FIFA 22 Career Mode Transfer Budgets

THE BEST DEFENDERS FOR CAREER MODE

In this page, we suggest the best FIFA 22 defenders for Career Mode you should be able to use in your club. Keep in mind that the best players for us may not be for you. It depends on your club, other players, formation, transfer budget, wages budget, play style, preferences, etc… To select the best players, we have mainly into consideration their stats, potential and age. That’s why a few old players are not in this list. Someone who will not be playing for more than two seasons in our club is not such a good buy as someone who will play for five or six seasons.
