EA FC 25 defenders: Best CB, RB and LB in Career Mode and Ultimate Team
The art of defending. This is a position that has become ever more crucial to football, with defenders now contributing to goal-scoring opportunities frequently.
That's why knowing which ones have topped the lot on EA Sports FC 25 can help make or break a game.
In deciding what overall rating a player earns, EA takes into account their pace, shooting, passing, dribbling, defending and physicality.
The latter two of which are arguably the most important when it comes to being at the back, though passing and dribbling have come more into play in recent years.
Expect to see faces from all over the world, with the likes of Barcelona, Manchester City, PSG, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Lyon and plenty of other big-name football teams having prominent players featured.
All of these are set to appear across both Career Mode and Ultimate Team.
So, ahead of the game's big release later this month, we've rounded up the best players for every defensive position announced so far in EA FC 25 – including centre-back, right-back and left-back.
The best centre-back in EA FC 25 is Mapi León of Barcelona. This is the second year in a row that the Spanish defender has topped the rankings, despite suffering a meniscus tear that kept her from playing throughout the majority of the season.
