The Best Centre Backs


The presence of skilled central defenders in front of a goalkeeper greatly facilitates their task. These defenders play a crucial role in preventing the opposing team from approaching your team’s goal in a dangerous manner.

Two attributes are particularly significant for central defenders: defending and physicality. A player with strong defending abilities has a higher likelihood of successfully dispossessing opponents and preventing them from reaching the penalty area. The physical attribute measures the players’ ability to use their bodies effectively in winning possession.

The Best FC 24 Ligue 1 Centre-Backs

Global Overview (CB)


Marquinhos has tremendous defensive skills and is also good with the ball on his feet. Kimpembe is slightly more robust, but his teammate is better in everything else. They are the best two CBs you can use on Ligue 1.

In our opinion, Mukiele is the best alternative them. He’s fast and good on the defense. Tiago Djaló and Mbemba are also interesting options.

If you don’t need a fast center-back, Sergio Ramos may be a helpful element in your team.

FC 24 Ligue 1 Defenders

The Best Right Backs


The role of Ligue 1 right backs is similar to their counterparts on the opposite flank. Their primary objective is to make it challenging for opposing wingers and actively contribute to their team’s offensive strategies.

Defending and pace are crucial attributes for any right back in the French League. As defenders, they need to possess strong defensive abilities to minimize the risk of conceding goals.

Given the nature of play on the flanks, which tends to be faster than the central areas of the field, right backs need to be quick, capable of both defensive and attacking movements, and able to penetrate the opposition’s defenses. They play a vital role in supporting the team’s overall gameplay.

The Best FC 24 Ligue 1 Right-Backs

Global Overview (RB, RWB)


Hakimi is the most exciting right-back playing in France, and it’s easy to understand why. In six face stats, he wins in four (!). The PSG defender is an amazing player, but he is also expensive. If you need a decent alternative to him, we suggest you try Mukiele. He’s not as fast as most other fullbacks, but he is solid on the back.

Clauss and Hamari Traoré are other players you can use on the right side of your defense.

The Best Left Backs


Left backs have the same role as 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.

Defending and pace are vital attributes for any left 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 in the middle of the field. The players that fill these spaces need to be fast, penetrating, defensive and attacking moves of the team.

The Best FC 24 Ligue 1 Left-Backs

Global Overview (LB, LWB)


Left fullbacks are not the best players in Ligue 1. Only a few are playable. The others are not fast enough or more suitable to play in other positions.

In our opinion, Nuno Mendes is the best choice. However, Tagliafico is also interesting, especially if you want to give a special focus to the defense.

For low-budget squads, we suggest trying Ismaily.
