Full-back is one of the most underrated positions on the Ultimate Team pitch. On the one hand, they can work wonders defensively as they nullify the threat down the wing. On the other, they can be a secret weapon as they overlap into crossing positions.

FIFA is a game that relies heavily on pace, especially in wide positions, which unfortunately makes some left and right backs nearly unusable in the game’s meta.

With this in mind, these are EA‘s best FIFA 22 Ultimate Team full-backs set to dominate this year’s game.

If we’re honest, high-rated full-backs that fit the meta do tend to be few and far between, which means the ones that do can be very pricey. This being the case, you may want to look at some cheaper options to get the ball rolling when it comes to the best FIFA 22 Ultimate Team full-backs.

On the left side, Everton’s Lucas Digne has more than enough pace to cope with tricky wingers, while being French should help you with links to other players. For Bundesliga players, Guerreiro of Dortmund has a solid all-around card at a cheap price.

In terms of the opposite side, Denzel Dumfries is a pacy option in Serie A, while Reece James is a solid all-rounder for Premier League squads.
