FM24 Top Young Left Backs

It’s not all about the stars that shine brightest, with some of the talents listed below certain to make an impact in your save.

They may not all be household names, but these talents have more than enough in the tank to become important players for the future in FM24.

Alejandro Balde (Barcelona)

Alejandro Balde is the rising star of the Barcelona left side that would revolutionise your side’s prospects. 

His insane mix of pace, dribbling ability, and strength make him an incredible player, with a high potential ceiling! 

Playing for Barca and Spain, this man couldn’t come much more highly rated. This means you will almost certainly have any ambitious bids rejected. 

Keep a close eye, however, as this man is what we would define as a must-buy in Football Manager 2024 – if you ever get the chance. 

Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth)

Milos Kerkez was a real surprise star in Football Manager 2023. The young Serbian possesses a great range of stats and a wonderful potential rating. 

Recently moved to Bournemouth, Kerkez will now get the chance to showcase his talent on the biggest stage possible.

With Bournemouth flirting with the drop, you could even have the chance to snap up Kerkez on the cheap if the Cherries fall back into the second tier. 

If you do, we’d recommend you take that chance and bring this talented young full-back into your ranks.

Destiny Udogie (Tottenham)

Destiny Udogie was a banker to be one of the best wonderkid left-backs in Football Manager 2024 due to the sheer hype surrounding the Spurs starlet. 

His exceptional start to the season will have helped his cause. Tottenham boasts one of the most exciting wonderkids in world football.

✓ Top Tip

This is the guy

Destiny Udogie would be our top choice to sign at LB. He has great stats all-round, can start for your side straight away, and still has plenty of time to develop into one of the best around.

Udogie has everything you could possibly want from a full-back. He has incredible defensive stats and an exciting range of physical attributes that make him a threat on the offensive. 

With all that in mind, we really think this man should be near the top of your shopping list in Football Manager 2024. 

Luca Netz (Borussia Monchengladbach)

A man with a name familiar to many, Luca Netz has been a wonderkid in both Football Manager and FIFA/FC for a long time. 

Yet to live up to that hype, you could lift him to his full potential with the right development. 

Gladbach is still likely to drive a hard bargain though. This means you may still have to push the boat out in order to secure this youngster’s services in Football Manager 2024. 

Ian Maatsen (Chelsea)

Ian Maatsen is an intriguing option that many will likely overlook in Football Manager 2024. 

A talented Dutchman with the world at his feet, Maatsen has plenty of experience under his belt with both Coventry and Burnley. 

Turning down the chance to move back to Turf Moor in the summer, Maatsen is stuck at Stamford Bridge. This could be perfect for those players looking to bag a bargain wonderkid full-back in FM24.

His rating in the pecking order is low and that’s perfect for a loan or cut-price deal. The young Dutchman could be very much up for grabs in this year’s game.
