Best Defenders for FIFA 14 Career Mode

Best CB’s for FIFA 14 Career Mode

Our Choice: SERGIO RAMOS

Nationality: Spain
Rating: 86
Potential: 89
Age: 27

There are several good players for this position but some of them can only be used with a pacey team mate next to them. Piqué and Hummels are two good examples. If you have a fat wallet, Ramos will do his work very well.

Best Alternative: RAPHAEL VARANE

Nationality: France
Rating: 81
Potential: 88
Age: 21

If you don’t have so much money, you can try another Madrid’s centre back. Varane is young, has good defending stats, is fast enough and may be one of the best defenders in a near future. You can take a look to Mangala, Nicolas Nkoulou and Angelo Ogbonna too.

Best Deal: YOUNÈS KABOUL

Nationality: France
Rating: 80
Potential: 82
Age: 27

Who already have played with him, probably knows that he is a good and balanced defender. He ends his contract with Spurs in 2014, so you can get him free. If the transfer fails, you can try Mamadou Sakho that ends his contract with PSG too.

Free Player: FRANCISCO AMOREBIELSA

Nationality: Venezuela
Rating: 81
Potential: 82
Age: 28

There are some popular players, as Puyol and Nesta, that you can get for free but if you are building a team for the future you probably will prefer someone younger as Amorebielsa. If you are thinking in a long term, you may also take a look to the Brazilians Luccas Claro and Thiago Heleno. Both may reach in the future a rating of 78.

 

Best Young CB’s in FIFA 14 Career Mode

Best Promise: JONATHAN TAH

Nationality: Germany
Rating: 60
Potential: 83
Age: 17

Tah only has 17 years old but he is one of the defenders with higher potential growth. He is not prepared to be a first option yet but in the future he may be important in your team.

Best Alternative: LUIZ EDUARDO

Nationality: Brazil
Rating: 67
Potential: 83
Age: 20

A bit older, Luiz Eduardo already has decent stats which means that it will be easier to put him playing in your team. Take a look to some promises like Nathan Aké, Facundo Cardozo and Dario Del Fabro and don’t forget to follow Koray Günter and Leo Chambers since their are ending their contracts in the end of the first season.

 

Best Right Backs (RB) for FIFA 14 Career Mode

Best RB’s for FIFA 14 Career Mode

Our Choice: PHILIPP LAHM

Nationality: Germany
Rating: 87
Potential: 87
Age: 30

If you are looking for the best right back money can buy, you can stop your search. Lahm is currently the best RB of the world.

Best Alternative: MATTIA DE SCIGLIO

Nationality: Italy
Rating: 77
Potential: 85
Age: 21

If you don’t have so much money, you can try another some one younger and with a promising future. The Milan’s right back is very fast and may start playing in your team right now. If he gets enough chances, he will be one of the best players in his position. The English players Phil Jones and Micah Richards are more expensive alternatives.

Best Deal: BACARY SAGNA

Nationality: France
Rating: 80
Potential: 80
Age: 30

There are lots of good right backs ending their contracts in the end of first season. If the age is not a problem, try Sagna. Otherwise, take a look to other good players as Abdoulay Konko, Ignazio Abate, Jesús Gámez and Rafinha.

Free Player: ROMAIN DANZÉ

Nationality: France
Rating: 74
Potential: 77
Age: 27

It is very hard to find quality players for this position that are out of contracts. Danzé is one of the few but you can take a look to Roman Shishkin and Norberto Norsales too.

 

Best Young RB’s in FIFA 14 Career Mode

Best Promise: MONTOYA

Nationality: Spain
Rating: 77
Potential: 83
Age: 21

Montoya will be a great player in the future. He already is but he will become even better. And the best part of it is that you can get the pacey Barcelona’s right back for free or for a good price since he ends his contract in 2014.

Best Alternative: HÉCTOR BELLERÍN

Nationality: Spain
Rating: 56
Potential: 82
Age: 18

This fast young player has a lot to learn. In good hands he may becomes a good player for every team. But there are several players that you should look with attention: Mário Fernandes, Santiago Arias, João Cancelo, Tony, Tomáš Kalas, Šime Vrsaljko, Constantin Nica, Hayden White and Bruno Martignoni

 

Best Left Backs (LB) for FIFA 14 Career Mode

Best LB’s for FIFA 14 Career Mode

Our Choice: DAVID ALABA

Nationality: Austria
Rating: 81
Potential: 84
Age: 21

There are better LB’s than Alaba but no one is as good as he is with his age. Buy him and you will get a good defender for many years.

Best Alternative: FÁBIO COENTRÃO

Nationality: Portugal
Rating: 79
Potential: 86
Age: 25

If you don’t have so much money, you should try alternatives to Alaba and to Jordi Alba. In our opinion, Coentrão is a good investment. He already is a top player and Madrid may make you a good price since they have Marcelo as first option. Coentrão needs to play and if it happens he will be the best LB of the game.

 

Best Deals in FIFA 14 Career Mode

Best Deal: FÁBIO

Nationality: Brazil
Rating: 75
Potential: 81
Age: 23

There are several good LB’s ending their contracts in the end of first season, like Ashley Cole and Patrice Evra. But if you plan do play several seasons, you may try someone younger. Fabio seams to us the right choice.

Free Player: GRIMALDO

Nationality: Spain
Rating: 67
Potential: 78
Age: 18

It is very hard to find quality players for this position that are out of contracts. Grimaldo is one of the few but you can take a look to Henrique (Vasco da Gama) too.

 

Best Young CB’s in FIFA 14 Career Mode

Best Promise: LUKE SHAW

Nationality: England
Rating: 70
Potential: 85
Age: 18

Luke Shaw has contract with Southampton until 2018, which shows how he is looked by the club as a strong promise for the future. He is extremely fast and has everything to be one of the best defenders of the world.

Best Alternative: JETRO WILLEMS

Nationality: Netherlands
Rating: 72
Potential: 83
Age: 19

Willems is another of our favourites. He already has decent stats which means that it will be easier to put him playing in your team. But there are several unknown players that you should look with attention: Declan John, Ronan, Ibrahima Mbaye, Raphaël Guerreiro, Nicola Murru and Jack Robinson.
