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.
In FIFA Mobile 20, 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.
Marking vs Dribbling
If the Marking stats of your defensive player is higher than your opponent’s Dribbling stats, then the opponent will find it hard to get past your player. On the contrary, if your player Marking stats is lower, then your opponent will be easier to pass and stun him. That is why it’s very important for any defensive players to have high Marking stats.
Other important stats for CB are Interceptions, Aggression, Stand Tackle, Sliding Tackle, Heading, and Strength.
While the best Skill Boosts for CB are Marking, Holding, and Aggression.

Then my all cb is going to have holding boost…
UCL Lovren decent to use?

What about Romagnoli in World tour? And MANOLAS UEFA??
Hes too slow and easy to get past by, otherwise hes good at heading from set pieces.
So, what about Ramos from POTM and Cannavaro? Or it’s better to develop LLR Martinez?
What about Ramos 95 POTM
Can someone suggest a CB from Bundesliga or Germany ? What about 97 Ovr Sule (Carniball) or 92 Ovr Tah (Champions League) or 90 Ovr Leinhart (Heartbreakers I think) ? I currently have Brooks 86 Marquee stars.
What’s about de vrij 93 carniball?
What about Koulibaly from TOTY ?
I have Tah and Akanji trained up to 93 OVR – both are good and hard to get past.
Which skill boost is good?? Strength or marking or aggression??
Ake is bit short .does this affect ??

What about totw Varane
When upgraded his stats are quite good
He is decent.
Any bundesliga defender?
Awesome guide.
Congratulations for the site and the instructions about the game.
Is a excellent job man.
Ps: Sorry for my bad english…
I didn’t like Ake, was too short on crosses into the box, basic STs were beating him.
Along with that buddy try & use the OPARA card…feels like one of the best cards if not the best..super fast as well..6’2″ , gr8 jumping etc
What about totw (79)Mina..he has strength boost..but he defends like hell
How are hinteregger and diakhaby TOTW cards trained up to 90ovr
Never tried them, but their Skill Boost is bad.
What about Sergio Ramos story
Pretty good but imo not as good as the majority of the players above.
So guys what about De Vrig(93) Carniball does he have any position on this table
