Young FM26 defenders

FM26 database 26.2.0 · Career date: 7 July 2025. PA is resolved in this career, not a guarantee of development. Values are export estimates in pounds, not asking prices or wages. Unknown attributes remain unknown.

← All shortlists

Selected positions: DC/SW/DL/DR/WBL/WBR · Age <= 21 · PA in this career >= 140 · CA >= 65 · Ranked by: PA in this career (descending), CA (descending). Selected exported positions, not familiarity scores. PA is resolved in this career.

Choose the defensive position before judging potential

Selected DC, SW, DL, DR, WBL or WBR positions, age up to 21, career PA 140+ and CA 65+ define this group. PA then CA rank the results; tackling on the card is not an entry threshold. For central duties compare positioning, anticipation, heading and jumping; for wide demands inspect pace, stamina, crossing and passing in the full profile. The CB and FB links preserve age, PA, CA and order while narrowing the position group. A versatile player can appear in both, and high PA does not establish current role suitability.
