This involves aggressive tackling, strategic positioning to block passing lanes, and anticipating opponent movements. If you enjoy disrupting enemy plays, making crucial interceptions, and protecting your goal, the Defender archetype suits you. Focus on perfecting your 'Tackle' timing, learning 'Air Tackles' to intercept aerial passes, and understanding when to commit to a tackle versus when to hold back.
