Unstoppable pace: Top 5 fastest centre-backs in EA FC 25

With pace as their defining attribute, the fastest centre-backs in EA FC 25 ensure solid defence, crucial for anyone’s Ultimate Team

In EA Sports FC 25, pace is everything for defenders, especially centre-backs.

This ranking lists the five fastest gold-rated centre-backs, who are essential for high-pressure strategies and tracking quick attackers.

Jawad El Yamiq of Al Wehda is the first on our list, with 86 pace.

Although his overall rating is a more modest 75, his speed makes him a valuable option in certain scenarios. However, El Yamiq’s defensive stats are comparatively low at 75, making him a less versatile option but a good choice for pace-focused teams.

Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace boasts 88 pace, securing fourth place.

This 76-rated centre-back offers a budget-friendly option for Premier League-focused teams, particularly with his consistent ability to catch fast opponents. “Lacroix is known for his pace, but his other stats, like defending at 76, make him well-rounded,” says EA FC analyst team.

Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven ranks third with 88 pace.

Known for his high-speed transitions, Van de Ven is essential for those who play with an aggressive high line. His overall rating of 82, combined with 83 in defending and 81 in physicality, makes him a reliable choice for countering rapid attacks.

With 89 pace, Jayden Oosterwolde of Fenerbahce is in second place.

This Netherlands defender has a flexible position profile, able to play at both left-back and centre-back, making him a unique asset in EA FC 25. Although his 75 overall rating may not attract all players, Oosterwolde’s versatility and recovery speed make him a solid choice in defensive formations.

Jeremiah St Juste tops the list with an astonishing 93 pace.

The Sporting Lisbon defender stands out not only for his speed but also for his versatility, as he can play both at centre-back and right-back. “St Juste’s recovery pace makes him invaluable for high-line tactics,” a source close to EA FC stated. On the default card, his overall rating sits at 77, complemented by solid dribbling at 77, though his physicality is modest at 73.
