Top Rising Right-Back Stars You Must Scout for EA FC 26 Career Mode Domination

Full backs have never been more crucial in EA FC 26. Whether you prefer high-pressing tactics or wide attacking play, their impact on matches cannot be underestimated.

In Career Mode, however, it's not simply about securing talented players for immediate use—you'll need promising young right backs who can develop alongside your squad and become cornerstone players, whether you're controlling a top European club or leading a smaller team to success.

With this in mind, we've compiled the top young right backs in EA FC 26 Career Mode (left backs will be covered in another article) – all aged under 23 and priced below £40 million, providing the ideal combination of talent, growth potential, and value for your team.

10. Rico Lewis (Manchester City)

Value: £15.9 million
Age: 20
Rating: 77
Potential: 84

Among the most well-rounded players featured here, Manchester City's Rico Lewis displays excellent attributes in all areas—from distribution and defense to speed—and provides remarkable flexibility, capable of operating at right back, left back, or even central midfield.

However, his hefty wages at City might present a challenge for numerous clubs.

9. Kyriani Sabbe (Club Brugge)

Value: £3.5 million
Age: 20
Rating: 71
Potential: 84

Standing at just 5'8" with explosive speed, Club Bruges' Kyriani Sabbe is a dynamic player who provides genuine offensive danger along the right wing—and at an excellent price point.

His weak defensive abilities, though, might make him more suitable for a right wing position, where he can also function as a flexible option.

8. Elias Baum (Eintracht Frankfurt)

Value: £4.5 million
Age: 19
Rating: 72
Potential: 84

Similar to Sabbe, Elias Baum can operate as a right winger, but unlike Sabbe, the German is more naturally suited to right back due to his reliable defensive skills, exceptional endurance, and outstanding pace – making him perfect for a full back who can charge up and down the flank.

His distribution and crossing abilities, though, will require development if you want him to become a true offensive weapon.

7. Josh Acheampong (Chelsea)

Value: £2.9 million
Age: 19
Rating: 70
Potential: 85

An extremely budget-friendly acquisition with significant potential, Chelsea's Josh Acheampong represents excellent value—even if you don't require him exclusively at right back.

Physically imposing and technically gifted, he can operate at centre back, right wing, or even as a holding midfielder.

6. Martim Fernandes (Porto)

Value: £9.3 million
Age: 19
Rating: 75
Potential: 85

Featuring excellent speed, precise short distribution, quality crossing, and reliable standing and sliding challenges, Porto's Martim Fernandes is a balanced right back who can impact both phases of play while maintaining scope for improvement.

His 'Whipped Pass' PlayStyle enhances his crossing effectiveness, bringing additional potency to your offensive strategy.

5. Wesley (AS Roma)

Value: £18.2 million
Age: 21
Rating: 77
Potential: 85

Currently among the quickest in his role, with exceptional dribbling, mobility, positioning, and excellent crossing and passing abilities, AS Roma's Wesley is a comprehensive attacking force, establishing him as one of the finest offensive full backs available in Career Mode.

His defensive and physical characteristics aren't lacking either and can be significantly enhanced through proper training, transforming him into a genuinely complete right back.

4. Jon Mikel Aramburu (Real Sociedad)

Value: £18.2 million
Age: 22
Rating: 77
Potential: 85

Jon Mikel Aramburu offers a comparable alternative to Wesley regarding cost and potential, but while Wesley excels in attack, Aramburu establishes his reputation—or has the capacity to do so—in defensive situations.

For those seeking a more dependable, conventional right back in a four-man defense, few show as much promise as the Real Sociedad player.

3. Joaquin Seys (Club Brugge)

Value: £5.6 million
Age: 20
Rating: 73
Potential: 86

Another Club Brugge right back with enormous potential, Joaquin Seys offers decent pace, an outstanding four-star weak foot, and the adaptability to operate at left back. Combined with his high development ceiling, he represents a wise investment for the future.

His defensive statistics may begin modestly, but with appropriate development, they can improve considerably.

2. Tino Livramento (Newcastle United)

Value: £25.6 million
Age: 22
Rating: 80
Potential: 86

Newcastle's Tino Livramento possesses the abilities to feature regularly for most squads immediately, and the potential to evolve into an elite full back capable of performing on both flanks.

He may not excel in any specific area, but his overall quality establishes him as one of the most complete young defenders available.

1. Givairo Read (Feyenoord)

Value: £10.4 million
Age: 19
Rating: 75
Potential: 88

Feyenoord's Givairo Read stands as the premier young right-back to acquire in EA FC 26 Career Mode—and the margin isn't close.
