FIFA 21: The best CB talents – Young center-backs in career mode

We present to you the best center-back talents in the career mode of FIFA 21. These young center-backs have great potential and are worthwhile for your defense.

That’s why center-back talents are worthwhile in FIFA 21: To keep your goal clean in the career, you need a solid defense that stands strong at the back and keeps the ball away from the goal.

And unless you have chosen an absolute top club, top defenders like Van Dijk, Ramos, or David Alaba are quite unrealistic, especially due to the high prices that these clubs demand.

That’s why we show you here center-back talents that have great potential and will become better with time. Your next defense chief could also be an absolute bargain.

But keep in mind that players in FIFA 21 have dynamic potential. The potential values are not fixed. Whether a talent can fully exploit or even exceed its potential also depends on how well you train the player and how they perform on the pitch.

You can find even more players with potential in the overview of the best talents in FIFA 21.
