Pace might not be a CB (center backs)’s greatest strength inEA FC 25, but a defender with speed is a real asset.

The primary skill of a central defender is to add a sheet of protection to your goal and ensure that your goalkeeper doesn’t need to experience a busy time between the sticks. While CBs tend to be slower due to their physical builds, some footballers are deceptively quick. These units can be some exciting additions, especially in modes like Ultimate Team, where they might become part of your starter squads.

He has terrific speed and defensive qualities. Similarly, St. Juste, Oosterwelde, and Lacroix can be good fits for many starter squads.
