LB (Left Back) is one of the positions in the 4ATB (four at the back) formation. This position is usually occupied by players who not only can defend, but also attack and help the forwards from the left flank.

On H2H and Manager Mode, you will need both (defense and attack) from your LB player, but on VSA, most of the time you (or A.I.) will only use it for defense.
In every new season, EA will likely change the gameplay in Division Rivals. This season, left-backs are not only focused on defending in VSA, but they also contribute to attacks. It’s not rare for them to start the attack from the left flank. In some situations, you’ll need to pass the ball to your attackers, and in others, you’ll need to dribble and shoot toward the goal.
The most important attributes for defensive LBs in EA Sports FC Mobile 25 are Pace, Marking, Aggression, Tackles, and Interceptions. Then, there are dribbling, shooting, passing, and crossing stats for more attacking LBs.
In H2H or Manager Mode, the best LB (left back) for you actually depends on your playing style. If you prefer your LB to frequently join the attack and deliver crosses, while also having high pace, players like Theo Hernandez and Joao Cancelo might be more suitable for you.
However, if you prefer LBs who are more defensively oriented and don’t get caught out of position, players like Capdevila or Gvardiol could be a better fit.
Ultimately, it depends on your preferences and how you want your LB to contribute to your team.
