Best Defenders in FC 24 Ultimate Team Mode

Virgil Van Dijk

Virgil Van Dijk simply has no equal when it comes to the best defenders in EA FC 24, as this man's unique body type completely dominates attacking players. The amount of times Van Dijk easily pushes an opponent off the ball is almost unbelievable – without even being user-controlled. The man just does what he wants.

Bruiser PlayStyle Plus is just a bonus to the ease with which you'll neutralize attacking threats, not to mention Jockey, Block, Anticipate, and Aerial PlayStyles to put the cherry on top. If his defensive dominance wasn't enough, this version of Van Dijk also has Striker as an alternate position. Nothing more needs to be said, you know what to do.

Ruben Dias

Ruben Dias has quickly established himself as one of the most reliable defenders in the world, and his virtual counterpart in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team is no different.

Dias possesses excellent defensive attributes, including tackling, marking, and heading. His ability to organize the defense and make crucial blocks can be a game-changer in tight matches.

Wendie Renard

Lyon's Wendie Renard has the highest-rated DEF stat in the entire game and this comes as no surprise. The Lyon and France captain is known for her incredible strength and is a brick wall for opposition strikers to get past. She is also capable of a power header, scoring 92 goals in 284 appearances for her club since 2006!

Mapi Leon

The DEF stats are dominated by the female athletes this year and Barcelona's Mapi Leon is second on the list. After winning Liga F and the Champions League with her club, Mapi Leon has been given a huge 89 rating, making her the highest-rated female CB in the game!

Eder Militao

This season Eder Militao boasts an impressive overall rating of 86 in EA Sports FC 24. His stats are relatively similar to last year even though he hasn’t got any playstyle this year. Militao currently plays for the legendary Real Madrid FC in LALIGA EA Sports FC.

Joao Cancelo

Joao Cancelo has an impressive rating of 86, he’s not pretty famous for his defending in real life but we can see some interesting defending stats in his EA Sports FC 24 item. This 29-year-old Portuguese player plays for FC Barcelona in the LALIGA EA Sports League. 

Laurent Blanc

Laurent Blanc is a wonderful defensive rock, whether you choose to use him in a back five or prefer to stick to a 4-3-3 formation. While he only boasts one more PlayStyle than Maldini, Blanc's combination of Anticipate Plus, Jockey, Bruiser, and Aerial are noticeably superior to Maldini's, despite Blanc's lower rating.

The reason Blanc can surpass even Maldini in terms of in-game performance comes down to the Anticipate PlayStyle Plus, perhaps the best option for any defender. PlayStyles are incredibly influential and are a key component in selecting the best defender in FC 24.

If you are looking for good defenders for your Ultimate Team, you can consider these mentioned players in the game. And you can Buy EA FC 24 Coins to get these players from the Transfer Market directly.
