The Austrian international has the ability to play as a defender, a central midfielder, and even as a winger and he’s been used in all sorts of positions during his time with the German Rekordmeister thus far. A look at his entire career for club and country as a whole, statistics would show that Laimer is a central defensive midfielder by trade, but he’s really morphed into a Swiss-army-knife at both Bayern and the Austrian national team, especially with how well he’s been able to play as a right back under Vincent Kompany.

His consistency and ability to deputize as right back has been especially important this season given the injury that Croatian Josip Stanišić was recovering from for most of the beginning of this season. While away with the Austrian national team for the international break, Laimer spoke about his different positions played and said that he’s been enjoying his time as a fullback with the amount of the ball he’s able to see and help he’s able to provide on both sides of the ball. “I’ve always enjoyed every position I played at.

I’m having fun playing as a full-back at the moment. I have a lot of the ball, I can help the team going forward and at the back. As long as I’m on the pitch, I’m not bothered by the position,” he explained (via @iMiaSanMia ).
