Left Backs (LB) are crucial in FC Mobile for both defense and attack. A great LB not only shuts down fast wingers but also supports offensive plays from the left side. The current meta favors pacey LBs who can keep up with the opponent’s quick attackers while still contributing to build-up and crossing.

Other Positions:
In the current FC Mobile meta, pace is everything for Left Backs. With so many fast wingers dominating the flanks, having an LB who can match their speed is essential. Players like Roberto Carlos or Marcelo stand out for their ability to combine defensive awareness with attacking support, making overlapping runs and delivering accurate crosses.
For players who prefer a more defensive approach, options like Maldini or Capdevila offer stronger positioning, aggression, and tackling, making them reliable against counterattacks.
Whether you choose an attacking or defensive LB, make sure they have high Pace, Tackling, and Stamina, as this position demands constant up-and-down movement throughout the match.

New Marcelo card is superb, does everything well and holds his position unless directly being used in a break. He can finish as well and with his pace if he gets the ball on a counter from a defensive corner he can shake free quick with the 5* skills. Yet to see him be bullied, really agile so turns to cut off the dribbler better then anybody I have used. He has been great at swiping the ball from the attacking player attempting a skill move as well.
Thanks! I forgot to add him because he was not released at the same time as the Week 1 players on Thursday.
Why can’t two identical names be on the list, even though they’re different cards? For example, let Roberto Carlos’ Ballon d’Or card remain in the top 10, if it’s good, even if there’s a better Roberto Carlos from the Glorious Era.
Because we want more variety in the top 10, people have more player options to choose from. In most cases, if a player appears in the top 10, his older card is also strong, just a bit outdated in terms of OVR.
Cucurella 112 is good add him
