The opposite happens in my 5 a side game. I'm a forward and I end up playing at the back because everyone else wants to bomb forward. We have a guy who isn't much better than Choucha* and misses sitter after sitter. The opposition defence doesn't bother marking him because he's so poor, so he's always free, so you always feel obliged to pass it to him. However, as good as you are at defending, if you don't score you won't win. Ironically, even though he's a poor footballer, when he's in his own half, he's a bit of a nuisance to the other side and will close people down, make tackles, etc.
*He's an Algerian lad who is all over social media. He's got a disability and basically goal hangs. His team mates set him up for shots, opposition goalies jump out of the way, and he still misses more than he scores.
