The Best CB in the Game

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.
