It\u2019s a popular term in basketball but equally true in soccer. Building a solid defensive line requires at least three and up to five quality pieces, which can get quite expensive\u2014not if you follow our guide to the best cheap defenders in EA FC 25 Career Mode. One of the best strikers in EA FC 25 can score enough goals all on his own, but one great defender will find it hard to keep a whole defensive line in check. Whether you prefer to play with three central defenders or go for a more classic setup with full-backs and a pair of CBs, you\u2019ll need a large budget or a smart transfer policy to fill your club\u2019s defensive needs. If you\u2019re blessed with the former, great for you, but if not, it\u2019s time to look for the best bargains for defenders in EA FC 25 Career Mode. Best cheap right-backs in EA FC 25 Career Mode Mattia Zanotti (Lugano) - 73 OVR, 83 potential, $7 million Juanlu Sanchez (Sevilla) - 72 OVR, 83 potential, $5.5 million Martim Fernandes (Porto) - 69 OVR, 84 potential, $3.3 million Pedro Lima (Wolverhampton Wanderers) - 68 OVR, 83 potential, $2.9 million Hector Fort (Barcelona) - 65 OVR, 82 potential, $1.8 million There are surprisingly few high-potential right-backs you can poach in EA FC 25 Career Mode. It\u2019s practically impossible to have a player rated 85 at the position without bringing out the bag. On a positive note, there are a couple of real steals, Lugano\u2019s Mattia Zanotti and Sevilla\u2019s Juanlu Sanchez, that can almost instantly slot in the starting 11 and will only become better with time. Martim Fernandes and Pedro Lima are the best cheap right-backs if you can afford to wait, while Barcelona prospect Hector Fort is the undisputed champion of ultra-budget Career Mode saves. Best cheap left backs in EA FC 25 Career Mode Jorrel Hato (Ajax) - 75 OVR, 88 potential, $13.5 million Lewis Hall (Newcastle United) - 73 OVR, 85 potential, $7.5 million Tom Rothe (Union Berlin) - 72 OVR, 83 potential, $5 million Octavio Ontivero (Lanus) - 62 OVR, 83 potential, $1.3 million Harry Amass (Manchester United) - 60 OVR, 85 potential, $800,000 We\u2019ve taken the liberty to include the relatively expensive Jorrel Hato because he\u2019s still a great value purchase with how great he is off the bat and how much greater he becomes in just a couple of seasons\u2014definitely a bargain if you can afford it. This is a guide to the best cheap left-backs in EA FC 25 Career Mode, after all, and we have plenty of options for lower budgets. Newcastle\u2019s Lewis Hall isn\u2019t worlds apart from Hato\u2019s quality at half the price, making him the best truly cheap prospect. Another Englishman, Harry Amass, is the only player to look at around and below the $1 million mark. Tom Rothe and Octavio Ontivero are the backup options if you can\u2019t acquire Hall or Amass, respectively. Best cheap center backs in EA FC 25 Career Mode Nicol\u00e1s Otamendi (Benfica) - 81 OVR, 81 potential, $5 million Tony Abranjes (Internacional) - 80 OVR, 80 potential, $4.1 million Pau Cubarsi (Barcelona) - 72 OVR, 88 potential, $6 million Luka Vuskovic (Westerlo) - 64 OVR, 86 potential, $1.9 million Tobias Palacio (Argentinos Juniors)
