Milan's Fikayo Tomori (82 pace) is the fastest Serie A center back in FC 25 Coins and can typically be purchased for just a little over 1.000 coins. There's actually a three-way tie when it comes to second place, however, with Kalidou Koulibaly, Kostas Manolas, and Roma's Ibanez all sitting on 81 pace. Those worried about the budget should pair the latter with Tomori due to his 800 coin price tag, while anyone seeking chemistry will probably want to opt for the two Napoli center backs instead, who together will set players back around 16.000 coins.
Chris Smalling and Gianluca Mancini, AS Roma's defensive pairing, have consistently put on solid performances in the 2021/22 season in Serie A, and were largely responsible for the club's UEFA Europa Conference League win this year. Defensively-minded players looking for a high-strength pairing should look no further than Jose Mourinho's first-choice CBs. They can be bought at the marketplace for a mere 3.000 coins for both players, but that price is likely to shoot up in FC 25.
The French left-wing-back Theo Hernandez is one of the most expensive full-backs in Serie A, and for a good reason. His 93 pace rating and 82-rated physicality mean that he is just as good going forward as he is at making sure opposition wingers don't get a good chance on goal. Priced at around 10.500 coins, though, Hernandez's card, unfortunately, exceeds the budgets of many new FC 25 Ultimate Team players.
Alex Sandro used to be one of the key players in Juventus, and while he's still held in high regard in the club, he's fallen down the pecking order at the Old Lady due to an influx of younger defensive talent. He's a solid budget option for cheap FIFA 25 Coins Ultimate Team players though, with 81-rated pace and other crucial stats right under the 80-point threshold. For 1.000 coins, he should be a no-brainer for all those looking to save up on defenders.
