LB (Left Back) is one of the positions in the 4ATB (four at the back) formation. This position is usually occupied by players who not only can defend, but also attack and help the forwards from the left flank.
On H2H and Manager Mode, you will need both (defense and attack) from your LB player, but on VSA, most of the time you (or A.I.) will only use it for defense.
In every new season, EA will likely change the gameplay in Division Rivals. This season, left-backs are not only focused on defending in VSA, but they also contribute to attacks. It’s not rare for them to start the attack from the left flank. In some situations, you’ll need to pass the ball to your attackers, and in others, you’ll need to dribble and shoot toward the goal.
The most important attributes for defensive LBs in EA Sports FC Mobile 25 are Pace, Marking, Aggression, Tackles, and Interceptions. Then, there are dribbling, shooting, passing, and crossing stats for more attacking LBs.
In H2H or Manager Mode, the best LB (left back) for you actually depends on your playing style. If you prefer your LB to frequently join the attack and deliver crosses, while also having high pace, players like Theo Hernandez and Joao Cancelo might be more suitable for you.
However, if you prefer LBs who are more defensively oriented and don’t get caught out of position, players like Capdevila or Gvardiol could be a better fit.
Ultimately, it depends on your preferences and how you want your LB to contribute to your team.

Cheap Beast LBs
Are you looking for an affordable LB with good gameplay? Check out the cheap beast Left-Back recommendations below.
These Left-Backs have lower OVR, but their gameplay becomes quite impressive when ranked up and trained.
| Name | OVR | Program |
|---|---|---|
| Zambrotta | 99 | Hall of Legends Icon |
| Theo Hernández | 98 | TOTS |
| Ashley Cole | 100 | Retro Stars Icon |
| Grimaldo | 98 | TOTS |
| Gvardiol | 100 | Ballon d’Or |
Please note that all these LBs need to be Ranked and trained to display their best gameplay. The higher their Rank and Training Levels, the better their gameplay becomes.
You must also activate their Skills using Skill Points to maximize their stats. Left Backs have six types of skills to choose from: Defending, Passing, Balanced, No-Nonsense Fullback (Unlocks after Defending reaches Lvl. 3), Attacking Fullback (Unlocks after Passing reaches Lvl. 3), and Fullback (Unlocks after Balanced reaches Lvl. 3). Please read the guide on Skills and Skill Points here.
EA can do buffs or nerfs on left-backs in FC Mobile, and EA also always releases new cards along with new events, so the list above can change at any time. We’ll try to regularly update this list of the best left-backs in FC Mobile 25.
Also, check the best players in their respective positions :

thoughts on hato? or is he better at CB?
Which one is better for H2H ?
100 ovr Mendy (dynasty)
99 over roberto carlos ( copa )
100 ovr cole (retro star)
99 ovr ake (euro)
update? there’s new Hernandez TOTY
Is toty 104 DiMarco good
Gvardiol -Trick or Treat
Grimaldo – Ballon d’or or
Capdevila – Trick or Treat?
Why does zamprotta Southeast Asia cost 1000 points to redeem while elsewhere it only costs 750 points? in toty icon???
No, it costs 1,000 shards for all users.
What are your opinions on Capdevila 101 OVR? Is he worth using as a left back?
hell yeah , great in h2h dont know about vs mode
Gvardiol or Mendy !?!?!?!?!?
neither , get hernandez or grimaldo
What about Nathan Ake 99 and 97?
great for h2h not for vs
I have Nathan ale’s 99 rated euros card upgraded to 102 rating and full stats on defence and he has helped me defend very well for the past few months i highly recommend getting ake even though he’s pretty expensive as of now
Can you update the lish of all position? Thanks
We want refresh for the list’s for RB and LB and GK with new events
How is the new 100 rated mendy card from dynasty, should I buy him or 100 rated cucurella
Mendy. He is a beast.
Where are LWBs? Isn’t Riise like, really extremely strong with a ton of traits?
Maybe we will add them in the future. LWB and RWB are not popular positions and there aren’t many options available, so it shouldn’t difficult to choose the best players for those positions.
And we will not add LWBs to LB Rankings or RWBs to RB rankings because there are much better options in the LB/RB positions than in LWB/RWB, so they likely wouldn’t make the list.
Can capdevilla play as a left midfielder
You really should add the players from TOTS aye
This guide doesn’t mention which is the best Skill Boost for an LB/RB this season ? Previous season it was Defending Boost
That’s because we think this season is different from the previous season. Attributes in each Skill Boost are changed by EA so that there is no dominant/over powered skill boost over other boost skills like the previous seasons.
104 OVR UCL Highlight Player Alphonso Davies, 101 OVR Retro Star Marcelo Viera and Most importantly 99 OVR End of Era Leighton Baines Should be added in this list
Where is 99 OVR EOE Baines?
There is no davies 104 in this list and no 101 marcelo also
please update the list. its long time to wait
Where is TOTSSF Bernat?
Jonas Hector… 94
Bundesliga Rivals
FC Koln
Zambrotta 87 over is a monster
What about Davies 89 totssf
He is top 3
what boosts do you compare players to and at what ranks?
90 OVR Ricardo Rodriguez from Top Transfer is very good. His crossing is exceptional.
Also 95 TOTSSF Robertson
But he is awfully slow.
True. Also, his defending stats are not good. But the attacking side of Rodriguez is really good
how about tots robertson.
tagliafico 87 will match robertson when upgraded
There’s also Jonas Hector (OVR 94), from the Bundesliga event.
Who is better in potential? Alex Sandro 87 TOTY or Marcelo 90 LLR?
Lewis???
Where is hernandez carniball 97?
Where is Theo Hernandez 97 from Carnival?
Where is Bernat ???????(ovr-88) (carniball)
who is better hernandez or sule?
Sule is really good,but the thing is ,he can’t jump high,and that sucks especially during corners and when the opposition is crossing
Alex Telles(TOTW, 85OVR) is very very useful for both h2h and vsa. At 90+9( currently I’m using) he has 96 pace, 98 defending, almost 90 passing, 76 shooting! And the most impressive is 115 crossing which makes him beast in taking corners and performing crosses…Very useful.
Tagliafico
What about Davies 94 OVR?
Mendy FUTMAS or Alphonso Davies Player Moments. Both cards clean up on Ultimate Team.
It’s for FIFA Mobile, not console.
Danny rose should be there
He is a beast
Manu fans waiting for L.Shaw 😪
tbh i want brandon williams more then shaw
(and shaw will be a cb card anyway, which kinda sucks)
