Best EA FC 27 Defender+ cards
The best EA FC 27 cards with the Defender+ or Defender++ role, ranked by meta rating, with live prices.
Scout report
Defender+ is a role for center backs in FC 27 that rewards a Stays Back, Defending approach. It exists for the CB position, covers both Defend and Balanced focuses, and more than 1000 cards in Ultimate Team carry it at + or ++.
The role asks your centre back to hold the line and focus on defending rather than stepping forward. The ranking is led by Paolo Maldini (93 CB, Base Icon), followed by Rio Ferdinand (89 CB, Base Icon) and Jaap Stam (88 CDM, Ultimate Scream Hero). Raphaël Varane and Franz Beckenbauer also sit near the top, so Icons dominate this list.
Worth checking if you want a pure defensive centre back who stays home. Go for Maldini or Ferdinand if your club allows it, and look at Pubill or Upamecano among the non-Icon options.
