FIFA 18 rating predictions: 5 best defenders in the game

#4 Giorgio Chiellini

Juventus’ main man at the back

Juventus have for long been blessed with the best defensive line in the world. Ranging from a goal keeper as iconic as Gianluigi Buffon to a backline consisting of the very best defenders in European football, Italian domination is a regular for the Turin club. Such domination is led strongly by one Giorgio Chiellini. The Italian has successfully created a monopoly around the country where Juve rule the roost and literally the defenders lead from the front.

Their impressive clean sheet record in the Champions League leading up to the final makes this fact all the more believable. Chiellini continues to march on regardless of age and is expected to rank among the very best in FIFA 18. His FIFA 17 rating of 88 was certainly worthy, but a season at Italy’s top yet again coupled with an impressive Champions League performance and clean sheet record means this imposing 32-year-old could make his way to the 90s this time around.
