FIFA 20: Top 10 Right Backs (RB & RWB) to buy on Career Mode & Ultimate Team – Kimmich, Carvajal, Cancelo & more

Life as a fullback is about so much more than defending in modern football – those who play there must have supreme athleticism as they are required to both attack and defend in kind, which means a hell of a lot of running.

Tackling, dribbling, crossing, and even shooting skills are all a necessity for a top right back. Luckily, RealSport is here to help you find the right man.

How to choose the best right backs (RB & RWB) for FIFA 20 career mode

Here we are looking at the best right backs (RBs & RWBs) with a rating of at least 78 and a potential of at least 82. As we’ve mentioned, right backs require a high level of skill to perform for top teams, so be ready to part with some serious cash to secure these defenders’ signatures. 

For a full list of ALL the best right backs (RB & RWB) on Career Mode, look at the table at the end of this page.

Kimmich’s in-game stats suit the modern attacking fullback down to a tee – his 85 ball control and 86 aggression means he is unlikely to be dispossessed, whilst his 87 short passing and incredible 91 crossing demonstrate his attacking capabilities.

The Spaniard possesses very strong defensive stats of 85 defensive awareness, 87 standing tackles and 86 sliding tackles. His only let down as a fullback is his 68 sprint speed - if you sign him, you may want to consider playing him as a CB.

Ricardo Pereira came in to the Leicester side in the summer of 2018 and has been integral to the club’s current surge in form as they sit at second in the Premier League.

In FIFA 20, the Portuguese defender is a bit of a speed merchant (86 sprint speed, 85 acceleration) and will dispossess most attackers he comes up against with his 84 standing tackles. For his price, he is a no-brainer on Ultimate Team.

Nelson Semedo (OVR 82 – POT 87)

Age: 25

Position(s): RB

Club: Barcelona

He may not be the fastest right back on FIFA 20, but with 85 strength and 83 standing tackles, he’s unlikely to lose many 50/50 tussles. The Belgian defender makes for a relatively affordable squad player on both Career Mode and Ultimate Team.

Sergi Roberto (OVR 82 – POT 83)
