With many FIFA players opting to play with 3 at the back, the use of full-backs in the game has decreased. However, the prices and importance of these players has remained high and that is because of the amazing qualities these left-backs possess.
Without further ado, here are the predicted top 5 left-backs in FIFA 20:
#5 – Andrew Robertson (85)
Liverpool have been flying high this season and every single one of the players in the squad has stepped up. The Reds gave Manchester City a run for the Premier League title and only missed out on winning it by 1 point.
In the Champions League, they did the unthinkable and overcame a 3-0 deficit to beat Barcelona 4-3 on aggregate. While a lot of the credit will go to the forwards, the defenders are the actual heroes of Liverpool's season.
The one stand-out player at the back has to be Andrew Robertson. The £8 million signing from Hull City has been one of the best left-backs in the world this season and should be among the top 5 in FIFA 20.
Rated at just 81 initially in FIFA 19, EA Sports gave him an upgrade in February. The left-back was pushed from 81 to 83 in the FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades but that is just not enough to justify what he has done on the pitch.
EA Sports should consider giving him an even bigger upgrade when they decide the ratings for FIFA 20. While a lot of Liverpool fans would be asking to make him the highest rated left-back, that is just not possible.
There are a couple of others who are still better than him at the moment but if he maintains this consistency next season as well, he will surely be knocking on the door to be rated as the best in FIFA 21.
#4 – Alex Telles (85)
Alex Telles is in high demand. The FC Porto left-back has been so good that all the top European sides are keen on signing him.
Rated at 84 in FIFA 19, the Brazilian is in contention to get an upgrade. The fan-favourite full-back is not going to get a huge upgrade and will be pushed to just 85 from 84.
#3 – Alex Sandro (86)
Another Brazilian who has been in top form this season is Alex Sandro. Just like Telles, Sandro too is in demand and reports suggest that Manchester United and PSG are set to battle it out for him.
Rated at 86 in FIFA 19, he is likely to remain at the same rating in FIFA 20 too. Unless EA Sports decide to hand him an upgrade just to show that he is way better than Telles and Robertson, there is no reason why he should get one.
#2 – Marcelo (87)
Marcelo is set to lose his crown as the highest rated left-back in FIFA. The Brazilian has been inconsistent for Real Madrid this season and it won't be a surprise when EA Sports hand him a downgrade.
Rated at 88 in FIFA 19, Marcelo is set to be pushed to 87 in FIFA 20. While it is not a huge downgrade, EA Sports have to do it as he has not been at his best this season.
#1 – Jordi Alba (88)
Overtaking Marcelo as the best left-back in FIFA is Jordi Alba. The Barcelona star has been brilliant this season and there is no way EA Sports can not give him an upgrade.
Rated at 87 in FIFA 19, EA Sports should hand him an upgrade to 88 at least and make him the best left-back in the game.
