Read combines the highest ceiling with a fair price. Banjaqui starts at 65, so he will sit on the bench in season one, but 87 potential for €2.2M is rare. If you need someone ready now, Michael Kayode (81 OVR, Brentford) and Álex Jiménez (79 OVR) are the most finished players here. Jiménez is listed as on loan at Fiorentina.

Fastest young right-backs

Sorted by the sum of sprint speed and acceleration.

Player	Sprint Speed	Acceleration	POT
Marco Palestra	90	90	86
Álex Jiménez	84	87	84
Héctor Fort	85	82	83
Elijah Dijkstra	85	81	84
Daniel Banjaqui	82	83	87
Martim Fernandes	82	82	86

Marco Palestra is far ahead with 90 in both. If you can afford Chelsea's €30M full-back, he is ideal for overlapping runs.

Michael Kayode	81	75	85

Givairo Read	76	74	88

Martim Fernandes	75	75	86
Marco Palestra	74	72	86

Other 85+ potential players who can play right-back

Their main position is different, but the game lists right-back as an alternative.

Joaquin Seys	21	Club Brugge	LB, RB	75	88	€13M

Josh Acheampong	20	Chelsea	CB, RB	75	86	€11.5M
Bruno Ogbus	20	SC Freiburg	CB, RB	72	85	€5.5M

Warren Zaïre-Emery and Lewis Miley are central midfielders by trade. At right-back they can help you build play from wide areas. Joaquin Seys can play on either flank, which helps with squad depth.
