FIFA 23: Best, fastest and high-potential young centre backs

FIFA 23 is right around the corner and this marks another new season of EA’s iconic FIFA series of football simulation games. As any football fan will agree, a good defence will make the difference whether your team will survive relegation, qualify for competitions or go all the way and win the league.

Good strikers will ensure your team gets goals consistently, great wingers will let you go past defenders with ease and class midfielders will let you dictate tempo and dominate the middle of the park. However, a good defence will keep pesky attackers at bay and help your team to keep that vital clean sheet.

From players like Van Dijk to Stefan Savić, every team will need a different type of defender to suit their playstyle. Whether you want to go for a three at the back or the traditional two, you may want to pick CBs that will complement each other and also suit your style and budget.

The following list is a compilation of the best centre backs in the game with the highest overalls. These players are the cream of the crop and will help you dominate your opponents in almost any situation.
