FIFA 20: These are the best defenders

The ten best defenders in FIFA 20 are these stars:

1. Virgil van Dijk (90 / Liverpool FC)
2. Sergio Ramos (89 / Real Madrid)
3. Giorgio Chiellini (89 / Piemonte Calcio)
4. Kalidou Koulibaly (89 / SSC Napoli)
5. Gerard Piqué (88 / FC Barcelona)
6. Diego Godín (88 / Inter Milan)
7. Jordi Alba (87 / FC Barcelona)
8. Mats Hummels (87 / Borussia Dortmund)
9. Toby Alderweireld (87 / Tottenham Hotspur)
10. Aymeric Laporte (87 / Manchester City)

The Dutchman Virgil van Dijk is the big winner here, as he wasn't even one of the top ten defenders in FIFA 19 and now tops the list.Mats Hummels, on the other hand, is the only German Bundesliga player in the top 10. Others follow only on the later places, namely Joshua Kimmich (86 / Bayern Munich) on place 13 and Niklas Süle (85 / Bayern Munich) on place 23. With the Austrian David Alaba (85 / Bayern Munich) at least another Bundesliga player makes it into the top 25.
