In a game where the winger meta dominates, no position impacts both defense and transition play quite like the fullback. LBs and RBs need to be solid defensively, while also making runs forward to impact the attacking third. It's also important that they are good with the ball, being good at crossing, link-up play, and switching the play.
While speed and physicality are important, they aren't the be-all end-all of an elite LB or RB. Being good on the ball, having great defensive awareness, solid passing, and fantastic stamina, as you will be running up and down the field the entire game, are key attributes.
In this guide, we've broken down the best LB and RB builds for FC 26 Clubs. From builds capable of locking down wingers, fullbacks who fly forward as wingbacks, to those who act as secondary playmakers.
