Building your Career Mode team, you should have a set play style in mind that will influence your purchasing decisions. This article will take you through the best RBs in EA FC 24 and the biggest young talents, allowing you to have many options on who to sign in Career Mode!

Best right backs in EA FC 24

Firstly, let's start with the highest-rated right backs in the game that you can sign in Career Mode for instant success! These players are ready to make an instant impact on any Career Mode squad if you can convince them to join your team!

What makes a good right back?

A right back's role is to control the right side of the backline and to prevent the opposition from getting past through the wing. In the modern game of football, right-backs tend to play more than one role such as overlapping their wingers, making progressive passes, and also potentially playing inverted to join the midfield.

A good right back now can play multiple roles and be able to slot into different play styles, thus, a good right-back to you may be different to what someone else would consider to be a good right-back.

Best RBs in EA FC 24

We will now take a look at the best RBs in EA FC 24, these players have already reached their potential and are currently playing at the top level of football.

There will be a top three for both top players and top talents with a couple of extra honourable mentions that are also great alternatives!

Trent Alexander-Arnold (OVR 86)

For the second year in a row, Trent Alexander-Arnold is the best right back in the game. Despite a lacklustre season last year, there is no doubt that the Liverpool player is an elite right-back

Arnold isn't the fastest right back in the game, but he is a good defender, has decent physical attributes, and has world-class passing attributes. He shines on counterattacks, where he can place accurate through balls, or deliver crosses with pinpoint accuracy.

Kieran Trippier (OVR 85)

Newcastle had an incredible 2022/23 season, and Kieran Trippier was a big part of that. In EA FC 24, Trippier is the second-best right back in the game, with an 85 OVR.

Trippier is very slow, with only 68 pace, which can make it harder for him to catch up with fast wingers. However, he has great defensive awareness and knows where he needs to be to intercept the ball or stop a dangerous counterattack.

Giovanni Di Lorenzo (OVR 85)

Just like Trippier played a key role in Newcastle's success, Giovanni Di Lorenzo did the same for Napoli. He helped the Italian side win their first scudetto in 30 years, and that saw his rating improve significantly, with Lorenzo having an 85 OVR in EA FC 24.

Lorenzo is a very well-rounded right-back. He is incredibly fast, has great defending and psychical attributes, and can be very dangerous in counterattacks.

Reece James (OVR 84)

Reece James is the fourth-best right back in Career Mode, with an 84 OVR. James is already an elite player, but he is still far from reaching his prime. Since he is only 23 years old, by buying James you are guaranteeing an elite right back for the next 10-plus years.

James, similar to Lorenzo, is very well-rounded, with shooting being his weakest department. He has 80 pace, 83 passing, 82 dribbling, 82 defence, and 81 psychical.

Kyle Walker (OVR 84)

Kyle Walker is a fantastic player for instant success in Career Mode, with the ability to play as an attacking full-back while also maintaining great defensive attributes he can also play as a wide CB, ideally in a three-at-the-back formation!

Arnau Martinez (Girona - 80 OVR 87 POT)

Another talented RB this time coming from Girona by the name of Arnau Martínez, is ready to slot into most Career Mode teams at 80 rated. He is a fantastic defender with good pace and physicality. Martinez is one of the most complete defending RBs on this list!

Ivan Fresneda (Real Valladolid - 72 OVR 85 POT)

Iván Fresneda was wanted by many clubs in the transfer window and ultimately ended up picking Sporting CP. He is a great full-back with very good dribbling, perfect for him to progress up the pitch with. He has good stamina in EA FC 24 allowing him to track back if he is playing more attacking football.

Malo Gusto (Chelsea 76 OVR 85 POT)

A rapid full-back who is ready to light up the Premier League at Chelsea. Brilliant for making wide overlapping runs and with 85 potential Gusto develops into a fantastic RB!

Tino Livramento (Newcastle United - 74 OVR 83 POT)

Livramento has made a big move to Premier League giants, Newcastle United. The talented full-back is a fantastic prospect who plays very nice football, hence why Newcastle United signed him!

Rico Lewis (Manchester City - 73 OVR 86 POT)

A fantastic young talented RB who has already broken into Manchester City's first team and is currently making a name for himself. Rico Lewis has played as an inverted full-back role under Pep due to his understanding of the game and great passing!
