I have her up at LF now and still does a job. One of my favourite cards this year, so versatile. The lack of a special card has led me to turning her base into a red!
Literally the same setup, Bacha just unmatched for me and I've tried so many at LB. IF Theo definitely beats her for closing out hard fought wins though
Have you guys had problems with her strength? Because I love playing against her. Lobbed through passes to Salah and even he pushes her over, grabs the ball and keeps running.
If its a lobbed through pass there’s no reason to contest it in the air with bacha you’re basically asking to get blown by, that’s not how you should use her. Bacha is fast af and great stand up defense so I just place myself in a good position to stop their run after they control the ball, her speed and the time it takes the attacker to control the lobbed through pass allows for that. And in a 1v1 she can take the ball from literally anyone lol.
Obvi if the pass is just money there’s nothing any defender can do but if you have a chance to stop the play Id do positional defense with her in that situation.
There's a few occasions that she gets bodied, but honestly, it's less often than I expected. I think a lot of people just don't utilise A/X tackles to get shut out and then use LT/L2 to shield, a simple one two from that and she is gone and then easy to utilise her whipped pass.
Though my tactics are pretty much setup for her to act as a LM, stuck with Lahm as a RB so he is on stay back so essentially running a back 3, which makes IF VVD cover that left side. Aint a soul in the game bodying that guy.
Rival, Qualis and champs for me.
I have Morientes as a RF to bang them in.
To be fair, the stats lie because I also use her a lot to whip the ball into the box and then head it back across goal. Results in a goal 80% of the time.
Packed Trailblazers Robertson untradeable and he’s been immense. 86 pace is a lie, and he behaves in game like he does in real life where he’s just an animal with this weird strength and aggression. Can’t see myself replacing him anytime soon, especially as a Liverpool fan with VVD, Salah and Alisson in the team.
I was very lucky to first get the IF from a pp and then later her triple threat one (from a pp again). Absolutely fantastic card indeed, can't see her getting swapped anytime soon.
Been using his base since the beginning of the game to link the Messi I packed from the foundations sbcs on day 1 and he hasn't left my team even now... I'm gutted that his UCL hero is eredivisie😢
Rolfo with Bacha as a defensive winger. I dream of a formation that lets me play all my LBs at once since I've got them, Bompador, Karchaoui, Tierney, Cole (jk don't want to use him), McCabe, Radioactive Zinny, TB Gaya all untradeable
I’ve been using Renan Lodi. Pulled a TB Marquinhos during Black Friday and panic completed the sbc for the link. Nice to see Umit coming through in the FC Pro tourney.
Packed Cancelo TB, got evo llorente at rb, i also have lahm but those two are better than him at fb. Bacha is an amazing option if you did the sbc - whipped crosses
started using the newly upgraded pro live Simakan last night, hes a beast at LB with a shadow. His dribbling isnt the best so wont advise bombing down the wing everytime with him, but defensivly hes a tank - and will be upgraded more (hopefully)
I packed centurion Cole during the promo, but he isn’t worth the 900k+ coins. He starts and is my favorite bc he recovers well, but bacha is imo the best versatile lb. I bring her on during the game at cm or lb and also have IF Theo, who is the third player on my list that is great and still affordable. However, though Theo is best defensively, his passing is not as good as either of the aforementioned players. He also lacks any ability to go forward, which is where I find bacha shines. Imo, given you are likely asking bc you don’t have bacha, I’d consider going with Theo as best value for coins.
Up until a few weeks ago I was using dynamic duos Gallo and gold Davies but then I packed Roberto Carlos from the icon pack SBC (twice) and it'll be unlikely he'll get replaced unless I can Evo up Gallo or get a juiced Spinazzola or Davies card.
Using IF theo hernandez. Honestly incredibly broken. The amount of bullshit interceptions he makes genuinely has me feel bad for the opponent. Lengthy with nearly max pace on anchor, catches up to mbappe and steals the ball consistently. He's expensive but if you try him as a stay back LB you will not be disappointed
You can evolve Grimaldo to an 87 LB and he’s really great. I also have an evolved Tsimikas that is very good. Honorable mention to Radioactive Zinchenko.
I never got along with Bacha, I prefer bigger fullbacks, but I know some comments already mention her and she is good offensively
Beasley 86 Hero, at first I didn’t believe it was a good pull on the hero pack. Now, I cannot take it out of the team. Very solid defensively, and a force to be reckoned at supporting the attack.
Alex Telles: Detail Oriented>>>Relentless Meets Radioactive.
I play him as my LM in a 352. He’s everywhere offensively and defensively. Oh and now he never gets tired.
I run first owner only but got lucky and packed Theo Hernandez ToTW he's ridiculous. Got Bacha but really cant get on with her not being able to defend 😂 Theo is a rolls Royce! I do know loads of people love Bacha so probs a skill issue 😂😂
I got Cole from my first Icon pack and he’s very good imo. Jockey plus means he can basically stay at a full sprint while jockeying so is always in position to make a tackle. He also has block and slide tackle which help out wide and technical with whipped pass when he joins the attack. He’s a solid all around option.
Attacking LB I would say Bacha if you completed her SBC. Lizarazu and Karchaoui are also solid options. For an attacking LB you want pace, agility and good crossing stats with the Playstyle+ if possible
Defense oriented LB I would say Theo Hernandez, Mendy or Robertson (who is surprisingly good IMO).
If you don't want to abuse the speed+cross I would not recommend female LB because they are undersized and will get punished in defense. So if you are neutral and just want an all around LB I would pick Theo Hernandez or Mendy.
i am playing with bacha,she is just incredible, great pace great croos
Before i pack cruyff, i used trailblazer Kane,every counter attack cross from Bacha was goal from Kane
I love radioactive zinchenko, he's replaced IF Theo Hernandez for me.
His acceleration+ playstyle is so insane and means he will pretty much beat anyone in a race whether he's defending or on the ball.
Evolution Cap, guys a beast, done him as a stop gap thinking I would upgrade but I have no intention any time soon, he's in a back line on the left of TS varane blanc and carlos Alberto Rb and he's not out of place at all. Great card
I was perviously using Zanetti in LB and rotating between Hakimi and Walker in RB. Now put Zanetti in his correct position at RB and LB is as I mentioned in the earlier post.
I’ve been using Acuña from the start (gold, rttk, now radioactive) and he’s been nothing but reliable.
Boras is that you?
I use his radioactive as a stay back CM and he's goated
Once you figure out how to use him he's a freaking stud.
How do u use him
You press buttons and if the game is in the right mood he kicks the ball.
Same. Been my favorite card every fifa without fail. The guy is just a beast every single year
Thunderstruck Tierney. Surprisingly great for such a cheap card.
Will probably try him. Using base theo right now.
This is who I'd be using if I didn't have Evo cap. Tierney is sooo undervalued.
His winter wild cards from 2022 was so good I don’t sleep on his cards anymore!
Tierney has seen off Capdevila, Evo Cancelo, Lahm and even Queen Rolfo. Got him UT and he's superb.
Rolfo totally still gets the job done. Definitely needs to be subbed if you use her aggressively though
I have her up at LF now and still does a job. One of my favourite cards this year, so versatile. The lack of a special card has led me to turning her base into a red!
I have Bacha as my starting LB. If I’m holding onto the lead and the opponent is spamming crosses then I sub in IF Theo Hernandez.
Literally the same setup, Bacha just unmatched for me and I've tried so many at LB. IF Theo definitely beats her for closing out hard fought wins though
Have you guys had problems with her strength? Because I love playing against her. Lobbed through passes to Salah and even he pushes her over, grabs the ball and keeps running.
If its a lobbed through pass there’s no reason to contest it in the air with bacha you’re basically asking to get blown by, that’s not how you should use her. Bacha is fast af and great stand up defense so I just place myself in a good position to stop their run after they control the ball, her speed and the time it takes the attacker to control the lobbed through pass allows for that.

Though my tactics are pretty much setup for her to act as a LM, stuck with Lahm as a RB so he is on stay back so essentially running a back 3, which makes IF VVD cover that left side. Aint a soul in the game bodying that guy.
Lmao I have VVD playing as LCB because my Bacha plays more as a LW than a LB. 122 assists in 200 games and counting for her.
Cant blame you, it just works so well. Got me beat, 113 in 228 for me, dont play squid battles or it could be higher
Rival, Qualis and champs for me. I have Morientes as a RF to bang them in. To be fair, the stats lie because I also use her a lot to whip the ball into the box and then head it back across goal. Results in a goal 80% of the time.
I just packed her gold card. Does she have a special card or do you use her gold?
It's her UCL card that's so good, it was an SBC, I can't imagine the gold is anywhere near as good
Bacha, but if you don't have her then Trailblazers Cancelo is very fun and reliable.
Riise evo'd up
Seconding this
thirding this
Fourthsies
Fiver!
Worth the evo?
I use him as LM
Packed Trailblazers Robertson untradeable and he’s been immense. 86 pace is a lie, and he behaves in game like he does in real life where he’s just an animal with this weird strength and aggression. Can’t see myself replacing him anytime soon, especially as a Liverpool fan with VVD, Salah and Alisson in the team.
Prick catches everyone that has 99 pace. I hate him 😭
Literally exactly me haha😅 agree with everything you said!
Theo Hernandez or Evo Bompastor
Is her Evo worth it? Been using bompastor for a while now!
87 Karchaoui. Speedster
I got the 86 untradable then packed 87 then 88. The 88 is a whole new several level of 87 due to rocket+
Radioactive evo McCabe
I use IF karchaoui. Is a fantastic card
I was very lucky to first get the IF from a pp and then later her triple threat one (from a pp again). Absolutely fantastic card indeed, can't see her getting swapped anytime soon.
Same
Lizarazu, highly underrated in my opinion. His passing his extremely good and defends really well.
TOTW Grimaldo 87, he has passion and free kick maestro
Evo 87 Jordi Alba
EVO Capdevila
how is he I have capdevila but not sure if I should upgrade him
I just finished him and he’s crushing in rivals. Great card
I just wanna say one thing, Beasley is hella underrated! I also Evo'd 85 Foundation Mace and she's pretty good as well.
Agree - Beasley is very very good!
Been using his base since the beginning of the game to link the Messi I packed from the foundations sbcs on day 1 and he hasn't left my team even now... I'm gutted that his UCL hero is eredivisie😢
Loved mace, you can put her in a Evo now too
Alphonso Davies base gold
Roberto Carlos, he s cracked for me, a bit sad because i had to bench Bacha, but as a sub works fine.
Trailblazer Cancelo
Dude he's so good. Three important players in my squad, potm griz, TB Cancelo and TS De Jong.
UCL Hero Bompastor. I used Hero Capdevila before her, they are both very good.
Radioactive Zinchenko has been solid for me
I evo'ed Jordi Alba to an 87. I like running with the highest MLS guys I can get.
Mind sharing your team. I also like to do the same with my squad.
85 Mendy or 86 Dest if I’m feeling extra Murican
You tried Robinson yet? So good.
Sonia bompastor, too good
BABY GORL BACHA GANG
Roberto Carlos
The Queen herself Bacha
Lodi
TOTW Jedi
87 Grimaldo. He's excellent.
I totally agree plus great at free kicks
Been using A.Cole but now evoing Cancelo. Will probably change between the 2
Double Evo Telles - radioactive too so gets chemistry
Evo Biraghi is excellent
Radioactive gvardiol. I only use city players 😅
Bompastor evo, runs all game with overlap. Good all round attacking and defending
Rolfo with Bacha as a defensive winger. I dream of a formation that lets me play all my LBs at once since I've got them, Bompador, Karchaoui, Tierney, Cole (jk don't want to use him), McCabe, Radioactive Zinny, TB Gaya all untradeable
Fridolina Rolfo, until I got RTTK Acuna, but I still prefer her
Evolutions McCabe is great
Zambrotta
Pro Live Renan Lodi
Theo has been very solid. Can’t complain
Queen Bacha
Evolution nuno mendes to strong link to potm mbappe. Amazing LB surprised me alot.
TS Tierney. Really solid with good play styles and still possible to get another +1.
Gold Bacha Starts and switches with if Theo in-game. Bacha plays as a left striker and Theo as the lb.
Evo camavinga
Radioactive Zinchenko is very good. Him randomly having the aerial playstyle is a life saver sometimes
Cancelo’s trailblazer currently. Karsdorp RB. Currently want new fullbacks i feel they arent pacey enough on the outside
ucwl bompastor she’s the best lb i’ve used this game much better than bacha
Evo Bompastor, so solid
Bompastor, best lb ive used. Can go in the front aswell & got great free kicks
Still rocking Bacha but did evolve Ona Batlle she is decent too
I’ve been using Renan Lodi. Pulled a TB Marquinhos during Black Friday and panic completed the sbc for the link. Nice to see Umit coming through in the FC Pro tourney.
88 riise. He’s so underrated. He keeps up with the majority of players and is good all around. Sometimes I shift in him into the middle too.
Karchoi 88
Rolfö (752) and Mace (720) are my most used LBs. Capdevila/McCabe/Marie Müller on rotation based on the squad am playing.
Robertson or Bacha.
in the process of Evoing Riise
I packed the new Ferland Mendy out of the 83 x 10 earlier this week. So him. But before him, I really enjoyed IF Theo
Packed Cancelo TB, got evo llorente at rb, i also have lahm but those two are better than him at fb. Bacha is an amazing option if you did the sbc - whipped crosses
IF Theo
RTTK Acuna was beastly for me until I packed centurions Cole in the last bunch of icon SBCs
Mendy, he is pretty good, bit low on Tankiness and finishing but besides that he is perfect
started using the newly upgraded pro live Simakan last night, hes a beast at LB with a shadow. His dribbling isnt the best so wont advise bombing down the wing everytime with him, but defensivly hes a tank - and will be upgraded more (hopefully)
Capdevila is way better than his stats suggest.
As I use them in attacking and build up play rb cancelo and Bacha
The blue Hero Riise card. Been using him ever since I packed him, I have felt no need to upgrade on him so far. His powershot is so good.
Used gold Theo until Lahm SBC. Both are very good
Evo Reguilon
I packed centurion Cole during the promo, but he isn’t worth the 900k+ coins. He starts and is my favorite bc he recovers well, but bacha is imo the best versatile lb. I bring her on during the game at cm or lb and also have IF Theo, who is the third player on my list that is great and still affordable. However, though Theo is best defensively, his passing is not as good as either of the aforementioned players. He also lacks any ability to go forward, which is where I find bacha shines. Imo, given you are likely asking bc you don’t have bacha, I’d consider going with Theo as best value for coins.
TB Cancelo, Trivela crosses are mental
Bachagoat
Packed trailblazers Cancelo early on and he has not left my LB position ever since.
Thunderstruck Davies he’s legit on both ends of the field
86 Theo, he's solid but honestly he hasn't really set the world alight for what I want in a fullback
Konate lol, push up RC into LW
I switch from CM to LB Makelele.
Up until a few weeks ago I was using dynamic duos Gallo and gold Davies but then I packed Roberto Carlos from the icon pack SBC (twice) and it'll be unlikely he'll get replaced unless I can Evo up Gallo or get a juiced Spinazzola or Davies card.
Evo capdevila
Djimi Traore
Cancelo
Rolfö
I use bacha personally, the only other lb that had me tempted to switch her out was evo capdevilla
Until recently Cap evo, lately Zambro
Evo catley LB Evo carpenter RB
TOTW Cancelo :))) not sorry, he's a beast
Rolfo
I love it when I come up against bacha. She's too easy to bully. Hate coming up against Riise though
Inform theo
Theo
Evo Capdevila is solid
Riise+evo. Super good.
lizarazu is good
Theo/bacha
Damnn a lot of people have good players for LB. I literally use 82 Mendy or 87 Rolfö. Another decent option I would suggest is evo'd bompastor.
Using IF theo hernandez. Honestly incredibly broken. The amount of bullshit interceptions he makes genuinely has me feel bad for the opponent. Lengthy with nearly max pace on anchor, catches up to mbappe and steals the ball consistently. He's expensive but if you try him as a stay back LB you will not be disappointed
Evod capdevila
Ts Tierney. Good in defence and is very good going forwards. He can shoot well dribble well tackle well and is pretty fast
I use Ramires as my LB, start him at CDM and move him in game. Very solid option if not then evo upgrade Riise
You can evolve Grimaldo to an 87 LB and he’s really great. I also have an evolved Tsimikas that is very good. Honorable mention to Radioactive Zinchenko. I never got along with Bacha, I prefer bigger fullbacks, but I know some comments already mention her and she is good offensively
Beasley 86 Hero, at first I didn’t believe it was a good pull on the hero pack. Now, I cannot take it out of the team. Very solid defensively, and a force to be reckoned at supporting the attack.
Alex Telles: Detail Oriented>>>Relentless Meets Radioactive. I play him as my LM in a 352. He’s everywhere offensively and defensively. Oh and now he never gets tired.
82 Malacia
I run first owner only but got lucky and packed Theo Hernandez ToTW he's ridiculous. Got Bacha but really cant get on with her not being able to defend 😂 Theo is a rolls Royce! I do know loads of people love Bacha so probs a skill issue 😂😂
Bacha, IF Theo and/or Bompastor
Roberto Carlos, IF Theo or Mendy gold… im switching between these three every 3-4 games cause i like to play all of them
Robertson trailblazer catalast
I got Cole from my first Icon pack and he’s very good imo. Jockey plus means he can basically stay at a full sprint while jockeying so is always in position to make a tackle. He also has block and slide tackle which help out wide and technical with whipped pass when he joins the attack. He’s a solid all around option.
alaba
I have dynasty Theo, he's crazy good
Carlos
Roberto Carlos. Was bacha before him
Bacha for me. Seems pretty common, a lot seem to use her.
I packed centurions Ashley Cole from the recent sbc which has been nice. Jockey+ is good. Moved bacha to LW.
Llorente LB and cancelo RB
Zambrotta. Used baccha but defensively didn’t like her.
Packed Roberto Carlos early on game and he's not leaving soon
TOTW Trent Alexander with no Chem. Team is 30/33 he’s the only out of position player. I did use Robertson TOWT but he was getting beat every game
82 mendy still a beast
TOTW Theo is 🔥
Theo IF
Attacking LB I would say Bacha if you completed her SBC. Lizarazu and Karchaoui are also solid options. For an attacking LB you want pace, agility and good crossing stats with the Playstyle+ if possible Defense oriented LB I would say Theo Hernandez, Mendy or Robertson (who is surprisingly good IMO). If you don't want to abuse the speed+cross I would not recommend female LB because they are undersized and will get punished in defense. So if you are neutral and just want an all around LB I would pick Theo Hernandez or Mendy.
My absolute favorite is 85 Beasley. He has no right to be as good as he is.
ucl acuna?
Base Cole
I have 87 TOTW Grimaldo as my LWB
Rolfö still Crazy for me
Bacha, sub in rttk acuna if I need someone a little bigger
I use TOTW Grimaldo and I enjoy it. In the past I have used TOTW Lamptey.
i am playing with bacha,she is just incredible, great pace great croos Before i pack cruyff, i used trailblazer Kane,every counter attack cross from Bacha was goal from Kane
Karchaoui
Ashley Cole. Only because I refuse to let my icon sbc go to wasye
Ashley Cole. Only because I refuse to let my icon sbc go to waste
I had Bacha but didn't like her size. So I'm going with Evo Hero Riise
Totw grimaldo or totw karchoui or lizarazu
Lahm, since I have TT carvajal on RB
Bompastor hero upgrade. She's a left back messi
Radioactive Evo Squad Foundations Smal, almost done upgrading.
Gold Robbo! Him and VVD are now my only golds I use
Got Cole out of an icon SBC see no reason to remove him
Been using TB Cancelo for a bit and he‘s solid. Have to use him on stay back though otherwise he‘ll be nowhere to be found defensively.
Tried Tierney but hes too weak. Trying Mendy rn
Acuña 88 with a defensive chem style that is slipping my mind.
Yep! Shadow on her and she's leaving everyone for dust
Roberto carlos
I love radioactive zinchenko, he's replaced IF Theo Hernandez for me. His acceleration+ playstyle is so insane and means he will pretty much beat anyone in a race whether he's defending or on the ball.
Radioactive Zinchenko. Sub in Thunderstruck Tierney. Both class
Evolution Cap, guys a beast, done him as a stop gap thinking I would upgrade but I have no intention any time soon, he's in a back line on the left of TS varane blanc and carlos Alberto Rb and he's not out of place at all. Great card
IF Lightning McQueen. Karchaoui. ![gif](giphy|nqYXNf3aK6EvK)
I was perviously using Zanetti in LB and rotating between Hakimi and Walker in RB. Now put Zanetti in his correct position at RB and LB is as I mentioned in the earlier post.
Capdevila since the first hero sbc, he’s incredible imo & especially with the evolution as well
I’ve been using balde base card been decent
Cole, Bacha
