The Best CB in the Game

Last updated September 12, 2025 244 Comments

Besides the Goalkeeper, CB (Centre Back) is a vital position in EA Sports FC Mobile 25. 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.

Cheap Beast CBs

Looking for an affordable center-back with good gameplay? Check out the cheap beast center-back recommendations below.

These center-backs have lower OVRs, but their gameplay becomes quite impressive when ranked up and trained.

NameOVRProgram
Vidić105TOTY
Blanc105Ballon d’Or
Stam105Hero Chronicles
Cannavaro105Ballon d’Or
Nesta105Thunderstruck
Ferdinand105Winter Wonders
Kompany105Winter Wonders
Desailly105TOTY
Lucio104Ballon d’Or
Kohler105Trophy Titans

Please note that all of these CBs need to be Ranked and trained to display their best gameplay. The higher their Rank and Training Levels, the better their gameplay becomes.

You must also activate their Skills using Skill Points to maximize their stats. Center Backs have six types of skills to choose from: Defending, Passing, Physical, No-Nonsense Centre-Back (Unlocks after Defending reaches Lvl. 3), Ball-Playing Defender (Unlocks after Passing reaches Lvl. 3), and Libero (Unlocks after Physical reaches Lvl. 3). Please read the guide on Skills and Skill Points here.

EA can do buffs or nerfs on goalkeepers in FC Mobile, and EA also always releases new cards along with new events, so the list above can change at any time. We’ll make an effort to regularly update this list of the best center-backs in FC Mobile 25.

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.
