The Best FIFA 19 Serie A Centre-Backs

CB
 

A goalkeeper task is made easier if in front of him are quality central backs. Their function is to stop the opponent from getting dangerously close to your team’s goal.

Chiellini is still the highest rated centre back playing in Italy.

On a centre back, two attributes assume particular importance on their performance: defending and physical, which represents strength, stamina, aggression and jumping.

A player with good at defending will have an easier chance of dispossessing the opponent and avoid him reaching your box.

It’s the case of Chiellini and Barzagli. It’s really hard to get past them.

The physical attribute shows the old heading capability but also how likely the players are to win game with their body. This is a crucial attribute when looking for the best centre back.

In this chapter, Koulibaly is who stand out.

Defending and heading may be useless against fast opponents. It’s necessary to fight fire with fire. No one likes feeling impotent when seeing you get overrun by extremely fast players. Even though, in a way, centre backs aren’t that fast, every team needs one of these players with a high pace attribute.

Manolas is clearly the fastest centre back playing in the Serie A.

Giorgio Chiellini is our first choice for this position. He is the one with the best defending stats. The Juventus’ defender is the most expensive of all centre backs in Serie A but there are many other high-quality options. Most of the times the big question is to decide who will partner with Chiellini? Koulibaly is stronger but Manolas is faster, making him a better option if you already have a slow CB in your team, like Bonucci. The Italian defender is the most balanced CB in this league but needs someone fast playing next to him.

The Italian football is known by its defensive and tactical style. It’s no surprise to find great defenders for amazing prices. You don’t need a good budget to build a strong defensive line in this league.

The Best FIFA 19 Serie A Right Backs

RB RWB
 

Full backs have the role of troubling the job of wingers. In addition, good full backs also support their team mates on offensive manoeuvres.

Florenzi is the most popular right backs playing in Serie A.

There are very important attributes for any right back: defending and pace.

Since they’re defenders they should have good defending capacities. This reduces a team’s risk of conceding.

In Italy, no other right back defends as well as Hysaj and Vrsaljko.

A flanked game tends to be faster than a game based in the middle of the field. The players that fill these spaces are obligated to be fast, both penetrating defensive and attacking moves of the team. Pace is one of the most important requirements for a good full back. Even in FIFA 19.

João Cancelo is the fastest one.

Florenzi and Cancelo are the best choices for who needs good Serie A right backs. Šime Vrsaljko and Elseid Hysaj are also valid offers if you don’t want to spend so much coins.

The Best FIFA 19 Serie A Left Backs

LB LWB
 

Left backs have exactly the same role of their team mates on the other flank. In other words, they try to make a winger’s job hard and participate in the team’s offensive manoeuvres.

On the Serie A, there is a left back that stand out more than the other ones: Alex Sandro.

Besides being the highest rated LB, Alex Sandro is also the one who defends better in this league.

Dalberto is faster than any other left back.

Alex Sandro is, in our opinion, the best left back playing in Serie A. He’s fast, good dribbler and defends well. He is an amazing player.

If pace is all you need, then Dalbert may be who are looking for. Ghoulam and Mário Rui are also decent choices but they are much slower.
