These are predicted ratings, but they will be updated as soon as the official ones are released by EA. With that being said, here is our best young RB RWB FIFA 23 guide. Rating the top 10 best wonderkid right backs to sign in FIFA 23 career mode.
This year’s FIFA is looking better than ever with the new additions to career mode, but fans are still asking the age-old question; who are the best wonderkids for my club?
We also have a Best Young CM FIFA 23 guide, as well as a Best Young CDM FIFA 23 list to check out!
Today we’re taking a look at the top 10 right backs and right wing backs under the age of 21. Each and every one of these players has the potential to change the game in your career mode, be sure to be on the lookout for these hidden gems.

You may have heard of some of these right backs, but there are a few surprises here that even hardcore fans of football may miss out on! Keep an eye out for these youngsters bombing down the right wing in this year’s FIFA Career Mode:
