Best Defenders of FIFA 18 - Top 10 Defenders Ratings Released

2) Georgio Chiellini

Another Catenaccio practitioner, Georgio Chiellini is part of the defensive foundation on which Juventus have won five consecutive Serie A titles. The second best defender in the world as per the FIFA 18 ratings, he forms an intimidating defence alongside Andrea Barzagli with the legendary Gianluigi Buffon in goal.

Chiellini's basic FIFA 18 card is rated at 89 with a defence rating of 90, making him the only player in the game to cross the 90 mark in that department. A physically imposing figure, Chiellini has also been given an 85 rating in the physicality attribute making him arguably the best out and out defender in the game.

1) Sergio Ramos

Real Madrid's Champions League defending captain, Sergio Ramos is the best defender in the game, with an overall rating of 90. The Spaniard is also the only defender in the game to cross the 90 mark and also features in the top ten highest rated players in the game.

Ramos has been crucial to Real Madrid's recent success in Europe and Spain with his last-gasp goals and set-piece prowess winning many a lost game for the Los Blancos. He also famously sparked the comeback in the 4-1 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final in Lisbon a couple of seasons back.

Ramos has been given a rating of 90 which includes an 83 rating for physicality and an 88 defending rating. An all-round footballer, he also possesses a three-star weak foot and skill moves while being equally effective at the defending and attacking aspects of the game.
