FM24.3 Wonderkids - Left-backs

The modern day left full-back is so much more than he was ten years ago. Where a left full-back was a defending minded player at first, the modern left full-back holds an essential role in build-up play and attacking shapes. The modern left full-back does not only need to defend, but also needs to be able to play the ball, give a good cross and have the fitness and stamina to cover a large areas on the side of the pitch.

In this article we have collected the best left full-backs in Football Manager 2024 by using our own Player Database.

Important - The list we present is based on the positions a player could play in. It is therefore possible a player will pop-up on more than one list. There are several examples of full-backs who can play on both sides of the pitch.

FM24 World Class Left-backs

Among the world-class left-backs, we see three potential superstars, although you could question whether Eduardo Camavinga or Levi Colwill are really left-backs. Fortunately, there is also a natural left-back with super high potential, and that is Alejandro Balde. The left-back from FC Barcelona is challenging to sign, and it seems highly likely that he is in for a long career with the Spaniards. Honorable mention goes to Patryck Lanza. The 19-year-old Brazilian has been a talent in Football Manager for many years but has never made the move to Europe.

FM24 Good Left-backs

A long list of potentially good left-backs in FM24. There are all sorts of options, with players who are already good enough for a bigger league and others who still have a lot to learn. Interesting players include Ethan Laird (1M), Dennis Cirkin (650k), and Jose Marsa (300k). Three talented backs, and all three of them are available for a bargain!

FM24 Decent Left-backs

Among the decent left-backs, we have a multitude of options in FM24. We know that these guys may never become the next Alphonso Davies, but that doesn't mean they can't become really good in some games. Most of them have dynamic potential, and if you're lucky, their potential can reach up to 80, making them potentially incredibly strong players. That's why this long list is definitely interesting! Some interesting players to highlight are Valy Konate (9k), Brayan Boci (1.4M), Arthur Zagre (300k), and Iacopo Regonesi (9K).
