Top 10 Meta LB in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team

While pace may not be as needed in this year’s FIFA, it is still an important attribute as your wide defenders battle tricky and pacey wingers. You should also look out for their crossing and strength stats!

Here are your Top 10 Meta Left Backs in FIFA 23

10. Renan Lodi

If you can’t afford the higher budget left-backs on this list, Lodi can make a great alternative. With 84 stamina he can run up and down the pitch setting up goals with his 81 crossing.

9. Robin Gosens

With no base card stats lower than 74, the Inter Milan man can be a rock at the back or a full-back bombing forward down the left-wing. He’s a great budget option for left-back.

3. João Cancelo

2. Theo Hernandez 

Hernandez is the pick for second best left-back in FIFA 23. Not only is the Frenchman rapid, but he also has top tier physical attributes for his position.

Mendy is FIFA 23’s best left-back. While similar in attributes to Hernandez, what sets Mendy apart is that 5-star weak foot.
