FIFA 23 is the next highly-anticipated title in the series that is bound to wow players upon launch. While the core gameplay of the series stays intact for the most part, it's the changes and updates to the players that many people are quite interested in. After all, football is a dynamic sport, and a player that might be on a season-long purple patch in prior seasons might be struggling to hit a decent patch of form as of now. Similarly, players that had yet to realize their potential are definitely making the most of their talent this season as well!

As a result, several positions in FIFA 23 feature some truly amazing players that have come up over time to become the very best in their particular role. This applies to the Left Back position as well, which houses a wealth of talent in the current footballing landscape. Here are some of the best Left Backs as per their rating in FIFA 23 that's been specified by EA till now.

10 Alex Sandro (83) - Juventus

Alex Sandro

There was a time when many people considered Alex Sandro to be one of the best LBs in the world. With the deterioration of Juventus' form and Sandro getting on in terms of years, it's clear to see why his rating has deteriorated over time.

However, there's no denying that he's still a highly effective and valuable Left Back to have in any team. Using this player to send in crosses into the box is a great way to apply pressure on the opposition's defense.

9 Marcos Acuna (84) - Sevilla

Marcos Acuna

Marcos Acuna is considered by many to be one of the most underrated LBs in the world. His career trajectory seems pretty unremarkable, although his move to Sevilla has drawn more eyes toward his style of play.

He's excellent both on and off the ball, serving as a great asset in both defense and attack. Players who manage to bag this player in FIFA 23 will be more than happy with the overall performance.

8 Lucas Digne (84) - Everton

Lucas Digne

Everton might be at a pretty low point right now, but there's no denying that the team is full of amazing talent. Lucas Digne is one such player that is rated highly by everyone despite the poor form of the team itself.

Aside from his passing skills, Digne is also a great player to get into the box for shooting opportunities. Attacking teams where everyone rushes into the box will benefit from Lucas' inclusion in the squad.

7 Luke Shaw (84) - Manchester United

Luke Shaw

Luke Shaw is a player that everyone is well aware of at this point. From his injuries to his issues with Mourinho, Shaw's rise from adversity to become the first-choice LB for Manchester United is definitely something to admire.

He might be playing less of an important role this season, but his quality in FIFA 23 is still palpable for everyone to see. His skills are excellent across all fronts, although players shouldn't try and place him in more advanced positions where he has a clear sight of goal.

6 Raphael Guerreiro (84) - Borussia Dortmund

Raphael Guerreiro

Borussia Dortmund is a team known for cultivating young talent before selling them off at a profit. As a result, the team ends up seeing many personnel changes over time... but their LB back position has been set in stone for the past few years.

Raphael Guerreiro has been a strong part of the team since 2016 and has proven why he's the first-choice LB for the team. His speed and dribbling in FIFA 23 are both excellent, making for two of his biggest strengths that can augment any team's attack down the left-hand flank.

5 Theo Hernandez (84) - AC Milan

Most people love having Theo Hernandez in their team. After all, the FIFA games are notorious for giving pacey players a massive advantage, and Hernandez is easily one of the fastest LBs in the game.

As a result, players can just feed the ball to this player and watch him absolutely blaze into the opposition third to set up a strong attack. He's been a driving force in Milan, and it's easy to see why players like him have helped the club ascend to the top of Serie A once again.

4 Alphonso Davies (84) - Bayern Munich

Alphonso Davies Fifa

Speaking of players that boast a ton of pace, it's impossible to not talk about Alphonso Davies. He's easily one of the fastest players in the game and can absolutely blast through any players as he roars into the opposition half.

Given how strong his pace and dribbling are in the game, FIFA 23 tries to balance this out by making his defensive and physical attributes somewhat okay-ish in comparison. However, he's still an extremely viable option for any player who wants a pacey LB in their team.

3 Jordi Alba (86) - Barcelona

Jordi Alba

It's a testament to just how strong Jordi Alba really is that he's still considered by many to be one of the best LBs out there. He's aged like a fine wine and is still a strong part of any team in FIFA 23 with his amazing 86 rating.

His speed, dribbling, and passing stats make him an excellent playmaker in his own right. For someone who's 33 years old, it's amazing to see just how great Alba's skills really are in the game.

2 Christian Gunter (86) - SC Freiburg

Christian Gunter

Most people didn't expect a player from SC Freiburg to be the second-highest-rated LB in the game. This is more indicative of just how underrated both the Bundesliga and its teams really are!

Christian Gunter is a brilliant LB who is considered by many to be one of the best players in SC Freiburg. As expected from any LB, his pace and dribbling are pretty great, but it's his physical stats that make him such a force to be reckoned with in FIFA 23.

1 Andrew Robertson (87) - Liverpool

Andrew Robertson

Liverpool might have hit somewhat of a rough patch right now, but there's no denying that the players in this squad are pure class. Their LB, Andrew Robertson is one such player that wears his heart on his sleeve in every match he plays for Liverpool FC.

His pace, dribbling, passing, and defending are all rater 80 or above, showing why he's one of the most complete LBs in FIFA 23. Hopefully, both he and Liverpool will regain their form over the course of the season to wreak absolute havoc in the league as they always do.

FIFA 23 is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
