Besides the Goalkeeper, CB (Centre Back) is a vital position in EA Sports FC Mobile 26. Picking the wrong players can make your defense a mess and concede many goals.
Center-backs are the bedrock of your defensive strategy, tasked with the principal role of thwarting the opponent’s scoring attempts. A center-back lacking the requisite attributes can significantly weaken your defense.
Whether your formation includes two or three center-backs, it’s crucial they possess an optimal combination of speed, height, power, agility, and tactical acumen. A well-rounded center-back can not only deter but also intimidate opponents, making your defense considerably more formidable.
One of the most important stats for a CB is Marking. This stat determines whether your defender will always be closely marking the opposing player wherever he goes or just stunned when the opponent makes a skill move or tries to get past him.
Other important stats for CB are Interceptions, Aggression, Stand Tackle, Sliding Tackle, Heading, and Strength.

Please comment below if you have a good CB player’s recommendation besides the list above.
I prefer VVD just a bit to Maldini because of the height. Stamina hasnt been an issue with this VVD, maybe way late but no noticeable drop in performance.
What about captains Chiellini? Is it good?
Is 110 Maguire a good card?
If the 109 lb maldini was placed in this list performing as a cb which position would he be in
