FIFA 18 La Liga TOTS Predictions: 5 defenders who could make the cut
The La Liga has given us some memorable moments over the years and the league has been known to create men out of boys through some rugged defending and no-nonsense tackles.
This season has been no different and the La Liga continues to spring some promising young defenders to add to the solid base created by some of the game's future legends.
Team of the Season (TOTS) from the Spanish top flight promises to be an exciting group of eleven players this time around and should be built around the towering presence of a well defined back line.
There has been some heroic goalkeeping and classy attacking this season but defending continues to be an art that not many can be taught. We associate La Liga most with the finesse and technical brilliance of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo but it can be argued that their respective clubs would be nowhere without the defenders doing their job ably.
As a wise man once wisely said, attack wins you matches but defence wins you titles. On that note, here are 5 players who could make the La Liga back line in the upcoming TOTS:
#5 Diego Godin (Atletico Madrid)
When you talk about rugged central defenders, one name that glides off the tongue has to be Diego Godin. The Uruguayan has consistently been one of the go-to men for Diego Simeone and his ability to read the game puts him in the category of the world's best defensive players.
Chipping in with the odd goal from time to time, Godin has become Mr. Dependable for Atletico Madrid and has been the driving force behind yet another strong season for the Madrid club.
While injuries continue to be his nemesis, the skipper could easily be one of the front-runners in La Liga TOTS. FUT enthusiasts would already know this, but this player is a must-have in your dream team.
