Key Attributes
On a centre back, two attributes assume particular importance on their performance: defending and physical.
A player with good at defending will have higher chances of dispossessing the opponent and avoid him reaching his box. The physical attribute measures how likely the players are to win possession with their body.

Lacroix, Upamecano and Klostermann are, in our opinion, the best centre-backs playing in Germany. You will be fine with any of them, but our preference goes for Lacroix, the faster and most balanced one. Upamecano could be our favourite if it wasn’t his dangerous high attacking work rate.
If all you want is pace, you should know that the faster CB in the world plays in this league: Jeremiah St. Juste. In the opposite side, Hummels and Ginter are amazing defenders but too slow to be in the top of our shortlist. We only recommend them for teams with three centre backs. In this case, the pace of the central CB is not so important.

THE BEST FIFA 22 BUNDESLIGA RIGHT BACKS
Right backs have exactly the same role of their team mates on the other flank. In other words, they try to make a winger’s job hard and participate in the team’s offensive manoeuvres.

Key Attributes
Defending and pace are very important attributes for any right back.
As defenders that they are, they should have good defending capacities. This reduces a team’s risk of conceding. A flanked game tends to be faster than a game based in the middle of the field. The players that fill these spaces need to be fast, both penetrating defensive and attacking moves of the team.

There is lack of quality among the right backs playing in Germany. Most of these players are slow and don’t even have good defensive skills. Mbabu and Mukiele are, in our opinion, the two best. The first one is faster and attacks better, while the other is more suitable if you want more focus on the defence.
Lainer is a decent alternative but, if you really want to build a good squad based on this league, you should focus in one of the first two from this list.

Alphonso Davies is, in our opinion (and probably almost everyone’s opinion), the best left-back playing in Bundesliga. He is the fastest LB in the world. Roussillon is a decent alternative to him. He’s very fast and consistent on both attack and defence.
If you want someone focused in the attack you have a very specific left back in this league. Guerreiro is the LB who has the best shooting, passing and dribbling stats in the entire world. In the opposite side, you have Lucas Hernández who will keep your goal safe but will not help the attack.
