The reliance on pace and sprint speed for CBs has been reduced in the current patch. A great example is Virgil Van Dijk, who is certainly not among the fastest defenders in the game. Yet, he’s by far the best defensive player you can use in any game mode.

That said, having extra pace is always beneficial since certain attackers boast a lot of pace. When choosing defenders, make sure to focus on other key stats like defending, position, and more. Having an overall balance is key to performance.
