Mapi Leon has received a great defensive rating this year in the game. Having the Jockey as well as Intercept+ Playstyles on top of it is an added bonus. She is a Spaniard and plays for Barcelona Femini, so her nationality and club affiliation can result in good Ultimate Team link-ups.

Wendie Renard is another player with an excellent Defensive rating in FC 25. Her Anticipate+ Playstyle should aid in winning standing tackles and Jockey should help her catch up with fleeing attackers.

FC Barcelona's Jules Kounde is a good option for those who want naturally quick defenders. His defensive rating looks pretty good and he comes equipped with Jockey+ Playstyle, all of which should render your defensive line quite secure.

Defending - 89

Irene Paredes isn't as fast as Kounde but is very solid defensively. Her Physicality also seems decent which in combination with her Bruiser and Jockey Playstyles make her seem like an excellent option as a center back. Notably, Paredes even possesses the Slide Tackle+ Playstyle in EA FC 25.


6) Benjamin Pavard

Overall - 84

Defending - 86

Benjamin Pavard has access to the Jockey+ Playstyle. Since his Pace (75) isn't that great, this should make up for his lack of natural speed on certain occasions and, in combination with his defensive rating, should render him a much more secure option at the back.


7) Antonio Rudiger

Defending - 86

Real Madrid's Antonio Rudiger is another excellent option to have in your backline. He is defensively adept and is even quite physical. His Pace (82) is decent, but the Jockey Playstyle should render his Sprint Jockey faster. Furthermore, Bruiser+ will provide more strength for physical tackles.


8) Marquinhos

Overall - 87

Defending - 89

PSG's Marquinhos can hold his own against strikers due to his high defensive rating. Where he does lack a bit is Pace (79), but this Playstyle will help in improving the Brazilian's Jockey Sprint speed and transitions, making him one of the best defenders in EA FC 25.


9) William Saliba

William Saliba's case is quite like that of Marquinhos. He is a good defensive option and gets aided by his Jockey and Anticipate+ Playstyles.


10) Sakina Karchaoui

Overall - 87

Defending - 80

Sakina Karchaoui's defensive rating is decent; however, she is very quick (Pace 89). So, while she may not be as defensively secure as some others on this list, her natural speed and the boost provided by Jockey should help her catch up with any fleeing attackers, win the ball, and transition quickly into an attack.
