definitely he's neither a "soldier" nor an "artist"

championship stalwart sir mowbray of tony says that a *good* team has to have "the right blend of soldiers and artists", crnac has the size to be a soldier, but his best version feels more like a roaming, attacking artist than a pure championship warhorse, more of a hybrid.

he's not alone out of that cohort either, other hybrids: mattsson, maghoma, ben slimane & kvistgaarden.

soldiers: makama, wright, cordoba, mcconville, mahovo, kovacevic & grimshaw (goalies are always soldiers by default).

artists: schwartau, crnac, toure, diallo, jurasek & forson.

the lower down the pyramid you go, the more soldiers you need. i think
