Wonderkid Right-Backs

The position of full-back in football has developed dramatically over the past few decades. While their primary task used to be defending the flanks from opposition attacks, the modern day full-back is considered to be much more than that. They have far more emphasis in the attacking third and build-up phased of the game with defensive principles in some cases becoming almost an after thought.

Their fundamentals are a direct result of the influence of some great Brazilian footballers. Renowned for their flair, speed and attacking presence. Players like Roberto Carlos laid the foundation for today's modern full-backs and together with fellow Brazilian's like Dani Alves and Marcelo they set a new standard for young full-backs nowadays.

FM21 Wonderkid Right-backs

There are a total of 13 right-backs on this list and they vary from well-known and allready world-class players to lesser known and much cheaper ones. Best-known players on the list are Trent-Alexander Arnold, Reece James, Max Aarons, Sergino Dest and Achraf Hakimi. They are all considered elite full-backs and will cost you a big transfer fee.

Luckily there are other players on the list who are still cheap to sign. Your best bets will probably be Ajax's Devyne Rensch and Tomas Esteves, who is on loan at Reading. Hamburger SV wonderkid Josha Vagnoman still plays in the 2.Bundesliga with his club and he could be willing to make the jump to one of the bigger leagues in Europe.
