In FIFA 20 fast center backs are particularly popular among many players. We show you the fastest center backs in FUT 20.
How important are fast center backs? In FIFA 20, fast center backs are in high demand, especially in Ultimate Team. After all, you need defenders who can keep up with the top-speed strikers.
The problem, however, is that particularly fast defenders are not exactly cheap. Often many coins must be paid for them. We have looked at the fastest center back cards in FUT and will tell you how good they are.
Kyle Walker
This is what makes Walker special: Unlike the fastest players in general, center backs cannot throw around 99 values in pace. But even Walker’s TOTW Moments card with 93 speed points is extremely fast. His acceleration is 88 and his speed is 96, placing him at the top of the list of the fastest center backs in FUT 20.
However, this card is not cheap. It currently costs you 415,000 coins (PS4). If you are playing a Premier League team, this Walker card should be a strong addition. Because his defensive, physical, and dribbling stats are also impressive.
Ike Opara
This is what makes Opara special: If you’re playing an MLS team or can link US players, you should take a closer look at this card from Opara. It is lightning fast and has outstanding defensive stats.
Moreover, his height of 1.88m is a big advantage, as are his truly incredible physical stats (92), particularly strength (95) and jumping (99).
Virgil Van Dijk
This is what makes Van Dijk special: In FUT 20, the TOTY card from Van Dijk will likely remain the absolute top card in defense until the end of the game. This is also reflected in the current price (3,800,000 coins on PS4). With 88 pace, it is only ranked 3rd among all center backs, but that is still super fast.
But not only in speed is TOTY Van Dijk strong, he is also among the best in almost all other areas. Especially in defense (99) and physical (98), no other defender can keep up.
Fikayo Tomori
This is what makes Tomori special: The Future Stars card from Tomori is a really strong CB card in FUT 20, which actually has everything one would expect from a good center back. It is super fast with 84 acceleration and 91 sprint speed, has extremely strong defensive stats and can also convince with strong dribbling and physical stats.
The only downside of this card is the high price. It is currently available for 550,000 coins (PS4), which is probably too many coins for many players to spend on a defender. Often, the money is invested in the attack instead.
Paolo Maldini
This is what makes Maldini special: Maldini is the only icon card on our list of the fastest center backs in FUT 20, and this card is really impressive. It is the Prime Icon Moments card, which is likely to be among the best defenders in the game. With 88 pace, it is very fast and can especially convince with defensive stats (99).
The current price of 4,900,000 coins (PS4) is something that very few players can afford.
Lukas Klostermann
This is what makes Klostermann special: Klostermann’s Inform card is the only bargain on this list. With 40,000 coins (PS4), almost any FUT player can afford this fast center back for their team.
But unfortunately, this card lacks some important stats besides its top speed. Both physical and defensive stats leave something to be desired. However, especially FUT beginners can’t go wrong with this card, as it is solid in any case.
Denis Zakaria
This is what makes Zakaria special: The Shapeshifters card from Zakaria is a top card that you unfortunately can no longer get. The SBC is no longer available. However, if you completed it, you have a top Bundesliga center back who is incredibly fast.
But besides speed, his dribbling stats as well as his defensive and especially physical stats are at a top level. He definitely counts among the best Bundesliga defenders. And who knows, maybe the SBC will come back soon. It wouldn’t be really unusual.
Do you need strong dribblers for your team alongside fast defenders? Then perhaps you will find something in the list of strongest dribblers in Ultimate Team.
