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 |
|---|---|---|
| Mendy | 92 | Winter Wildcards |
| Hernández | 94 | Rivals |
| Ashley Cole | 94 | TOTY Icons |
| Capdevila | 95 | Heroes |
| Alphonso Davies | 94 | Lunar |
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 :

Hopta says
What about Nathan Ake 99 and 97?
cy says
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
Prince says
Can you update the lish of all position? Thanks
Abdou says
We want refresh for the list’s for RB and LB and GK with new events
Himanshu Surana says
How is the new 100 rated mendy card from dynasty, should I buy him or 100 rated cucurella
admin says
Mendy. He is a beast.
David says
Where are LWBs? Isn’t Riise like, really extremely strong with a ton of traits?
admin says
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.
Feranmi says
Can capdevilla play as a left midfielder
zuum says
You really should add the players from TOTS aye
Blasphemer says
This guide doesn’t mention which is the best Skill Boost for an LB/RB this season ? Previous season it was Defending Boost
admin says
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.
SAHIL says
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
BagetAgent01 says
Where is 99 OVR EOE Baines?
NemesisSpidoc says
There is no davies 104 in this list and no 101 marcelo also
santu says
please update the list. its long time to wait
Kristian says
Where is TOTSSF Bernat?
Shibi Raj says
Jonas Hector… 94
Bundesliga Rivals
FC Koln
Ahmed Samir says
Zambrotta 87 over is a monster
Muizz says
What about Davies 89 totssf
He is top 3
leo says
what boosts do you compare players to and at what ranks?
BagetAgent01 says
90 OVR Ricardo Rodriguez from Top Transfer is very good. His crossing is exceptional.
BagetAgent01 says
Also 95 TOTSSF Robertson
Bri says
But he is awfully slow.
BagetAgent01 says
True. Also, his defending stats are not good. But the attacking side of Rodriguez is really good
Stuff says
how about tots robertson.
Ganzie YNWA says
tagliafico 87 will match robertson when upgraded
Técio says
There’s also Jonas Hector (OVR 94), from the Bundesliga event.
RobertoS says
Who is better in potential? Alex Sandro 87 TOTY or Marcelo 90 LLR?
Orlando says
Lewis???
ace17 says
Where is hernandez carniball 97?
Tanmoy Abir says
Where is Theo Hernandez 97 from Carnival?
yavi817 says
Where is Bernat ???????(ovr-88) (carniball)
joesephi says
who is better hernandez or sule?
Nihal says
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
Somnath Mukherjee says
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.
JVB says
Tagliafico
RobertoS says
What about Davies 94 OVR?
The_Bear_Big_T says
Mendy FUTMAS or Alphonso Davies Player Moments. Both cards clean up on Ultimate Team.
admin says
It’s for FIFA Mobile, not console.
Sai says
Danny rose should be there
He is a beast
coldab says
Manu fans waiting for L.Shaw 😪
Stuff says
tbh i want brandon williams more then shaw
(and shaw will be a cb card anyway, which kinda sucks)
