Who is the best attacking defender?
I would have to say maicon. He can get up there and score goals but is still a solid defensive player. He plays for brazil and has scored and set up many goals for them, as well as getting back and playing defence. Vermaelen is also a very good attacking defender with a great scoring record. Glen johnson should probably be playing midfield though. He is a pretty bad defender but a great scorer/assister

Sorry, attcking is supposed to be attacking. Stupid typos

I have to agree. Even as a AC Milan fan, Maicon is a star. Great speed, strength, can defend and has a good goal return too. He is the complete package.

Its just a shame he plays for inter

I also rate Evra very highly

Alves, Maicon and Evra are the three defenders who are the best attacking wingers.
These 3 defenders play all three as a midfielder. Very often they help their team in offensive phases. And they defend very well too.
3 defenders that all coaches would have.

I would also agree with maicon. He's a good guy out there

Ashley cole has to be up there

Lucio

Forget wing backs for a second. I like vermaleans shots. They always seem to go in. And terry and ferdialands headers are always important.

And oh I like how pique likes to start a break in counter attack

I should say terry ! He will be best attacking defenders in world, he was very serious while playing a game! You can undestand by seeing last world cup fantastic saving in grouop match

For me its patrice evra, and in the past roberto carlos

Dani Alves

Dani Alves, Ashley Cole, Maicon, Patrice Evra, Glen Johnson, Carlos, Terry (on corners), Vermaelen, Carlos lol, there is lots and lots, I think most defenders have scored from headers, that is where they are mainly a goal threat!

For me, roberto carlos the best!

Roberto carlos was good, I think vidic does well though, he scores a few every season. Wouldnt say he is the best

John Terry scores a lots of goals and has a sweet shot
Eboue gets down threw wings well as well....

Other than them, Ashly cole, Huth, Parnaby, Bramble, Risse, Carlos, M Richards are pretty good.
Dani Alves in top form lately.
