Maybe we should start using our heads (and previous experience from grid) to figure out the skills requested for each position
My educated guess (at least for offensive)

Ball Control, Technique, Shooting, Off the Ball - should be required for all (at least for all field positions)

Goakeeper - One on one, Reflexes, Agility
Playmaker - Playmaking, small size, Passing, Dribbling
Back - speed, agility, Passing, Jumping, Dribbling, tall guys
Wing - small size, speed agility, Jumping
Pivot - Strength, tall guys

Any other opinions are wellcome

I don't think that pivot needs dribbling.

Yes, i think you are right...probably the dribbling is mostly for play-maker and backs

Hmm..me thinks GI should have some of these stats..Aggression, Jumping.. Or maybe we should just take their FAQ..

Hah. BTW, those that know me from Grid-Iron, hopefully, know I'm just kidding. As I'm rarely the serious type. (I only signed up for this in hopes I'd get my sarcasm smiley)

Pulling this from the wikipedia article. Maybe it will give some idea

Offense

* Left and right wingman. These typically excel at ball control and wide jumps from the outside of the goal perimeter to get into a better shooting angle at the goal. Teams usually try to occupy the left position with a right-handed player and vice versa.
* Left and right backcourt. Goal attempts by these players are typically made by jumping high and shooting over the defenders. Thus, it is usually advantageous to have tall players for these positions.
* Center backcourt. A player with experience is preferred on this position who acts as playmaker and the handball equivalent of a basketball point guard.
* Pivot (left and right, if applicable). This player tends to intermingle with the defense, setting picks and attempting to disrupt the defense formation. This positions requires the least jumping skills but ball control and physical strength are an advantage.

Defense

* Far left and far right. The opponents of the wingmen.
* Half left and half right. The opponents of the left and right backcourts.
* Back center (left and right). Opponent of the pivot.
* Front center. Opponent of the center backcourt, may also be set against another specific backcourt player.
