There are two main attributes to look for when searching for a top right back, pace and stamina.
Defending is almost secondary for fullbacks in the modern game, but who are the best young options on FIFA 21?
The following seven players are the best-rated RB/RWBs aged 23 or under on Career Mode after the latest squad update.
Latest data and images sourced from SoFIFA.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (OVR 87 – POT 92)
Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold epitomizes what is expected from the modern full back.
TAA is excellent at both ends of the pitch, with 93 Crossing his best attribute. The England international will certainly provide some assists for you on FIFA 21.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (OVR 83 – POT 88)
Manchester United right back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is defensively one of the best full backs around.
While he may not offer as much going forward, AWB possesses good pace and 90 Sliding Tackle. No one gets round him!
Nordi Mukiele (OVR 80 – POT 86)
Tall, strong and quick across the ground, Nordi Mukiele is the perfect modern defender.
The RB Leipzig youngster has 87 Sprint Speed and 90 Jumping, so can easily revert to centre back if necessary.
Noussair Mazraoui (OVR 79 – POT 84)
With Sergino Dest now at Barcelona, Noussair Mazraoui has stepped up and seen his OVR rise +2 since the start of FIFA 21.

Mazraoui is technically sound, with decent pace and stamina attributes enabling him to play in midfield too.
Reece James (OVR 78 – POT 86)
Another player with strong attributes across the board, except shooting! Reece James may have something to say about that after his thunderbolt against Brighton earlier this season.
James’ 84 Crossing and 81 Sprint Speed are his best stats, though with 86 potential they will rise considerably.
Emerson (OVR 78 – POT 85)
On-loan Brazilian defender Emerson appears to be signed permanently on FIFA 21, so you can sign him straight off the bat.
The 21-year-old’s high potential and strong all-round attributes make him a top prospect at right back.
Gonzalo Montiel (OVR 78 – POT 85)
Argentine international Gonzalo Montiel has long been linked with a move to Europe after some terrific displays for River Plate.
With 86 Pace and 93 Stamina, Montiel will get up and down the right-hand side all day long.
