Fastest Center Backs in FC 27

While a lot of players will focus on having fast attacking players in EA Sports FC 27, it’s equally as important that you have fast defensive players, too. This will allow them to catch up to attacking players to make a tackle if the opponent has played a through ball or they’ve initially beaten your defender with a skill move. The good news is, there are quite a few center backs that combine pace with physical strength. These can be a huge boon to your defense, especially in Ultimate Team where the gameplay typically feels that little bit more fast-paced. In this guide, I’ve outlined the top 25 fastest center backs in EA FC 27 so you can add them to your Ultimate Team or Career mode.
