Since last season
The same players' standings last season, among their league's full backs then.
How this ranking is made
Full backs aged 23 or under in Ligue 1 2026/27 with at least 315 league minutes, ranked on tackles and interceptions per 90, duels won, key passes per 90, accurate crosses per 90, dribbles per 90, pass completion and big chances created per 90. Each measure is a percentile against every full back in the league with the same minutes, so a young player is judged by the standard of the whole position, not only of his age group. 10 matchdays have been played, so the minutes bar is 315. It rises as the season goes on, until it reaches 450, about five full matches.
