FIFA 23 Best Left Backs

Player Name	Club	Nationality	Overall	Potential	Age
Joao Cancelo	Bayern Munich (on loan)	Portugal	87	87	28
Andrew Robertson	Liverpool	Scotland	86	86	28
Theo Hernandez	Milan	France	85	90	24
Marcos Acuña	Sevilla	Argentina	85	85	30

Alphonso Davies	Bayern Munich	Canada	84	89	21
Ferland Mendy	Real Madrid	France	83	84	27
Grimaldo	Benfica	Spain	83	84	26
Raphael Guerreiro	Borussia Dortmund	Portugal	83	83	28
Jose Gaya	Valencia	Spain	82	82	27

The best LB in FIFA 23 Career Mode is Joao Cancelo with an 87 OVR. However, you will not be able to sign the Portugal international in your first season as he is out on loan at Bayern Munich from Manchester City.

Pace and Stamina are key factors for a full-back, with speed a vital attribute when defending, and also a useful weapon in attack. Ultimate Team favourites Alphonso Davies, Ferland Mendy, and Theo Hernandez would be our picks as the best left-backs to sign in Career Mode, especially if you are looking to bring in a world class player to fill the position.

Andrew Robertson and Jordi Alba are two quality performers, but they will be expensive and are unlikely to improve on their current ratings.

David Alaba and Lucas Hernandez are two players to consider for the role too. Their primary position is CB, however LB is an alternate position. Both players possess strong physical attributes, although their acceleration and sprint speed stats may not be as high as some of the more natural left-backs.

Barcelona’s Alejandro Balde will become a top-class player in both real life and in FIFA 23 Career Mode. Balde’s blistering 91 Sprint Speed means he can outrun any winger than crosses his path.

One player to consider is Udinese wing back Destiny Udogie. The Italian teenager also possesses an 89 potential and is blessed with great pace, but you will have to set him on a left-back development plan to alter his position.
