In FIFA 23, players purchase various superstars from different clubs to build the perfect team in several squad-building game modes. Knowing which players to buy can make a massive difference, especially in Career Mode and Ultimate Team. Finding young talents for the defensive positions can be tricky, and you'll need the best to hold the line at the back. Here are some of the best young Center and Full Backs players can purchase in FIFA 23.

Best Center Back wonderkids in FIFA 23

The best defenders, like Virgil Van Dijk, Mattijs De Ligt, and Eder Militao, play for the top clubs and would easily cost a ton of money. While some world-class players can cost a lot of money, you can get a few promising and rising talents by spending less. If you are starting with a weaker team, we recommend spending the money wisely on younger players than well-established icons. Although these young talents have lower ratings than first-team starters, they are brilliant at building a squad and improving over the seasons.
