FIFA 24 Young Left-Backs! High-Potential Left-Back! Best Left-Backs FC24
FIFA 24, newly renamed FC 24, Career Mode fans care most about young and high-potential players. Picking them up while they're young and watching them develop is a lot of fun, and it's also profitable. You can sell them for far more than you paid, or as their rating rises, count them among your team's most important players.
In this article, we'll take a look at FIFA 24's young left-back candidates with the highest potential. Since FIFA 24 is still a long way from release, the current and potential ratings I give will be entirely based on my own predictions.
NOTE: Until readers get used to the new name (FC 24), we'll keep using FIFA 24.

Who Are FIFA 24's Best Young Left-Backs?
We start our list with one of the north's most promising young players, Victor Kristiansen.
8) Victor Kristiansen- (OVR 72 – POT 83)
Victor Kristiansen, who transferred from Copenhagen to Leicester City in January, will do everything he can to prove himself in the Premier League. If he can prove himself in England and get regular playing time, his development will be much faster, and that will show in his rating. We'll all see together what rating he ends up with based on how he performs next season...
7) Alvaro Fernandez - (OVR 69 – POT 84)
Alvaro Fernandez spent the season at Preston and will return to Manchester United at the end of it — will he be able to stick around at Man Utd? Who knows, but based on his performance, he's certain to find a chance at some club next season! Signing this left-back, who shows his ability whenever given playing time, away from Manchester won't be easy, but he's an investment worth trying...
6) Aaron Hickey - (OVR 76 - POT 83)
With Hickey starting to make a name for himself after getting minutes in the Premier League, I think his starting rating will rise, but since he's heading toward age 21, his potential rating could drop. He should always be among your left-back alternatives!
5) Luca Netz - (OVR 75 – POT 84)
Netz, who started getting minutes at M'gladbach this year, could see his rating rise if he gets even more playing time next season and makes the most of it. I think his potential, which has been steady for years, will shift up or down depending on his performance next season, and that the career path of this player turning 20 will become clearer. I also want to point out that for a position that's hard to fill, he's always among the good young alternatives at left-back.
4) Milos Kerkez - (OVR 74 – POT 86)
Milos Kerkez, whom Milan signed from the under-19s, seems to have made Milan very happy with his performances. Kerkez, who showed himself in his first season there, is expected to start with a rating above what he had in FIFA 23. You can transfer him from AZ Alkmaar right at the start of the game and begin developing him immediately.

3) Destiny Udogie - (OVR 77 – POT 89)
Udogie, who will be the first pick for those who love playing with wing-backs, will clearly have his rating shaped by how he performs at Tottenham next season. While it's hard to say for certain, I think he'll start the game with a much better rating than in FIFA 23, and that with his performance, we might even see potential that surpasses Nuno Mendes.
2) Nuno Mendes - (OVR 83 – POT 90)
Nuno Mendes, who's paying off Paris SG's investment, seems to have taken over from Alphonso Davies as the best young left-back, with his performance improving by the day. This is a player who'll be hard to sign in Career Mode, but if you manage to bring him to your team, he's a wonderkid who can contribute directly and be developed to the very top level.
1) Alejandro Balde - (OVR 74 – POT 90)
Alejandro Balde, who has gotten plenty of playing time this season, can easily be called, alongside Nuno Mendes, one of the best left-back prospects of the future. Balde will start the game with a much better card than in FIFA 23, and if he stays injury-free, with the advantage of being a year younger, he could see even higher potential than Nuno Mendes.
