed)
We have a striker though who can only use his right foot to support himself while he kicks the ball with his left. He doesn’t always get that right though and often falls over But he did score over 20 goals with his left foot last season so we tolerate him.
Lee The Tractor Trundle-i’m surprised he can support all of his weight on one foot at all,given his “slight” frame.
Stagsfan.
In “Modern” football you’ll see players switching positions on offense all the time, anyway. And a right-handed player on the right (e.g.) almost has to be capable of feinting for the touch line, then breaking back and either crossing, or just dribbling into the 18-yard area, with his left – too predictable, otherwise.
There still are some “single-footed” players, but they become quite rare at the top levels of play
Interestingly, one of the player stats the game has is off-foot ability, so perhaps I’ll take a further look at that and see how it affects the choices.
I’m impressed. How did you glean that I was talking about Lee Trundle from my post?
You are fortunately also out of date, Trundle is a far slimmer player this season and I fully expect him to get another 20+ goals this year in spite of what I said in my previous post. Of course you won’t see him if you’re a Moansfield fan will you?
haha-think yourself lucky your even in our pyramid.You should,by rights,be in the LoW,but i’m sure you appreciate this already.Seeya next year maybe
