Ligue 1 has a recent history of exporting good full backs recently, such as Evra, Maicon, Sagna, Abidal and Lichtsteiner.
Any current left or right backs worth checking out, Fred?
Exactly, the other leagues fuckin dried the Ligue up
No but seriously. There are still plenty of good fullbacks in the Ligue. I personally like Mahamdou Dabo of St Etienne. He's a hardworking rightback, with bags of stamina and electric pace. Very good defender, and he helps out in attack as well. His only drawback is, that he can't cross to save his life. Unfortunately he's being played out of position this season. St Etienne are playing him on the left, he's rather solid there, but still isn't as comfortable as he is on the right.
Taiwo today played a good game for L'OM, he's a strong fullback thats very good going forward. His defending can be suspect at times, and his positioning erratic, he makes up for it in the Ligue with his recovery pace, but he'd be punished more in a stronger league. Still he's a decent prospect and is good enough to be playing in one of the big leagues.
Rod Fanni is another fullback who's got a good chance of being successful outside the Ligue. Another pacy fullback, who's hard to beat and is a threat going forward.
Ceara (PSG), Bonnart (L'OM), Chalme (Lille) and Clerc (Lyon) are other decent fullbacks who are worth a look.
None of those are close to Sagna, Evra, Abidal and co though. Nonetheless i consider Fanni and Dabo to be the best fullback prospects in the league.
