Éder Militão is the favourite if you want someone who can carry the ball confidently out of defence. Joško Gvardiol is another great pick, as he’s fast, strong, brilliant on the ball, and can play as a full back.
Dean Huijsen has also been an excellent signing in my several saves because he’s only 20 years old and can be raised into a world-class defender for a long period. If you are managing a mid-tier club and have budget constraints, Ousmane Diomande and Eric Garcia are good Ball Playing Defenders who won’t put a hole in your pocket.
All the defenders on the above list are a perfect fit for your squad if your FM26 Mobile tactics rely on build-up play and want more control from the back.
