Your definition of an attacking fullback differs from mine then. There is not only one type of attacking full backs, there are many variations. For example, Cafu is completely different to Alves in style, yet you call them both attacking full backs.

Crossing, stamina and willingness to get forward constitutes as an attacking full back for me, he is the best crosser in our team.
