FIFA 12 | So You Want A… Right Back


Continuing the defensive positions, here are is the article on right backs.

Listed below are some of the most promising young right backs in the game. In an attempt to make this relevant to as many players as possible, I have not included any RBs whose OVR is above 73 – this way you can keep your costs down and have some cash left over for other purchases (be they real players or new scouts). Furthermore, I have listed the players by cost, with the cheapest at the top of each sub-group (players are grouped by potential).

Once again I have three recommendations:

  • Šime Vrsaljko
  • Luis Pedro Cavanda
  • Nenad Tomovi?

My main recommendation from this list is Šime Vrsaljko. Under normal circumstances you cannot buy him, as he plays for Dinamo Zagreb, who are not in the game. However, he is in the Croation national team. In order to get him, you need to edit the Croation national team and replace him with a player who is not in the squad. This will put him in the free agents, and when you start a new season that’s where he’ll be. That way you can sign him for free! Without doing this you won’t be able to get him.

Luis Pedro Cavanda and Nenad Tomovi? are good alternatives to Vrsaljko if you feel that getting him from the free agents is too much like cheating. Which one you decide to go for depends largely on your budget. However, Tomovi? is a more defensive-minded RB (stronger than Cavanda, better marking), whilst Cavanda is much more of an attacking RB (quicker than Tomovi?, better crossing), so when deciding which one you want you should also consider what role you want them to play.

Please bear in mind that these figures may not be exactly the same on your game. These stats are taken from my own personal experiences, but are likely to be very similar to those on your own game. The best thing to do is to make sure you keep checking these players, as their prices may drop radically after a while.

Finally, if you’ve had any experiences of good players’ prices changing wildly (especially if their price drops), please post it in the comments.

So, without further ado, here are the players:
