Flashy attackers and creative midfielders make the game look pretty but having a solid defense is the key to winning trophies both in real life and in the game.
You need to set aside a part of your budget for signing the right defenders for your team.
With this list, we aim to give you the best targets for your defensive needs, so you can lock your team down for years to come.
1. Eduardo Camavinga
Real Madrid’s handyman player, he’s the fix to all their problems on the pitch.
Because of his age and his potential, this midfielder can be trained into one of the best Left-Backs in the game, and you get a midfield utility player with him as well!
2. Alejandro Balde
He’s filled in some pretty big shoes with Jordi Alba’s departure, making it as if one of the best LBs in the world never left FC Barcelona.
Rapid Pace, great PlayStyles and a high ceiling, he’s worth negotiating with, he can be a fullback or an advancing wingback, solid in defence and in attack.
3. Arnau Martínez
Spain is known for producing some of the best wonderkids in the world, and Girona seems to have found another gem.
A pure, balanced fullback on a low wage should be fairly easy to negotiate for. With the right development you can get the best for your right flank.
4. António Silva
With everyone’s eyes being on Goncalo Inacio, people forget about this diamond in the rough from SL Benfica.
Good Pace, the same Body Type as Eder Militao and incredible physicals to boot, this guy might just be the next best CB in the making.
5. Destiny Udogie
Tottenham are topping the Premier League table right now and this guy is one of the biggest reasons why.
He’s just signed for them so you’ll need to wait a season before you can try and sign him but if you negotiate that deal, truly the sky’s the limit for him.
Here are the rest of the players that make the Top 10!
| Player Name | Position | Rating | Potential |
| Castello Lukeba | CB | 77 | 85 |
| Malo Gusto | RB | 76 | 85 |
| Ousmane Diomande | CB | 76 | 85 |
