FIFA 20 Ratings: Best Possible XI

10. LB - Jordi Alba

EA Sports

Club: Barcelona

Overall Rating: 87

FIFA Top 100 Ranking: 42

It's totally possible to play higher-ranked defenders like Giorgio Chiellini and Kalidou Coulibaly at left back. They're always going to be decent regardless of exactly where on the back line you place them. However, rules are rules, and the criteria for this list stipulates one player per position.

That leaves Barca's Jordi Alba free to grab the LB slot and make it his own.

Of the five left backs in the Top 100 (Alex Sandro, Marcelo, David Alaba and Andy Robertson are the others), Alba has the advantage in EA's mind. His pace is like lightning, his dribbling amazing, his passing spot on and his shooting good for a defender. Even so, it is questionable whether he'd suit managers who like wing backs that run up and down all game without dropping below 50% stamina.
