Think about your Central Defenders as a partnership. Who have been great partnerships over the years?
- Mark Lawrenson & Alan Hansen (Liverpool, 1980s)
- Franco Baresi & Paolo Maldini (AC Milan, Late 80s/Early 90s)
- Steve Bruce & Gary Pallister (Manchester United, 1990s)
- John Terry & Ricardo Carvalho (Chelsea, 2000s)
- Nemanja Vidic & Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United, circa 2008-2012)...
...Always a proper hard man - usually well over 6'0" - alongside a Ball Playing Defender who can bring the ball out from the back and play accurate passes into midfield or out to the flanks.
I don't know all of the players on your list, but in terms of forming a strong partnership in which the two players complement each other in the manner I have described, I'd expect good things from Zouma/Tah/Varane as the tough guy & Stones/Romagnoli as the BPD - but I'm surprised by how few of these players I know, off the top of my head.
I like to have two players per position in my squad. At Centre Back, I try to recruit 1 x Central Defender, 1 x Limited Defender and 1 x Ball Playing Defender and then the best young player I can find in any of those three roles to make the 4th. Then I play them in their preferred positions, roles and duties whenever I start them or bring them on during a match - your overall team tactics can handle the odd tweak here-and-there to get a player into his best situation. The combination works better still if one of those players is a Stopper and the other can operate with the Defend or Cover instruction - and, again, better still if there is a DM just in front of them, in his preferred role. Having one of them as a natural left footer playing on the left of the two is Football Management Nirvana!
