In EA Sports FC 25, pace matters, especially for centre-backs. If you're playing a high line, your defenders need to be quick to track back and clear the ball. We've rounded up the nine fastest gold centre-backs in the game, based on their overall pace ratings. Check out who made the list!

For starters, the Dutch are dominating the speed charts. Jeremiah St Juste of Sporting Lisbon takes the top spot with an impressive 93 pace. He can play at right-back too, making him an exciting option for versatile squads. Jayden Oosterwolde of Fenerbahce comes in second with 89 pace, proving that the Netherlands is turning out speedy defenders.

Next up, we have two players tied at 88 pace: Micky van de Ven of Tottenham and Maxence Lacroix of Crystal Palace. Van de Ven has transformed Tottenham's defence with his speed and aggression, while Lacroix is a budget-friendly option for those looking to boost their backline without breaking the bank.

Coming in hot at 86 pace is Jawad El Yamiq of Al Wehda. Despite his speed, he might not be the best choice due to his lower defensive stats. Eder Militao of Real Madrid also has 85 pace, along with impressive overall stats, but he comes at a higher cost.

Saul Coco of Torino and Roger Ibanez of Al Ahli round out the list with 85 pace each. Coco may not have the most striking stats, but Ibanez could be a promising budget pick.
