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.

There are plenty of quality centre backs on this league but, in our opinion, Koulibaly and Škriniar are the best ones. They are very strong, fast and only Chiellini defends better than them.
Far of the quality of these two, you can also use Matthijs de Ligt, Manolas and Tomori. The first one is our favourite, because he is the most balanced one, but the other two are also interesting options, especially for those who love fast CBs (they are the fastest ones). There is also Chiellini and Bonucci, who are good defenders but too slow for most of the teams.

THE BEST FIFA 22 SERIE A 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.

It’s not from today but, as you probably know, there is a lack of quality on right backs from the Serie A. In our opinion, Juan Cuadrado is the best player in this position. He has the highest dribbling stats and the second best pace and passing. Only Florenzi has better shooting than him. Unfortunately, Cuadrado is not as good on the defence.
There are players you may use but your choice should take into consideration their weak points: Danilo is slow and more focused in the defence; Dumfires and Marušić have low passing stats; Lazzari is weak; and Di Lorenzo doesn’t have strong points.

There is more quality on the left side of the defence than on the right side, which isn’t difficult. However, there are only 13 left-backs from where to choose. It’s easy to agree that Theo Hernández is the best player for this position on this league, followed by Spinazzola and Alex Sandro, respectively.
To pick the best alternative to these three, you have to take a decide between the pace of Haps and the passing skills of Ansaldi.
