There's little chance that Alvaro Arbeloa will be winning the battle to be Real Madrid's first choice right back this season, so instead he may have to deviate from his favoured role and act as an understudy to Marcelo on the other side of the defence.

Arbeloa can play at left back, but the Brazilian is 100% Real Madrid's first choice for the role and it could end up being a long season on the bench for the ex-Liverpool man. 

Still, his FIFA 16 rating is a sturdy 80 - even while he was mostly used from the touchline by Los Blancos last season.
