FIFA 21 best cheap centre backs

These are the FIFA 21 best cheap centre backs in our opinion. With centre backs there are 3 chemistry style choices we recommend depending on your style of play. If you are confident in defending or sit back more we recommend using sentinel giving the highest possible rating. High interceptions and the only style to give plus 10 defensive awareness, interceptions and aggression. These are key for defenders in FIFA. If you feel you need lots of pace as people keep counter attacking or using long through balls you can add shadow style instead. These are usually harder to find on the market as most players are obsessed with pace. The 3rd is Anchor which gives a bit more pace and defending boost without being higher in either area.



FIFA 21 best cheap centre back Alaba

The best bargain centre back in FIFA 21 is Alaba at Bayern Munich in our opinion. There aren’t many central defenders in the game who have high defending stats with excellent all round stats. 89 rated CB with sentinel chemistry style. 95 defensive awareness and 94 interceptions with 84 composure. His pace, agility and balance help against the quick dribbling attackers everyone uses. Also has 4 star weak foot with 85 short passing to help his accuracy. He can start attacks too. We played a lot of games where he us turn defence into attack. The Bundesliga has lots of good players to create a strong team or defensive base.

Marquinhos FIFA 21 bargain centre back

Second in our bargain centre backs is Marquinhos. Good natural pace and a 91 rated cb with sentinel chemistry style. Very high defensive stats including 96 interceptions and 97 defensive awareness. He will rival any player in the game for heading with 99 jumping and heading accuracy. Good passing, composure and stamina make him a top player. As with Alaba we like defenders who can pass because of how bad FIFA is generally with passing. French league isn’t as strong as the German but some useful defensive players and of course two of the best attackers in the game.

Lenglet beast cheap centre back FIFA 21

Lenglet is our 3rd favourite cheap centre back in Ultimate team. Very similar stats to Marquinhos but just a bit lower passing and dribbling. 99 defensive awareness and becomes 91 rated also with sentinel chemistry style. 97 interceptions and with 99 jumping and 98 heading accuracy he will win lots of headers from corners and free kicks again. There are always lots of excellent French players in FUT and every year EA release lots of special French cards.

Manolas bargain Serie A CB FIFA 21

Manolas is a great cheap centre back in FIFA 21. One of the very few regular players with higher pace and good defensive stats. WIth sentinel chemistry style he is an 89 rated cb with 96 interceptions and 95 defensive awareness. High defensive work rate and low attacking work rate also means he focuses on defending. Doesn’t have a strong weak foot or good passing like the top 3. However if he did he wouldn’t be cheap in the 1st place. His 96 aggression comes in useful when battling against very strong attackers.

De Ligt great cheap bargain CB FIFA 21

De Ligt is an intriguing player on FUT21. After his big move to Juventus EA have made him the highest rated potential centre back on career mode. Whether they add secret stats we don’t know but he has played lots of really good games for us in Ultimate team. Sentinel style makes him a 91 rated CB with 96 defensive awareness and 93 interceptions. Strength and aggression both also 93. Decent passing and composure with 4 star weak foot make him good on the ball.

Klostermann cheap CB with pace FIFA 21

Klostermann is a fast CB in FIFA and with sentinel has 94 defensive awareness and 91 interceptions. His 88 sprint speed keeps him up with most players if chasing back. Impressive for a 6ft 2 player even if acceleration is slower at 79. If you did need a very fast cheap centre back you can add shadow chemistry style and he will keep up with all attackers. Only medium defensive work rate which keeps his value down but a decent short pass of 74. At 6ft 2 with 97 jumping and 93 heading accuracy he is useful for attacking and defending set pieces. Lots of strong players to link with in the Bundesliga, including our number 1 choice.

Another Serie A amazing cheap CB Bonnucci

Our 7th choice for best bargain CB on FIFA Ultimate team is Bonnucci. A 91 reated centre back with sentinel style and 99 defensive awareness and interceptions. Also has 99 jumping and heading accuracy. Making him the ulitmate cheap player for defending and attacking set pieces. Especially being 6ft 3, we scored a few goals from corners with him and he was very good at clearing in defence. Bonnuci also has the passing stats and 4 star weak foot that we like in our defenders. With 84 long passing to start those attacks from deep. Only his pace and balance let him down but these stats keep his value down.

Dayot Upamecano bargain beast CB FIFA

One of the players wanted in real life and in our top 10 bargain defenders is Upamecano. 84 sprint speed even if only 69 acceleration gives him enough pace when you have a head start on pacey strikers. Sentinel chemistry style means 95 strength and 91 aggression so not many players will get past him. 99 jumping and 96 heading will have him clearing corners and free kicks and winning them too. Only medium medium work rates but his pace and other stats make up for that somewhat. Lacks composure but he is more of a dominant strong defender than most to win the ball. 75 short passing allows him to get the ball to others close by. 89 standing tackle is assisted by all the power but his sliding is only 82 so not one to be trying too many lunges.

Kimpembe cheap French CB FIFA21

Kimpembe has been one of our favourite cheap centre backs for a few years on FUT now. He has good pace and with sentinel style has 98 aggression to boss players being 6ft 2. 93 heading and jumping with that height help him win headers from set pieces and 89 strength is enough to help against most high rated strikers. 88 defensive awareness is good enough to keep him alert for danger. High attacking defensive and attacking work rates with 79 short passing means he can be trusted to play the ball out and start attacks as well as defend. French players have lots of good links in FUT as always.

Felipe bargain CB La Liga FIFA21

Finally in our top 10 FIFA 21 best cheap centre backs is Felipe from La Liga. With sentinel has everything to be one of the best centre backs in the game, except his pace and balance let him down. He is a great no nonsense defender with 97 interceptions and defensive awareness plus 99 aggression. 99 jumping and heading accuracy and 94 strength means he wins header after header in attack and defence. We used him next to Lenglet and they generally held their own well against much higher rated strikers. Felipe is 91 rated with sentinel and at 6ft 3 and high defensive work rate is worth using.
