João Cancelo (Barcelona)

Portuguese international has a handful of Play Styles – Whipped Pass, Block, Technical, Flair, First Touch, and Trivela. As for attributes, his Stamina is 88, Crossing 87, Curve is 87, Acceleration is 86, and Ball Control is 86.

He does have good Anticipation, though, which could prove to be useful for defensive duties. Balde’s Play Styles are Jockey, Anticipate, and Quick-Step.

Marcos Acuña (Sevilla)

If you are looking for an affordable fullback who can play equally in defense and in offense, then maybe Marcos Acuña is the right choice.

Agility (88) and Crossing (84) are also Alba’s strong suites. Passing abilities are almost flawless, with Shot Passing at 85 and Long Passing at 81.

Suitable Formations for Playing With Wing Backs

As we mentioned earlier in the article, fullbacks or wingbacks can be used in formations with four but also with five defenders. They can prove useful in, for example, formations of 4-4-2, 4-5-1, 4-2-3-1, etc.

We would like to single out the formation 5-3-2, in which wingbacks are particularly useful. As a slightly more defensive formation, teams that play in this form rely on counterattacks in order to reach the opponent’s goal. The wingbacks are crucial here as they can help out both in the defense and attack. Also, with a defensive midfielder in the team, there is additional help for the defenders. Note that if you used more classic formations earlier, it will take some time to get used to the 5-3-2, but when you do, it will most likely give you good results.
