sadly folks don't "over complicate it"
think about it: managers give specific instructions to 11 individuals to create a cohesive strategy. in order to convey this each player needs to know what they're expected to do. if you say something to them like "you're playing defense" you'd get innumerable interpretations of what that looks like. if you break it down by situation e.g. "when that happens do this" you begin to create roles. this approach allows for more specificity, structure and the shorthand becomes around "roles" and not "positions" although the latter doesn't lose it's usefulness either.
So you.
1. Get players who are decent.
2. Coach them.
Pretty sure that has happened since the dawn of time.
