FIFA 20: The Top 10 Left Wingers (LW & LM) to buy on Career Mode & Ultimate Team – Neymar, Hazard, Mane & more

Signing the right wide players is crucial as they have become such an important part of the modern attacking game.

Nowadays, a winger must have speed, strength and finishing ability, on top of the traditional dribbling and crossing skill set.

Luckily for you, here at RealSport we have picked out the best left wingers and midfielders on FIFA 20.

How to choose the best wingers (LW & LM) for FIFA 20

Here we are looking at the best left wingers (LWs) and left midfielders (LMs) with a rating of at least 82.

Left wingers have become one of the most important positions in the modern game, so be prepared to part with some serious cash to secure these guys’ signatures. 

For a full list of ALL the best wingers (LW & LM) on Career Mode, look at the table at the end of this page. 

Neymar Jr (OVR 92 – POT 92)

Wage: £261,000 a week

FUT Price: 989k PS4 / 846k Xbox One

The ex-Barca man is not only the best left winger in the game, but the third best player on FIFA 20. Unlike most talented youngsters who crumble under pressured expectations, Neymar has gone above and beyond his potential, reflected by his 92 overall.

His 96 agility and 96 dribbling means that defenders will be reluctant to tackle Neymar, out of fear of humiliation.

After helping Chelsea win one last piece of silverware before his departure in summer, Hazard can now be found on the left channel at Real Madrid.

His overall rating of 91 is one of the best in FIFA 20, whilst his 89 vision and 91 composure means he has the capability to either stay out wide and get a ball in, or cut in and shoot; evidently, signing this man will keep opposition defenders guessing.
