Separate central and wide defensive needs

The list requires CA 110+ and a selected DC, SW, DL, DR, WBL or WBR position. CA and then career-resolved PA determine the order; tackling shown on the card is not an entry threshold. Compare positioning, anticipation, heading and jumping in the full profile for central defensive demands; inspect pace, stamina, crossing and passing for wide duties. No single attribute establishes suitability for a role. The position links retain CA 110+ and ordering, separating centre-backs/sweepers from full-backs/wing-backs. Multi-position players can appear in both groups. Read the distinct thresholds on the related progression and aerial lists.
