With the game about to be released, it’s useful to take stock of the best performing players from last season. This blog outlines the top 10 highest scoring defenders for the 2025/2026 season. Hopefully, this information will be useful for team selection for the next campaign.
1. Magalhães (Arsenal) – 321 points
2. Williams (Forest) – 301 points
3. Guéhi (Man City) – 296 points
4. Nunes (Man City) – 288 points
5. Mitchell (Palace) – 279 points
6. Muñoz (Palace) – 262 points
7. Timber (Arsenal) – 261 points
8. O’Reilly (Man City) – 261 points
9. van Dijk (Liverpool) – 258 points
10. Porro (Spurs) – 257 points
Once again we see that teams who finish higher up in the league or those who had a good run in European competitions have more representation than teams lower down. With the main exception being Porro who had a good season considering how poor Spurs were. At this stage, it’s hardly worth considering defenders from teams outside of these clubs for the season ahead, much easier said than done though as all of the players above come at a high cost. It’s also worth noting that most defenders didn’t score particularly well last season with only four making the top 20 highest point scorers on the game.
