Silver players have been some of the most exciting cards in the previous FC 24 Ultimate Team. Some of these silver defenders are just as good as their gold counterparts that can help your team keep the scoreline to a minimum and allow for the attackers to create chances. So, in this article, we will show you the best silver defenders that every gamer should buy in FC 24 Ultimate Team.

1. Saud Abulhamid

There are a lot of good players to use on Ultimate Team now, and Al-Hilal’s Saud Abdulhamid is the perfect option to fill that right-back slot. With a dynamic pace, he can offer his specialties at both ends of the pitch, making up the ground with 92 stamina. He makes a superb silver partnership with striker Moussa Magera, which will be vital for silver teams in FUT 24.​​​​​​​ You just spend 4,600 FUT 24 Coins that can get him.

2. Bright Osayi-Samuel

The Nigerian right back is the definition of quick with a 93 pace score. His recovery pace will be vital as he gets back to aid in defending and chasing down wingers. With fantastic dribbling stats and monster physical stats (he has 83 stamina and 83 strength), Osayi-Samual is the perfect attacking fullback. What lets this man down is his league. He plays for Fenerbahce in the Turkish Super Lig, meaning there aren’t great options for players to link up with him.

3. Timothy Weah

Although Timothy Weah’s base card is an RM, he can operate at both RB and LB, but being right-footed, he should slot in at right back quite comfortably in a silver team. With 85 pace, he is rapid, and his 86 agility will help him beat defenders, bombing up the right-hand side from defense and creating chances further up the pitch.

4. Robert Skov

Robert Skov’s base card is an RWB, and because the Dane is actually left-footed when playing as a wing-back, he is much better suited on the left. He has 85 crossing, 87 curve, and 86 free-kick accuracy. Yes, he is a defender, but he is very comfortable at going forward, and he will be the man to take set-pieces in a silver team. He is much better suited in midfield, but on Ultimate Team, he is a defender and an amazing attacking option.​​​​​​​

5. Ryan Giles

Ryan Giles plays for Premier League new boys Luton Town, who were promoted to the top flight in England from the Championship last season. Giles joined their ranks, and in the game, he is the best silver left back in the league with blistering pass and pinpoint crossing. He is fantastic at dribbling and has tons of energy, getting up and down that left-hand side without issue. Giles and his nation will offer fantastic links with a lot of top-quality English players in the game.​​​​​​​

6. Jordan Tourunarigha

The best silver centre-back in the game is Jordan Torunarigha: with 85 pace, he is extremely quick for a defender — quicker than many of the wingers in the game. Standing at 6’3″, his pace is not his only great attribute. He is also superb at jumping (85) and can put in a solid tackle. He is also able to play some great football with the ball at his feet.

7. Calvin Bassey

Calvin Bassey is a solid option in defense for a silver Premier League team. He is rapid with 83 pace and, more importantly, left-footed, so he will look comfortable in a left-center back role and can even operate as a left back, and he is quick enough to do so. In addition, Bassey is a monster, physically, with 89 stamina and 88 strength. He can go toe-to-toe with the best of them on Ultimate Team.

8. Kevin Akpoguma

For a central defender, Akpoguma has amazing dribbling stats, with 70 as his base stat, but with 76 reactions, 73 ball control and 73 dribbling, he can beat opposition strikers and look to get the ball up the pitch. He plays in the Bundesliga for Hoffenheim, so there are options for links to the likes of Joshua Kimmich or Harry Kane. Akpoguma is quick, strong, and great on the ball. For a cheap fee of 750 FIFA 24 Coins, he will look the part in the back line of a silver team.

9. Armel Bella-Kotchap

Bella-Kotchap is a quick and powerful defender. His 86 strength is one of his best attributes, so one should best believe he can muscle opposition forwards off the ball. His standout stat is his 87 jumping score, so he will win every header that is thrown into the box. What lets down the German is the fact he plays for PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch Eredivisie, so there won’t be many links to other players — but he can be picked up for a cheap price.

If you want to try and revive the team scene in FC 24 Ultimate Team mode, nothing is no better way to do that than to get and use the above top silver players in FUT 24.
