Tom Bowen is a senior editor who loves adventure games and RPGs. He’s been playing video games for several decades now and writing about them professionally for the best part of a decade. Although he occasionally dabbles in news and features, he spends most of his time writing guides these days, with a focus on breaking down complex mechanics in major series like Final Fantasy, God of War, and Pokemon.
Finding a young right back with both a strong starting rating and elite potential can be harder than it sounds. EA Sports FC 27 has a few obvious options if you’re managing one of the bigger Career Mode clubs, but some of the best long-term value comes from players who are still well short of being first-team ready.
There’s a pretty dramatic spread in this year’s installment, from established 80-plus-rated players to teenagers sitting in the 50s and 60s with more than 20 points of potential growth. This guide highlights some of the best EA Sports FC 27 right backs based on the level of your Career Mode club, with both male and female players included.
Only players aged 25 or under at the start of the 26-27 season will be considered for this list.

The Best Young Right Backs for a Lower-League Team in EA FC 27 Career Mode
For a lower-league team, Besian Kutleshi is arguably the biggest project player, but 26 points of growth from 56 to 82 is a little hard to ignore. With 85 potential, Daniel Banjaqui has an even higher ceiling, while Xavi Espart starts a little higher and can also develop into an 85-rated right back.
The Best Young Right Backs for a Mid-Table Team in EA FC 27 Career Mode
For a mid-table team, Mimi Van Zanten has the highest potential of all EA Sports FC 27 right backs who are 25 or under at the start of the season, with 12 points of growth still available. Givairo Read offers the same amount of growth from a slightly lower starting point, while Avery Patterson is the most ready-made option thanks to her 80 overall.
The Best Young Right Backs for a Top-of-the-Table Team in EA FC 27 Career Mode
For a top-of-the-table team, Jurriën Timber is the safest signing, starting at 84 with the potential to reach 87 if managed correctly. Avery Patterson starts four points lower but has a slightly higher ceiling, while Melween N’Dongala sits between the two with an 81 rating and 87 potential.
