FIFA 23 Best Defenders: Full & Wing Backs & Center Backs
We sort the defenders by position, starting with full backs and continuing with center backs. You will find all positions for defenders right here.
FIFA 23: The Best Left Backs In FUT (LB, LWB)
Let's look at the best left-backs in-game. Most LB's in FIFA 23 can also play as LWB. We show you the cards you want to play right now.
1. Roberto Carlos – Cover Star Icon SBC
This guy is just out of this world. Incredible Stats. Shoutout to his Trophy Titan version, but this is just beyond words.
Complete. This. SBC.
He can play in various positions, and is considered a beast no matter where you place him after kick off.
2. Theo Hernández – TOTY
Theo Hernández is even much better this year – thanks to his TOTY. The good thing about him is that he has already accumulated quite a few cards in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. So if you can't afford this card, which is around one million coins, you can simply use his other versions like the WC TOTT. It's significantly cheaper and more than useful.
Another player worth mentioning on the LB position is Joan Capdevilla. His FUTTIES card is very special, and just in case you can't afford one of these guys, go with a different version of Capdevilla – he is cracked no matter which version you use.
FIFA 23: Best Right Backs In FUT (RB, RWB)
Switching to the right side, we now show you which players give you the best chance of taking on even the best Wingers. As with Left Backs, RBs can usually be modified to RWBs.
1. Dani Carvajal – FUTTIES
This guy is the very best right now when it comes to defenders on the right side.
2. Achraf Hakimi – TOTY
Achraf Hakimi's TOTY card convinces with unbelievable speed. But his other stats are almost cheeky for a Full Back. 4 star skills and weak foot also fit in with this. As a PSG player, Hakimi offers possibly one of the best links in FUT.The price of this card is unbearable for most, but with its WC Phenoms version or Inform card you are still good to go!
Another players worth mentioning are Jules Koundè and Denzel Dumfries, who got awesome FUTTIES as well...
If you can't afford them, check out Shapeshifters Jérôme Roussillon or Path to Glory Kyle Walker.
The Best Center Backs (CB) In FIFA 23 & FUT
Are you still looking for a head of defense who can solve any situation, no matter how tricky (even unfair if necessary)? Understood! Then let's take a look at the top three Center Backs in Ultimate Team for you.
1. Jules Koundè – FUTTIES
A SBC player claims the top spot in FIFA 23 right now. Just look at this pace stats and try not to cry.
2. Virgil van Dijk – TOTY
In FIFA 23 the mountain VVD is once again insurmountable. His TOTY card is the best defender card in the game. So also quite expensive. Virgil van Dijk also has a World Cup Stories card that doesn't even cost 900k coins anymore, but feels almost the same in game. You can get his gold card for less than 30k, and it also has this unique wide and stable body type.
3. Paolo Maldini – FUT Birthday Icon
Paolo Maldini has been one of the best central defenders in the game for years. With a new meta, players come and go. But as in his active time: Maldini stays. His FUT Birthday Icon is the icing on the cake. The decisive factors for this are his unique Defensive Awareness paired with his Interceptions. Maldini knows three minutes in advance where the opponent will play the ball. Anticipation at its best.
