Besides the Goalkeeper, CB (Centre Back) is a very important position in FIFA Mobile, especially on VSA. Picking the wrong players can make your defense a mess and concede many goals.
If on H2H or Matches we can still control the CB players manually, on VSA you are 100% dependent on AI. Therefore it is very important to choose the right CBs for your team.

One of the most important stats for a CB is Marking. This stats 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.
While the best Skill Boosts for CB are Marking, Captain, and Tackling.
