Right-backs in FC 26 need more than pace. They must track back, link play, and sometimes even provide goals. These are the top five options:

1.Thierry Correia (Serie A)-Budget beast with FC 26 Coins Anticipate, Rapid, Quick Step, and Bruiser. Perfect for Evolutions.

2.Alexander Bah (Liga Portugal)-Year after year, one of the best starter RBs. Seven base playstyles including Whipped Pass and Bruiser.

3.Ole (Premier League)-Balanced across the board, with Quick Step and the rare Rory Delap Trait for long throws. Might be slightly inflated due to EPL tax.

4.João Cancelo (Saudi League)-Four-star, four-star, tons of versatility, and technically gifted. Great for attacking play.

5.Marcos Denter (Centurions nostalgia pick)-With Inverted Wing-Back Plus+, he brings both flair and meta utility.

Verdict: Bah is the safe budget pick, while Cancelo will be the flashy early meta option.

Left-Backs: Balance and Bombing Runs

Left-backs are often either defensive walls or pace merchants. In FC 26, a few names stand out:

1.David Raum (Bundesliga)-Key for chemistry in Germany, ticks all the boxes, though may be slightly overpriced early.

2.Sakina Karchaoui (D1 Arkema, France)-Lengthy at 5'8 despite her size, offering unique pace + balance combos.

3.Nuno Tavares (Serie A)-Strong with Quick Step, Rapid, and Anticipate. Six-foot tall and a reliable defender.

4.Joško Gvardiol (Man City)-Can flex between LB and CB, with Block, Pinged Pass, and Jockey. Lacks top pace but makes up for it in strength.

5.Antonee Robinson (Premier League)-Premier League speedster with Relentless, Rapid, and Whipped Pass. Could sneak under 10k early.

Verdict: Robinson looks like the meta EPL starter, while Tavares is the Serie A value option.
