EA FC 25 defenders: Best CB, RB and LB in Career Mode and Ultimate Team

As a seasoned movie buff who’s seen more sports movies than I care to count, I must say that the lineup for EA FC 25 is shaping up to be a blockbuster of its own. The roster reads like a who’s who of football greats, with stars from Barcelona, Manchester City, PSG, and many more gracing the field.


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.

Understanding which games rank at the top in EA Sports FC 25 could potentially determine the outcome of a match.

To determine a player’s final score, Electronic Arts considers factors such as speed, scoring ability, ball control, passing skills, agility, defensive prowess, and overall strength.

Among the three, the last two are likely the most crucial for playing defense, even though passing and dribbling have gained significant attention in modern play.

Prepare to witness a diverse array of global talent, as notable clubs such as Barcelona, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Lyon, among others with significant football presence, will be showcasing their key players.

All of these are set to appear across both Career Mode and Ultimate Team
