Best young left-backs in EA FC 25

There are an enormous number of sparkling young guns in EA FC 25 and a whole heap of them play at left-back.

While not the most glamorous position on the pitch by any means, having a competent young left-back capable of stifling the likes of Bukayo Saka, Mohamed Salah and Lamine Yamal is absolutely essential.

So, whether you're an Ultimate Team advocate or Career Mode aficionado, here are the best young left-backs (aged 23 or under) in EA FC 25.

Best young left-backs in EA FC 25

Counting only those with left-back as a starting position, there is no denying the best left-back in EA FC 25. Lyon Feminin's Selma Bacha is not only 86-rated - making her the third-best in her position - she also boasts a staggering potential rating of 91 overall. That's as high as the game's current strongest players.

She's given a run for her money by a host of stars in the making in Liga F. Atletico Madrid Femenino have two incredible young left-backs in their squad, with Andrea Medina and Rosa Otermin having 88 and 87 potential respectively.

In the men's game, it's Barcelona's Alejandro Balde who cuts the most promising figure. The speedy left-back is adept at handling the game's fleet-footed wingers but also has the potential to rise from 81 to 89-rated in this year's game. That potential is also matched by 18-year-old Ajax sensation Jorrel Hato, but his max overall is 88.

If Balde wasn't quite quick enough for you then you can always upgrade to 95-pace Alphonso Davies of Bayern Munich. The Canadian, along with Josko Gvardiol and Nuno Mendes, can hit 87 overall if managed properly.

The Premier League boasts some impressive young guns on the left side of defence, one of which is Destiny Udogie. The Tottenham Hotspur man is joined by the likes of Rayan-Ait Nouri and Ian Maatsen in the left-backs with the highest potential.
