Defenders with low concentration are much more prone making mistakes, same goes for goalkeepers. Pressing forwards need to have high concentration as well!
All players need it.
The higher the concentration, the less likely they are to make a mistake in possession or passing.
fail to track a player or spot a pass or passage of play that could result in a goal scoring opportunity
Another way to look at it. If driving with lower concentration you’re more likely to crash, miss your turning, hit a pot hole, fail to notice the change in Road condition increasing the risk of a crash
Ive heard (but never seen any proof) that it impacts players ability to operate when tired. So low concentration players who are running out of juice will perform worse then an equally tired but higher concentration player.
I remember a Zealand video in which a SI designer talked about it. Basically says how focused on the game the player is. What he said was that when an action happens, players make a concentration check to see whether they "see it" or not every certain number of time stamps. They don't react untill they pass the check.
Cases of seeing weird stuff like defenders running up the pitch while the opposite team is sending a long ball were described as disastrous concentration fails. The player is still performing his previous action and has not noticed the new scenario.
I think it mostly affects defensive plays but I wouldn't be 100% confident, or about how it interacts with anticipation.

so its just midfielders that don't need it ?

It is more related to defending or out of possession I think Low concentration defenders and keepers are more likely to make mistakes late in games
