First of all, let me offer you FIFA 20 gamers a question, do you guys think that you need for speed at the back? If your answer is positive, then you really should grab these FIFA 20 fastest Center-Backs (usually abbreviated as CBs). You know, they say if you want to compete online, then you'd better have the FIFA 20 fastest Center-Backs (usually abbreviated as CBs), but sadly, this is also the truth. With gameplay in FIFA 20 noticeably much slower than the previous editions, therefore, recovery time is usually critical when it comes to chasing a striker down or moving across to cut out a through ball. So it's much easier to understand that many gamers consider defensive pace to be a necessity. For the next several paragraphs, we will introduce the FIFA 20 fastest Center-Backs (CBs) based on their standard Ultimate Team cards, followed by a list of the quickest CB icons to complete. And certainly, all of the FIFA 20 fastest CBs also can be picked up in Career Mode, too if you are searching for a burst of speed in your backline. Please note: All the Center-Backs (CBs) are listed in alphabetical order: The very first one: Name: Adedeji Oshilaja | Club: Charlton Athletic | Speed: 83 Pace | Rating: 67 Overall First of all, let's take a look at him and get a general impression: As of in the middle of October, Oshilaja had only made four league starts for Charlton this season, yet in FIFA 20 game, you should know that he is a tidy silver pick-up, now he is available on the cheap at 500 FIFA 20 coins. His Strength of 84 and 76 stamina make him a must-buy if you are creating an all silver squad just for fun. The second one: Name: Charles Dunne | Club: Motherwell | Speed: 83 Pace | Rating: 65 Overall First of all, let's take a look at him and get a general impression: Another pretty rare silver card with reasonable stats despite a lowly overall rating of 65. As you can see that Dunne comes with 76 strength and 80 jumping, and he is 6ft 2in tall, all of these stats make him do a job on the right side of a back three, well, at least while you are building towards a top-tier team. Nab him only for 400 FIFA 20 coins. The third one: Name: Costa Nhamoinesu | Club: Sparta Prague | Speed: 82 Pace | Rating: 72 Overall First of all, let's take a look at him and get a general impression: Well, first of all, let me ask you a question, which is, try saying that surname with your mouth full of Fruit Pastilles. From Sparta Prague club Zimbabwean defender plays more like a center-back/full-back hybrid than a true CB (center-back), with a pretty much reasonable (for a silver card) crossing rating of 66, but no exceptional defensive stats. You need to keep him in a back three if you really want to use him. The fourth one: Name: Georgiy Dzhikiya | Club: Spartak Moscow | Speed: 82 Pace | Rating: 78 Overall First of all, let's take a look at him and get a general impression: Now, with the full Russian League exclusive to PES (Pro Evolution Soccer) 2020, it's pretty hard to create a quality side around Dzhikiya. However, he is still a cheap gold choice to add squad depth, with 82 defensive awareness, 85 sliding tackle and 86 strength. Now you can purchase him now only for 750 coins, or just get him at discard value on open bid. The fifth one: Name: Gustavo Velazquez | Club: FC Juarez | Speed: 82 Pace | Rating: 68 Overall First of all, let's take a look at him and get a general impression: Continuing a theme, I have to admit that Gustavo Velazquez is a rare silver card, available for only 300 FIFA 20 coins, and he also packs a decent pace rating, but he can not be trusted in a traditional CB pairing due to his moderate height (5ft 11in), stamina (60) and strength (74). Still, he is pretty worth picking up as a future investment. If and when a Liga Bancomer MX set of squad building challenge drops, then his price will skyrocket into four figures. The sixth one: Name: Ike Opara | Club: Minnesota United | Speed: 84 Pace | Rating: 74 Overall First of all, let's take a look at him and get a general impression: He is always a popular choice for FUT players over the past several years, given that he has a decent height (6ft 2in) and physical stats (strength 85, jumping 90) to go with his rapid feet. Don't forget that he is also affordable. Ike Opara's rare silver card can be grabbed for 1000 coins. A solid, affordable super sub. The seventh one: Name: Jeremiah St Juste | Club: FSV Mainz | Speed: 82 Pace | Rating: 74 Overall First of all, let's take a look at him and get a general impression: If you have any doubt about how high pace is valued as a FIFA 20 commodity, then how about considering the price of St Juste’s Halloween card: 125,000 FIFA 20 coins, with an overall rating of 84. Yet its speed rating (84) is only two higher than that found on his rare silver-based card (82), which can be bought for a far more palatable 5K. The eighth one: Name: Jinzhao Chu | Club: Tianjin Quanjian | Speed: 82 Pace | Rating: 59 Overall First of all, let's take a look at him and get a general impression: Between Chu, Ominami and Wan Gyu Gwon you now have a solid base on which to create an all-East-Asian bronze side, therefore, in fact, it's a shame that there are no longer bronze-specific tournaments in which to enter them. The Chinese stopper, a pretty rare bronze, will set you back at least 650 coins. The ninth one: Name: Kostas Manolas | Club: Napoli | Speed: 82 Pace | Rating: 85 Overall First of all, let's take a look at him and get a general impression: If you have already followed our FIFA 20 coins guide and that means you should have 20,000 big ones to drop on Napoli’s Greek god of defending by now, and I can assure you that he will not let you down. As well as being beautifully light-footed he also owns 86 interceptions, 86 jumping, 87 standing tackle, and 89 standing tackle. Just as imperious as Poseidon, but of course, without the attached water danger. The tenth one: Name: Raphael Varane | Club: Real Madrid | Speed: 83 Pace | Rating: 85 Overall First of all, let's take a look at him and get a general impression: Now if you find Opara is affordable, then Varane is anything but - then again, this is not a card you are snapping up in order to see out the final 20 minutes of a close game. Varane costs in the region of 210,000 coins, and boasts 87 defensive awareness and 86 strength alongside his 83 pace. All in all, in a word: ELITE. The eleventh one: Name: Takuma Ominami | Club: Jubilo Iwata | Speed: 83 Pace | Rating: 59 Overall First of all, let's take a look at him and get a general impression: Now we are back to bronzes here, and the fastest center-back in the Japanese League can be snaffled for just 200 coins, although there is a reason he's so cheap. Aside from sprint speed, Ominami still has only one attribute rated above 80 and that is his jumping (rated: 88). And you have to wince at his positioning rating. It's just 22! Last but not least, the twelfth one: Name: Wan Gyu Gwon | Club: Sangju Sangmu | Speed: 85 Pace | Rating: 63 Overall First of all, let's take a look at him and get a general impression: The fastest center-back player in Ultimate Team is a one that you have never heard of. The 6 feet tall Wan will set you back just need 200 coins, but, unfortunately, there the good news ends. With ratings of 55 heading accuracy and 60 defensive awareness, he is a liability in all areas other than pace. My gosh. Here Are The Fastest CB (Center-Back) Icons In FIFA 20 Ultimate Team: Listed In Alphabetical Order: Carlos Alberto | Nationality: Brazil | Speed: 82 Pace | Rating: 87 Overall Fabio Cannavaro | Nationality: Italy | Speed: 82 Pace | Rating: 87 Overall Lothar Matthaus | Nationality: Germany | Speed: 82 Pace | Rating: 88 Overall Marcel Desailly | Nationality: France | Speed: 84 Pace | Rating: 87 Overall Paolo Maldini | Nationality: Italy | Speed: 82 Pace | Rating: 92 Overall Rio Ferdinand | Nationality: England | Speed: 84 Pace | Rating: 85 Overall Sol Campbell | Nationality: England | Speed: 84 Pace | Rating: 85 Overall
