Best defenders
Goals win you matches, but you’ll need a tight defense if you want to climb the ranks in EA FC 26. So, here are the best defenders you should sign, including left-backs, right-backs, and center-backs.

Achraf Hakimi  | 26 | RB | 89 | PSG |
The beauty of EA FC 26’s tactics system is that many players can fit anywhere across the backline, which is why you’ll see the likes of Jules Koundé popping up at both right and center-back. Particularly in Ultimate Team, where pace is much more important, playing a full-back in the middle is actually beneficial, as it gives them a greater chance of marking rapid strikers.
