FIFA 18 rating predictions: 5 best defenders in the game

#3 Thiago Silva

Best Brazilian defender today?

Brazil has historically been known to produce some lightning quick attackers and potent finishers and over the years this fact has been heavily solidified as a true one. However, one particular defender keeps on proving that it’s not just forwards who deserve all the plaudits. Thiago Silva has cemented himself as Brazil’s very best marshal at the back and alongside some exciting young defensive talent, has made the South Americans a dependable force in defence.

For PSG too, the 32-year-old continues to shine and has committed wholeheartedly to the French club. While critics continue to slam his captaincy at the Paris club, nobody can doubt that Silva is one of the most talented defenders in his generation. FIFA 18 could see a rating of 90 for the hard working Brazilian.
