Ultimate Team’s best CBs have evolved since its release as the game’s meta continues to change with every new promo. With FUTTIES being one of the last promos in FC 24, there are some pretty high-rated options for every position that now define the meta as end-game options.
Meta CBs have multiple PlayStyle+ traits in defensive categories, a unique body type, and a ‘Lengthy’ or ‘Mostly Lengthy’ acceleration type.
Although it might be expensive, getting a defender with the Anticipate+ PlayStyle is always the best course of action as it is still the meta PS+ for center-backs in EA FC 24. Other great PlayStyles for CBs are Block, Aerial, and Intercept.
Players like Virgil van Dijk, Eder Militao, William Saliba, Ibrahima Konate, and John Stones have the highly desired Antcipate+ PlayStyle from the list above.
