With the rise of fast, attacking wingers, it's only natural that Ultimate Team players will be on the hunt for the best Left Backs in EA FC 25. Thankfully I've curated an excellent list for you here, so check it out.

Much like their Right Back counterparts, a combination of Pace, Passing, and Defending makes for an excellent Left Back.
You'll need plenty of speed to keep up with wingers - who are often among the fastest players - and strong defending skills will help knick the ball back for a quick counter.
Passing is also key regardless of whether your LB hugs the touchline or likes to move inside. You'll then want to make sure that you've got the right Player Role and PlayStyles to accommodate your tactics, as that can make or break each player in your squad.
Best Left Back PlayStyles
With Player Roles requiring passing-focused styles or defensive-first approaches, it's only natural that different PlayStyles will be needed. Naturally, these are identical to the Right Back counterpart, but you might not want to match these roles depending on your tactic.

Best LB Player Roles
The best Player Role for your Left Back very much depends on your current tactics - especially considering the role of your Right Back.
While many tactics do employ two high and wide fullbacks or a flat back four, you might not always want to mirror your right and left sides.
Generally, I'd recommend going for the Wingback Player Role, as this creates a nice balance between attacking and defending, however, the number of fantastic offensive LBs could also facilitate an Attacking Wingback.
This will require you to make sacrifices elsewhere though, whether that be a more defensive midfield or a conservative Right Back pick.
