Best Choice: Keylor Navas. After having won three Champions League titles with La Liga giants Real Madrid, Keylor Navas came to Paris in search of a new challenge (and probably a pay raise, too). Generally regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world, the Costa Rican star is one of the safest bets between the posts, not only in a Ligue 1 team but in all of FC 25 Coins game modes.
Budget Alternative: Steve Mandanda. At 36 years of age, Mandanda remains a top goalkeeper, playing for Olympique Marseille, one of France's biggest clubs. His 84 reflexes rating and positioning valued at 81 will ensure that players who buy him are well-protected at the back.
Best Choice: Youcef Atal. His overall rating may seem low at 79. but after a deeper dive into his individual statistics, players should have no doubt about Atal's quality as a right back. With 91 pace and dribbling skills rated at 81. he's Ligue 1's most agile player in his position, a crucial quality for a modern-day wide defender.
Budget Alternative: Leo Dubois. Lyon's 3rd captain might not be the most skilled player in the league, but he's very versatile, with most of his key abilities (aside from shooting) ranging well above the 70-point mark. His price on the open market fluctuates between 700 and 950 coins, so he's an absolute steal, regardless of whether one wants to use him as a substitute, or a first-team member.
Best Choices: Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe. While the best picks for the right-back positions are OGC Nice and Lyon cheap EAFC 25 Coins players, the best central defensive duo consists of PSG's Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe. With the Brazilian's defending stat of 87. and the Frenchman's 84 physicality rating, the pair can hold off even the most dangerous forwards.
Of course, stars such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar are certain picks for those who can afford them. Players looking to get an edge should seek out footballers who had an exceptionally good season last year, especially compared to the earlier years of their careers, since those are the kinds of athletes guaranteed to receive major stats boosts in FC 25 Coins.
The Manchester United left-back has had a tumultuous career, plagued by injuries, long periods of poor form, and an incredibly toxic relationship with the team's previous coach, Jose Mourinho. However, the English giants knew what they were doing when they shelled out 22 million euros for him back in 2022.
The English defender has more than proven his worth last season. He's put in astonishing performances week-in, week-out, which culminated in a fantastic Euro tournament, where he was the England national team's key player, helping them reach the final with extremely effective chance creation and pacey runs down the left flank. FC players can expect his overall rating to go up by a few points from the 82 base rating in FC 25.
The Italian defender has formed an impenetrable partnership at the back with Giorgio Chiellini during this year's Euro 2020 tournament, proving to every football aficionado that age is just a number. He's also maintained a great performance level at Juventus, despite it being one of the worst seasons "the Old Lady" has had in years.
In FC Coins for sale. Bonucci boasted an already-high rating of 85. and given the fact that he was one of the main reasons why Italy won the Euros, EA will likely prop that overall rating up even higher. At 34 years old, he won't be the fastest player on the pitch in any team, but his defensive acumen makes him a more than worthy addition to any Serie A or Italian Ultimate Team squad.
