Best right-backs to sign in Football Manager 2024

The role of a right-back in football is dependent on the team's playing style, but generally, the main aspect of their skill set is their physical attributes. If the right-back is playing as a No-Nonsense Full-Back, they will require strength, while other roles will require good speed and stamina to cover the flank for the entire game.

Regarding mental attributes, certain qualities like positioning, concentration, decision-making, anticipation, and off-the-ball are crucial. Right-backs need to make various choices about their positioning and how much they can commit to an attack without compromising their defensive duties. Furthermore, some of these attributes are critical for executing final third movements.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Tackling: 20

Agility: 18

Acceleration: 17

When it comes to the defensive aspect, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is the best option at right-back. With 20 tackling and fantastic physical attributes, AWB is a great choice for a starter. His contract expires in the summer of 2024, so you could get him for £30m.

Dani Carvajal

Tackling: 15

Crossing: 14

Work Rate: 18

Carvajal is completely different from Wan-Bissaka. He is an established crosser and way more useful in the attack but is also reliable on defense. Carvajal’s strong attributes are Bravery (18), Aggression (17), Off the Ball (17), Determination (16), and Teamwork (16). Real Madrid would sell him for £15m, but Carvajal would ask for a massive wage. Still, if you manage a top club with a big budget, Carvajal is one of the best right-backs to sign in Football Manager 2024.

Benjamin Henrichs

Tackling: 15

Work Rate: 15

Stamina: 15

Similar to Dani Carvajal, Henrichs has excellent mental attributes and is equally effective on both attack and defence. He can also be more than useful at the left-back. Leipzig would ask around £22m for Henrichs – quite affordable for a 26-year-old. Don’t ignore the fact that Henrichs has 14 Passing.

Vanderson

Tackling: 13

Crossing: 15

Passing: 14

Another offensive option at RB, Vanderson is only 22 and can successfully cover the entire right flank. With 14 Dribbling, 14 Technique, and strong physical attributes such as Natural Fitness (16), Stamina (15), Acceleration (15), Pace (15), and Agility (15), Vanderson will become a monster. He will cost around £22m.

Iván Fresneda

Tackling: 14

Marking: 14

Pace: 15

Fresneda is a true wonderkid and one of the best right-backs to sign in Football Manager 2024. Although he recently went from Valladolid to Sporting Lisbon, you can buy him at the start of your save for around £25m. It would be a smart move for both the present and future, considering Fresneda is an 18-year-old teenager.
