The Best CB in the Game

Last updated July 12, 2023

Besides the Goalkeeper, CB (Centre Back) is a very important position in FIFA Mobile. 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. While the best Skill Boosts for CB are Holding and Marking.

Here are the best CBs in FIFA Mobile 23:

Please note that some may need to train to certain OVRs in order to show their best gameplay.

EA can do buffs or nerfs on CBs in FIFA Mobile, and EA also always releases new cards along with the new events, so the list above can change at any time. We will try to always update the list of the best CBs in FIFA Mobile 23.

    Hi, I would like to ask about the HOL players (Lucio and Campbell etc) since some of them can get in f2p and it’s good too.

      Sol Campbell Star Pass and Jürgen Kohler (HoL Icon) are already on the list. Given the many excellent center-backs in the game right now, we simply can’t include them all.

    Holding is no more a CB boost. It’s a CM & CDM boost
    Also Tackling boost increases marking, stand tackle, slide tackle and acceleration. So it might be the best boost if ur CB is already having good strength

      Because he is a Prime Icon, and not achievable by f2p. Moreover, Prime Icon is guaranteed to have one of the best gameplay, so voting is not needed to be sure about it.

    How is Bobby Moore (95 Icons) with Holding SB?. Although the attacking/defensive work rate is medium and has low height ,but he has good stats.

    why is no body talking about bundesliga rivals akanji.he is a beast for heading.if you are playing against a hard team and you get a corner he will help you.not only that,he is nice also in defeding.he have 132 heading.my suggestion.

      No. Akanji is trash. His defending stats are trash and even worse is his skill boost.
