Deep-lying playmakers pretend to be defensive midfielders .
The registas or deep-lying playmakers , usually jersey numbers 8 , 6 or 5 ( in South American football ) , operate from a deep position , in or even behind the main midfield line , seemingly in the position of a defensive midfielder , where they can use space and time on the ball to orchestrate the moves of the whole team , not just attacks on goal .
