Top 10 Best LB In eFootball: Player Stats & Overall Ratings

The Left Back, also known as LB, is a position of utmost importance in any eFootball dream team. The main function of any LB is to keep the opposition attackers in check and nullify any offensive threat from the left flank. LBs are also expected to help during attacks by making runs out wide, delivering crosses and linking up play in the defensive halves. A good left back offers both offensive and defensive support to the team during transitions. In eFootball, LBs should have high defensive understanding, clean tackling, blocking and intercepting abilities. If they can cross and win duels, that is an added advantage.

There are different types of LBs in eFootball. From ‘Defensive Fullbacks’ who protect the back lines by intercepting passes and blocking shots to ‘Offensive Wingbacks’ who make attacking runs on the flanks towards the opposition's box and deliver dangerous crosses. There are also ‘Inverted Fullback’ who runs into the midfield whenever the team holds the ball. Below, we have brought to you the list of the best LB in eFootball.

Ranking Factors

1. Overall Rating: The overall rating of any left back in eFootball has been taken into consideration while ranking the players' cards. Once a card has been levelled out to max stats, including any boosters, it gets its overall rating. LBs with a higher overall rating are better due to high stats and skills, which makes them an automatic pick in the user's dream team.
2. Playstyle: As discussed earlier, eFootball LBs come with many play styles, each of which can be used best in distinct formations. Each type of left back operates very differently. eFootball offers these four types of playing styles for left backs: Defensive fullbacks, Offensive fullbacks, Fullback finishers and Inverted fullbacks.

This list covers the best LB in eFootball across all types of eFootball player cards (Epic, Epic Big Time, and Showtime) that are an asset to have in the team for any user.
