Difficult to score without creating chances. Then again, an extremely efficient attacker would not need many chances, so it becomes a numbers game...Irrespective of whatever the actual positions are:
1st - Goalscorers (score to win games, normally strikers/forwards)
2nd - Chance Creators (usually midfielders but FBs now is getting popular)
3rd - Stoppers (outfield players are more valuable than GK for me, as they stop higher/earlier and can contribute more, keepers are last resort)
*
World's best players are usually a combination of the first two, with goals more often than not the key-est criteria. Chances for stoppers (eg. CBs usually) to win it is slim but not impossible. It has been like this from before up till now.
Personally for me, Chance Creators players are the most valuable, whether they're midfielders (usually) or even strikers/FBs/CBs/GKs.
Still, I agree with your personal opinion. Chance creators, or players involved with anything between the two boxes, are the most important and fundamental for a team. What happens in the two boxes can be performed by specialists.
