I use Diomande and Branthwaite on an Everton save. Use Branthwaite as a battering ram for near post corner routines, so far he's got 38 goals in 3 seasons just from corners including 17 in season 3 so far. Build a big physical team with jumping reach and height, flood the box with crosses and play for set pieces, works really well (maybe too well!)
Only way to play Branthwaite is to have Everton as your team or have a team with big transfer budget 😢 he’s really good at corner as you said. Really pairs well with a quick BPD.
Al Chidaille Bitshiabu and Alan Matturro have both been smashing it for me. Bitshiabu is a speed demon (faster than Maxence Lacroix at only 20 years of age) & Matturro can also play as a WB, giving him so much value. Neither cost more than £10m (i think Matturro was actually around 6, with bonus/clauses taking it to 8)
Alessandro Circati is so so good. Starts at 19 at Parma in Serie B and cost me under 5m in my 2nd season with Leeds. Was signing Vitik but he came up and I couldn’t pass on him so signed him aswell. Ended up outperforming Vitik and being my starting cb by the end of the season. Just won the premier league in my 4th season with 1 defeat and the best defence itl with a back 3 of Vitik Circati and Diomande, also conceded the least goals by a distance. I like the fact he’s from a less common nation in Australia too; also barely ever has to go on international duty because they basically only play friendlies. Those 3 with Jan Paul Van Hecke rotating in are impenetrable, highly recommend every one of them.
Pavlovic is a beast of a defender. Had him in my save before my laptop needed a factory reset. Now my defense is scalvini and Diomande. Two great players aswell. Pavlovic is at city in my new save 😢
looked through all the comment's and can't believe no one mentions Abakar Sylla , dude is a monster CB .... got him with Guéhi on my palace save and have the best defence in the prem
I signed milenkovic for about £20m in my first ever fm save with brighton and he scored 30 goals over 3 seasons (almost exclusively from corners). He is amazing
Pavlovic is good, but lack of ball playing abilities means he struggles at the top level. Plus the engine loves dribbly passy CBs and punishes "traditional" CBs.
In my beta save with Man United I began season 2 with a 4 man cb rotation of the top 4 guys here after the Saudi clubs came and took every aging overpaid player I had for way more than they were worth… those were good times
i use Jean Paul van Hecke almost in my evety save. And let me tell you. He is SUPERB. His contract runs out in the first year and usually you can get him before brighton renews his contract.
picked up Souter in the championship got me 20 something goals that season purely from corners and was my second best scorer, 6'6 beast, he was okay in the poem the next season too.
How about the same serise, players by position but with either players under 1M or (even better) players with expiring contracts. This is one of my favourite tactics in the transfer market, usually because my teams have no money 😞
I managed to pick up Eder Militao for £35m for my Man Utd save in season two. I was made up. He has been awesome and helped us win the CL. So glad he was unhappy at Real as that meant I could sign him for a low fee.
I signed Guehi to replace Van Dyke in my Liverpool save. He rotates with Pascal Struijk on left side of centre defence. Good option in an English save.
People always sleep on Tanguy Nianzou and Maxence Lacroix these two as a pair are one of the most underrated ball playing defenders in the game. Nianzou is an FM legend for all my saves since FM20, He is so elite🔥
Maybe not for the first season but I signed Zeno Debast from Anderlech for 28M (release clause for teams playing continental tournaments) and makes a great BPD
Surprisingly a very mainstream list! Both striker videos were really not so mainstream and were great, this one is full of defenders everyone is aware of. Sorry for criticizing, we just know you can do better! We need more suggestions like Dragusin, etc. Thank you for your work anyway, great job!
All good. Thanks for delivering this in a positive manner, genuinely appreciate that. Noted. I just go with my genuine top 10 for these things, if they’re mainstream or niche, I’m not really considering, just my personal favourites. Perhaps if it ends up pretty ‘obvious’ I could include a little segment of “these are pretty mainstream, so here are some bonus obscure picks” or something.
Id have Zeno debast up there somewhere. You can get the guy for less than 10 million and hes a great player. Currently 6 year's in and my 2 top Centre backs are Guehi L, Debast R
Mine were Erakovic and Katinic , last few FMs but they both got new transfers so they don't wanna join 1st season so I go for Pavlovic or M.Ilic unless I play with someone rich
Fun Fact: Barcelona loaned Todibo to Benfica back in 20/21 with the option to buy for 20m. Benfica rarely played him and now looking back 20m would have been a bargain for him.
I have minervino anel ahmedozic and Alan matters as my 3 rotating centre backs, all pretty cheap and they have got me into the champions league with preston
You'll need to make sure the leagues are loaded when you start the save. Bit shit for FM touch/Ipad players as I'm sure there's a five league limit. But it's what it is.
I do know. The taller a player, generally the stronger the player, the braver the player, the higher their jumping reach is. Looking at height gives you a quick overview of multiple attributes that affect aerial domination, rather than just how high they can jump.
Besides English players i almost agree with all. English players values are over inflated and have high wages. Unless you play in the Prem, you never sign them.
Strahina Pavlovic is a monster and the best defender I’ve ever had for set pieces
A player who performed really well for me in the Prem for only £14.5m is Lorenzo Pirola - good young ball playing CB and was very consistent
I use Diomande and Branthwaite on an Everton save. Use Branthwaite as a battering ram for near post corner routines, so far he's got 38 goals in 3 seasons just from corners including 17 in season 3 so far. Build a big physical team with jumping reach and height, flood the box with crosses and play for set pieces, works really well (maybe too well!)
Obviously works too well, your centre back is on 17goals 😂.. personally don't like doing these type things as makes the game very easy
where did you get your set piece from ?
Only way to play Branthwaite is to have Everton as your team or have a team with big transfer budget 😢 he’s really good at corner as you said. Really pairs well with a quick BPD.
Al Chidaille Bitshiabu and Alan Matturro have both been smashing it for me. Bitshiabu is a speed demon (faster than Maxence Lacroix at only 20 years of age) & Matturro can also play as a WB, giving him so much value.
Neither cost more than £10m (i think Matturro was actually around 6, with bonus/clauses taking it to 8)
Sebastian Bornauw is pretty underrated as well not a high ceiling but rock solid and not to expensive.
Yeah, I did an Everton save and formed a back three of branthwaite, bornauw and tarkowski
So aerially dominant I loved it
Transfer listed at £4M at the start of the save. Bargain.
Alessandro Circati is so so good. Starts at 19 at Parma in Serie B and cost me under 5m in my 2nd season with Leeds. Was signing Vitik but he came up and I couldn’t pass on him so signed him aswell. Ended up outperforming Vitik and being my starting cb by the end of the season.

looked through all the comment's and can't believe no one mentions Abakar Sylla , dude is a monster CB .... got him with Guéhi on my palace save and have the best defence in the prem
I found that dude without looking UA-cam and yes he is great have him paired with tomori
Got dreams of an Inacio, Milenkovic and Diomande back 3 with Diomande pushing up into Libero
Silva, Inacio, Todibo, Scalvini and Diomande are my go to guys too...lol...well done!
Hato from Ajax is a beast, only 17-18 years old when you start, but he becomes incredible 👌
Ibrahima Bamba from Saudi club, cheap, fast af, great signing even if you are a second division club with ambition.
He is class, but doesn't play in Saudi, Al-Duhail play in Qatar.
Mees Hilgers, very underrated and cheap. Lot of goals from corner
I signed milenkovic for about £20m in my first ever fm save with brighton and he scored 30 goals over 3 seasons (almost exclusively from corners). He is amazing
Vitik is cracked, I fucked up not signing him off rip in my Anderlecht save.
Danilho Doekhi from union Berlin. Cheap value, cheap wages. Very solid player, especially if you're a team without a massive budget.
You forget Pavlovic
No he didnt, hes not top 10 ;-)
No mate, defo forgot Pavlo@@Ren_1986
Pavlovic is decent and cheap. Get him and ahmedhozic and you have a killer of cb pairing.
i play him lb 😭😭
Pavlovic is good, but lack of ball playing abilities means he struggles at the top level. Plus the engine loves dribbly passy CBs and punishes "traditional" CBs.
In my beta save with Man United I began season 2 with a 4 man cb rotation of the top 4 guys here after the Saudi clubs came and took every aging overpaid player I had for way more than they were worth… those were good times
i have some maybe expensive or potential Tanguy Nianzou, Micky Van De Ven and El Chadaille Bitshiabu maybe if on your world save
Bitshiabu is an absolute monster. On my save he is now 23 and has 17 acceleration and 19 pace - not bad for a 6'5" tall lad!
i use Jean Paul van Hecke almost in my evety save. And let me tell you. He is SUPERB. His contract runs out in the first year and usually you can get him before brighton renews his contract.
I play Brighton and can confirm he’s a beast.
picked up Souter in the championship got me 20 something goals that season purely from corners and was my second best scorer, 6'6 beast, he was okay in the poem the next season too.
Hey Clayts, I just wanted to say that many of Vitik's attributes are randomised, not just the hidden. So he can be hit or miss depending on your save
Yea the Vitiks in my saves are underwhelming
When he's good he's really good - but yes, his PA is randomised heavily.
Todibo retrained to RB>>>>>>>
back 4 of Shaw, L. Martinez, Diomande, Todibo
Diogo Costa behind them
Impenetrable.
How about the same serise, players by position but with either players under 1M or (even better) players with expiring contracts. This is one of my favourite tactics in the transfer market, usually because my teams have no money 😞
A lot of these players make a good DM, or BWM, especially the ones that are taller then 6”2! I always convert my tall CB into DM’s !
Efe Sarikaya. Don't know how much he varies from save to save but hes insane in my 2nd save, can get him for cheap from altay in turkey.
In fm 24 I feel set pieces are more important than ever making aerial abilities of cb even more important
I managed to pick up Eder Militao for £35m for my Man Utd save in season two. I was made up. He has been awesome and helped us win the CL. So glad he was unhappy at Real as that meant I could sign him for a low fee.
Josip Sutalo is amazing in this game, not as high rated as some on this list but he's an absolute beast
I've been playing Jose cordoba as LCB attributes not as good as 10 in the video but performs good in game and very cheap
lol the two first defenders you showed are my CB pairing at Fiorentina haha love them Lacroix and Vitik
I signed Guehi to replace Van Dyke in my Liverpool save. He rotates with Pascal Struijk on left side of centre defence. Good option in an English save.
People always sleep on Tanguy Nianzou and Maxence Lacroix these two as a pair are one of the most underrated ball playing defenders in the game.
Nianzou is an FM legend for all my saves since FM20, He is so elite🔥
Had Inacio on FM22 and Antonio Silva on FM 23 both at Liverpool 😂
Love how you said todibo could go to Man Utd and now signed for West Ham ⚒️😁
Maybe not for the first season but I signed Zeno Debast from Anderlech for 28M (release clause for teams playing continental tournaments) and makes a great BPD
Surprisingly a very mainstream list! Both striker videos were really not so mainstream and were great, this one is full of defenders everyone is aware of. Sorry for criticizing, we just know you can do better! We need more suggestions like Dragusin, etc. Thank you for your work anyway, great job!

Id have Zeno debast up there somewhere.
You can get the guy for less than 10 million and hes a great player.
Currently 6 year's in and my 2 top Centre backs are Guehi L, Debast R
Evan Ndicka is a beast as well
Bella-kotchap also 🔥🔥
Evan N´Dicka and Patric Pfeiffer are my go to cb´s
Defensive midfielders next please🙏, have the most difficulty in finding a bargain DM
Vitik is a beast
Yes he was good on one save of mine and one of the best in another even in midfield. Had the biggest teams come in for him
I signed Guehi on a free with Juventus. Class player.
Mine were Erakovic and Katinic , last few FMs but they both got new transfers so they don't wanna join 1st season so I go for Pavlovic or M.Ilic unless I play with someone rich
Todibo was at Barcelona you know. Was loaned several times. Maybe now is the time for a big club again.
Perr Schuurs from Torino was amazing for me in my Man U save
What skin/ player image pack do you use Clayts? Thanks
valentin gomez from velez is a great option quite cheap too
I don't use centerbacks. can you do something for my League One squad? I don't know who to sign? what skin do you use?
Diomande And Inácio are by far the best CB in the game.
Todibo is linked to spurs, ange is preparing a bid apparently
Giorgio Cittadini and Alessandro Fontanarosa, cheap and decent partnership
Do you have any videos showing how to downloading facepacks, crests or Kits?
Think the viseo is really good but I have a small problem with the prices for al players.
Fun Fact: Barcelona loaned Todibo to Benfica back in 20/21 with the option to buy for 20m. Benfica rarely played him and now looking back 20m would have been a bargain for him.
I have minervino anel ahmedozic and Alan matters as my 3 rotating centre backs, all pretty cheap and they have got me into the champions league with preston
Dan ballard becomes a monster for me
Yeah he is a really good back up for top 6 and and brilliant starter for anyone else
They all look superb
I want a video with some CM some technique playmakers
Josip Sutalo is a beast in fm24
Him and hatto looks superb for ajax.
Im from brazil, and i always plays with south america teams. Could you please make a video about south american players ?
Colwill n humpfrees from Chelsea r gr8 option for the second season purchase cus both will wanna leave
Kiliann Sildillia can be pretty awesome
fonseca is a beast if developed right
Boselli from River Plate is awesome
does it match with ipad fm24...as most of the players u recommend arent available or not shown at all
You'll need to make sure the leagues are loaded when you start the save. Bit shit for FM touch/Ipad players as I'm sure there's a five league limit. But it's what it is.
@@GraniteShaker yup we can only choose 5 leagues at the most...thanks for the information. Much appreciated
IRL JC Todibo will move to Man Utd as Ineos owns my OGC Nice and part owner of ManUtd....great player.
Height doesnt matter only jumping reach matter. How u dont know?
I do know.
The taller a player, generally the stronger the player, the braver the player, the higher their jumping reach is.
Looking at height gives you a quick overview of multiple attributes that affect aerial domination, rather than just how high they can jump.
I like theate. Cheap and effective.
Silva min fee releasable is 86m how you get 56m lol in my first year save I'm still in November only and no he's not signed new contract
You could spend 30 million as a club in the Greek second division? How sway
Levi colwill is the one 😊
Finn Jeltsch from Nürnberg
lets do top 10 CDM!!!!
Caan someone recommend a good libero cb? I wanna try a tactic
In the chapters view why is Mark Guehi listed as Mark Gay 🤣
I like Tapsoba and Hincapie
Besides English players i
almost agree with all.
English players values are over inflated and have high wages.
Unless you play in the Prem, you never sign them.
WTF bro I finished high school in Kalithea
where is best bargains ?
Standard targets imo, it’s literally the player search for defenders
And Dean Hujsen
What happened to Clayts does anyone knows?
👋 - hopefully a video this week, just intensely busy in my personal life and at work currently
@@Clayts hope you are ok. See you soon. Btw what happened to your Twitch? I don't find it anywhere.
@joaomestre4537 its still there as far as I know 😅 twitch.tv/clayts
Jaka Bijol is very good
Zeno Debast!
Sporting 💚
Does get abit boring signing the same players over and over
Don’t then?
@Clayts lol I don't.. hence why don't have "go to" players, end up with the same team over and over otherwise
Leny yoro cheap and best
Lol he was number 1
Diomande
How is it thar everyone's facepacks are working and mine arnt winds Mr up
