#6 Jan Vertongen | 87 | CB | Tottenham | Belgium
The Belgian defender's impressive display's under Pochettino made him an integral part of the Spurs lineup. The same could be said about Vertonghen in FIFA 19; the Belgian centre-back is a formidable defender, and his 70+ ratings for dribbling and passing make him equally good to build those quick counterattacks. His high attacking and defensive work rates are an added bonus.

#5 Diego Godin | 90 | CB | Atletico Madrid | Uruguay
Diego Godin's excellent performances for Atletico Madrid during the 2017/18 LaLiga and for Uruguay in the 2018 FIFA World Cup earned him ratings boost in FIFA 19. Godin is one of the highest-rated defenders in the game and possesses 85+ stats for both physical and defending, making it extremely hard for strikers to overpower him to create goalscoring chances.
