Left-back is another unsurprising choice as Scotland‘s Andy Robertson is a fantastic combination of pace, skill, and technique, with solid all-round stats that make him perfect for this Liverpool team. Able to break down the flank and whip pinpoint crosses into the box, while FC 25 Coins being strong enough defensively to break up attacks, Robertson is a reliable choice on the left. His 91 stamina also means he can run all day, which really helps him stay involved later in games.

An absolute no-brainer, the 89-rated Dutch monster is quite simply one of the best defenders in world football, and his stats in FC 25 reflect this. As commanding in the air as anyone, his pace, power, and defensive positioning mean almost every attack falls apart around him. 88 Sprint speed and 92 strength make VVD a physical freak, while 90 interceptions, 92 defensive awareness, and 92 standing tackle mean he reads the game incredibly and would walk into any team.

Partnering Van Dijk at the back is Joe Gomez. Although boasting a lower rating than Joel Matip, Gomez has a great pace with 85 sprint speed, meaning he can keep up with pacey strikers and track those deadly central runs. While he boasts some pretty average defensive stats, his pace alone gets him into the side ahead of Matip, who is simply too slow to be usable in such a pace-dominated game as FC 25.

Rounding off the defense is Trent Alexander-Arnold. The young Englishman has phenomenal passing, and his 92 crossing with 87 curve and 90 long passing stats mean he can pick out insane long balls and will bag plenty of assists. While not the quickest fullback, with cheap EA FC Coins a modest 78 pace, Trent makes up for it in his all-round ability, and much like Robertson on the other side, his creativity and high attacking work rate emphasize just how effective he is going forward.
