Having a good rightback inEA Sports FC 25’s career mode can be of huge impact, as they can provide a lot of solidity in the defense while also helping out in attack.

Chelsea FC
Reece James has had a very complicated career due to being so injury-prone, and we have no doubt that he would be a lot higher rated if he had consistent game time, but he can still be a pretty good signing, as his injuries don’t impact his in-game performances.
James is the perfect versatile fullback, as he is great at going up and down the field, and he has good defensive stats along with great passing and shooting as well. His physicality also poses a tough challenge for opponents, and he doesn’t come at too steep of a cost at all.

Wolverhampton Wanderers
Pedro Lima may not have the prettiest stats at first glance, but the fact that he can be bought for so cheap, and his high potential to grow into a world-class talent is what makes him a great signing for the career mode.
If you’re at a lower league club looking to make a signing to push you up the table, then Lima can be agood potential signing for the long term, as he is just 18 years of age. His high pace is also a further incentive to sign him, as he can easily keep up with lower-rated attackers.

Tottenham Hotspur
With all of his stats being above 70, Pedro Porro is a very versatile option at rightback. His high base rating makes him tough to purchase, but it can still be possible to negotiate a deal with Spurs if you’re willing to cough up enough money or if you can find a good swap deal.
Porro is 25 years of age at the start of the career mode season, meaning that he is just about to hit his prime and grow to his full potential in a couple of seasons, which means that the best way to go about it is to buy him as quickly as possible.
67
FC Porto
Martim Fernandes truly isone of the hidden gemsin EA FC25’s career mode. His low base rating and lack of any standout stats could fool you into thinking that he is not going to evolve into a great player, but with enough game time and practice, he can grow up to ten times the original price that you would buy him for at the start of the season.
You may need to have a little patience with Fernandes, as it will take him a few years to increase his stats, but the end result will be worth it as you will get a fast and physical rightback who will be worth the money.
76
Manchester City
Rico Lewis is Manchester City’s potential replacement for Kyle Walker, who has been a career mode legend for almost ten years now. As it will be tough to convince City to sell such an important part of their squad, he can be a very good loan signing for a season or two, especially if you’re in a mid-table club.
His dribbling and pace are Lewis’s greatest assets, making him an amazing attacking fullback, although he can more than hold his own in defense as well.
75
Liverpool
As you may have seen by now, the Premier League has no shortage of amazing up-and-coming rightbacks, and Conor Bradley is another great addition to that list. If you may’t quite afford to buy Trent Alexander-Arnold, then this is the perfect alternative, and he belongs to the same club as well.
Bradley is great at supporting his wingers, but his main specialty lies in his defending. His high physicality stats and high work-rate make him very tough to play against, and he also comes with the Relentless trait, which lets his stamina recover even quicker.
88
PSG
Hakimi is a player in contention for the best rightback spot in the world, and his stats in EA FC25 reflect it very well. What clearly stands out about this player is his pace, which allows him to keep up with the trickiest and fastest of wingers.
Apart from his pace, he also has great dribbling, passing, defending, and pretty much everything else, making him a very solid all-round player. He also has four-star skill moves as well as a four-star weak foot, making him one of the few rightbacks in the game with these traits.

87
A comparatively cheap signing who can be a starter for most good teams is Malo Gusto, who has the potential of becoming the best rightback in the world in a few years. He is also one of the most well-rounded stats in the game for a fullback, with all of his stats except shooting being above 70.
Some of Gusto’s traits, such as Jockey and Rapid, let him use his high speed to jockey players easily and dribble past players effectively as well. He also has the Slide Tackle trait, which allows him to let the ball stop at his feet while slide tackling.
90
FC Barcelona
If you’re looking for a traditional old-school rightback who will hold down the right flank of the team consistently and not be too aggressive in attack, then Koundé is by far the best option in the game. He is also the player with the highest potential in the rightback position, and his young age allows him to reach the highest ratings easily.
Koundé hassome of the best defending and physicality statsfor a rightback, and he possesses a lot of traits such as Jockey+, Relentless, and Quick Step, which make him worth all the money.
Although Kounde has the potential to be a higher-rated rightback than Trent, stats can be misleading at times, as Trent is a much better option for EA FC25’s career mode. He may be a little expensive to purchase, and his defensive stats might be a little low, but Trent Alexander-Arnold is still a once-in-a-generation player due to his offensive prowess.
Trent has some of the best long-passing stats in the game, and he is also an amazing freekick taker, which we rarely see from defenders. His crossing and passing abilities make him the best attacking fullback in the game, and he can also do a pretty good job in midfield if required.
