One of the best football managers in the game, Sir Alex Ferguson, once said, “Attack wins you games, defence wins you titles“. It’s important to get the defense right in FIFA Mobile, though making correct decisions here can be tricky. Often, the popular names and the high overall ratings make certain cards stand out, and they may live up to their expectations as well. However, sometimes though, this isn’t the case, and their in-game performance can actually be a little below par. Because of that, picking cards based on popularity and solely the overall ratings can be unreliable. Not to worry though, as we have compiled a list of the best defenders and goalkeepers in FIFA Mobile 22. We have analyzed a range of different cards to see which ones stand out most.
Preparing the list of best Defenders in FIFA Mobile 22
We have analyzed several cards and particularly their in-game performance to determine which are the best. The list has been split up into sections for each of the defensive positions, so CBs are only compared to other CBs for example.
It can be easy to pick out that 100 million coin prime icon however it is unlikely this is applicable to the larger majority of the FIFA Mobile player base. Therefore, we have split the list according to price ranges. Cards costing upwards of 50 million have been omitted, as those premium picks will no doubt be worth their price. Of course, prices can differ throughout the season, so take these price ranges with a slight pinch of salt.
Note: We may have missed some cards which would have deserved a place on the list, or we may have suggested a card that perhaps is not that good. If this is the case, feel free to voice your opinions in the comments below!
List of Best Defenders in FIFA Mobile 22
Best Centre-Backs (CB) in FIFA Mobile 22
The center-back is one of the most important positions in FIFA Mobile, though it is also one of the most difficult to get right. The best defenders should be able to reliably make tackles and block shots without fail. Additionally, modern-day CBs also possess good ball-playing abilities too. Therefore, the main stats to look out for in CBs are Tackling, Marking, Strength, Positioning, and Long Passing.

Best Right-Backs (RB) in FIFA Mobile 22
Whilst some fullbacks function as wide defenders, whilst others are tasked with making bombing runs forward to contribute to the attack as well. All in all, this can be quite a demanding position for the player, but a very useful one for the team.
For defensive-minded RBs, good defensive stats and a high defensive work rate are the baselines. The attacking-minded RBs should ideally have a high attacking work rate and good stats for Pace, Dribbling, and Crossing.

Best Goalkeepers (GK) in FIFA Mobile 22
A goalkeeper’s performance can completely change the outcome of a match. A goalkeeper that can consistently make saves can keep a team afloat no matter how poorly their defense performs. In FIFA Mobile 22, things are different.
In comparison to previous seasons, keepers make no way near as big of a difference anymore. For example, a 100 OVR wouldn’t perform noticeably better than a 98 overall which costs half the price. The best way to judge keepers now is through their overall rating and their value for money.
