Best Choice: Trent Alexander-Arnold. The young English right-back is one of the best passers in the FC 25 Coins game, and although his physical rating of 71 may not make him the most durable defender, the modern game values right-backs who can come forward and help out in the team's offensive efforts much more.

Budget Alternative: Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Manchester United's wide defender might not be as good going forward as Trent Alexander-Arnold, but he more than makes up for it with his tackles. With an 83 overall rating and 82 defending stat, he will prove to be more than worth his 8.000 coin price tag, especially for players who prefer a more defensive approach.

Best Choices: Virgil van Dijk and Aymeric Laporte. Even though in real life Aymeric Laporte has fallen out of favor with Pep Guardiola due to injuries and John Stones' amazing form, he is still going strong in FIFA 25. with an 88 defensive stat and 81 physical. Virgil van Dijk, on the other hand, is one of the best defenders in the world, and the best in the game, with mind-boggling 91 defending and 86 physical stats.

Budget Alternatives: Joe Gomez and Harry Maguire. It is no secret that defenders in FIFA should have great physicality and respectable pace, to catch up with the best strikers. While Maguire is a slow player, his 85 physical stat makes him difficult to get past, while Joe Gomez with his 82 pace should more than make up for Harry's shortcomings in that department.

Best Choice: Alex Telles. Many buy EA FC 25 Coins Ultimate Team fans will be outraged that Andy Robertson is not the best left-back choice, but the truth is that despite a lower overall rating than his Scottish counterpart, Alex Telles exceeds Robertson in some of the most important aspects of a modern full-back, including pace, dribbling, and passing. Telles also retains comparable defending and physicality levels.
