Best Right Backs in EA FC 27
15. Matty Cash (Aston Villa)

Overall: 81
Kicking off the list is Aston Villa’s Matty Cash.
The Polish defender is unlikely to feature in many teams, though. Solid but unspectacular across the board, his standout attribute is his relatively lackluster 81 pace.
14. Jeremie Frimpong (Liverpool)

Overall: 81
Frimpong may be the joint lowest-rated player on this list, but his blistering pace makes him a nightmare for defenders.
The Liverpool star boasts 94 pace and 82 dribbling, perfect for explosive runs down the flank. His 72 defense and 62 physical are weaker, but if you want a fullback who can wreak havoc on the counter, Frimpong is an exciting choice.
13. Julian Ryerson (Borussia Dortmund)

Overall: 82
Ryerson is a dependable all-rounder, with 82 physical and 78 defense making him a solid presence at the back.
The Borussia Dortmund defender also offers 77 dribbling and 76 passing. His 75 pace won’t blow anyone away, but he makes up for it with reliability on both sides of the ball.
12. Daniel Muñoz (Nottingham Forest)

Overall: 82
Muñoz brings defensive steel to the right flank, backed by 80 defense and 77 physical.
He also has 77 dribbling and 76 pace, giving him a useful mix of strength and mobility. He may lack elite numbers, but he’s a reliable option for managers who want balance.
11. Giovanni Di Lorenzo (Napoli)

Overall: 82
Di Lorenzo is a safe pair of hands at right back, combining 79 defense with 80 physical.
The Napoli captain’s 83 pace helps him keep up with quick wingers, while 73 passing and 72 dribbling make him useful in possession. He might not be flashy, but his defensive reliability speaks for itself.
10. Pedro Porro (Tottenham Hotspur)

Overall: 83
Porro is an attack-minded fullback who can help unlock defenses, thanks to his excellent 82 passing.
The Tottenham defender also boasts 79 dribbling and 78 defense. His 76 pace and 75 physical are less impressive, but his technical quality makes him a useful weapon in possession.
9. Matheus Nunes (Manchester City)

Overall: 83
Nunes brings serious speed to the right back role, with 87 pace making him one of the quickest options on this list.
With 80 passing, 79 dribbling and 78 defense, he’s an intriguing choice for attacking systems.
8. Denzel Dumfries (Real Madrid)

Overall: 84
Dumfries is a physical powerhouse, with 87 physical the highest rating among these 15 players.
The Real Madrid defender also offers 82 pace and 79 dribbling, making him a handful when charging down the wing. His 78 defense is solid, while his passing and shooting leave more to be desired.
7. Jurriën Timber (Arsenal)

Overall: 84
Timber’s 83 defense makes him one of the strongest defensive options in this ranking.
The Arsenal defender adds 78 dribbling and 78 physical, giving him a nice blend of technique and strength.
6. Trent Alexander-Arnold (Real Madrid)

Overall: 84
Few right backs can match Alexander-Arnold’s distribution. His 89 passing is comfortably the best in this ranking.
If you want a fullback who can pick out runners and create chances, he’s a standout choice.
5. Reece James (Chelsea)

Overall: 84
James combines strength, defensive quality and technique to deliver a well-rounded package.
The Chelsea star boasts 83 passing, 83 defense and 82 physical, making him effective at both ends of the pitch—though just 76 pace is his main limitation compared with the speedsters on this list.
4. Jules Koundé (Barcelona)

Overall: 85
Koundé is a defensive specialist, with 83 defense and 83 physical making him tough to beat.
The Barcelona star also has 82 pace and 78 dribbling, allowing him to handle quick wingers without sacrificing technical quality.
3. Marcos Llorente (Atlético Madrid)

Overall: 85
Llorente is a fullback built for high-tempo action, boasting 91 pace—the second-highest mark in this ranking.
He also offers 83 physical, 82 dribbling and 80 passing. Add 79 defense and 79 shooting, and you have a versatile player who can fly forward, win duels and contribute in the final third.
