Football Manager 2016: 20 Left Backs You Need To Sign
Build from the back.
The left-back position is the most under-valued on the field (on par with right-back...) yet if used correctly, a pair of top full backs can be the difference between your team being 'good' and 'great'. You may be a defensive manager coveting a 10ft tall rearguard, but the purpose of a full-back is shifting into a new age of using them as secondary wingers. Tackling, strength, anticipation, positioning, marking are all important things to keep an eye on, but in today's world, pace, stamina, crossing and dribbling are all sought-after. Here we have a definitive list of the top left backs you can hope to buy on Football Manager 2016. Some of the obvious or completely unrealistic stars such as David Alaba, Jordi Alba, and Marcelo won't feature. You already know they're world class. However, you will find young wonderkids, bargain pickups and hidden superstars for your top league teams...
