1. Alphonso Davies (83 OVR, 88 POT)
Team: Bayern Munich
Age: 22
Wage: £54,000 p/w
Value: £44 million
Best Attributes: 95 Sprint Speed, 96 Acceleration, 86 Agility
The first player on my list of best young left backs in EA Sports FC24 career mode is Alphonso Davies. He is one of the fastest left backs with an 83 overall and a potential to reach 88 rating if properly nurtured.
Although mainly playing as an attacking full back on the left flank, Davies is capable of playing as a wing-back due to his explosive pace (95 Sprint Speed and 96 Acceleration), dribbling (85 Dribbling), creativity (78 composure and 77 vision), and crossing ability (85 Crossing).
The 22 year old joined the German side Bayern Munich on a transfer fee of £13.5 million from Vancouver Whitecaps FC in 2019, which now appears to be outstanding business from the German giants.
Having scored 1 goal with 5 assists in 25 Bundesliga games last year, Davies is one of the world’s best young defenders and continues to develop himself which is why he’d be a great addition to your team in career mode.
2. Nuno Mendes (82 OVR, 87 POT)
Team: PSG
Age: 21
Wage: £53,000 p/w

At an 82 overall, and with the predicted potential to reach an 87 rating in Career Mode, Paris Saint Germain’s Nuno Mendes has made his name as one of the hottest young left backs in the world right now.
Known mainly for his offensive capabilities, speed, and technical qualities, which allows him to create danger either from a standing start or whilst on the counter-attack.
