One of the biggest issues that has plagued FIFA Ultimate Team is the ‘fullback meta’ and the pacing issues with centre backs in the game.
A number of players in FUT would use fullbacks in the CB position in the game, as an LB, LWB, RB or RWB is far more likely to have a decent amount of pace during play.
Contrast this to the likes of Per Mertesacker, who previously had stats of around 30-40 pace, and the standard CBs in the game were getting obliterated by the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gervinho in previous iterations of the game.
Although using a fullback in the centre back position slightly affects chemistry, the benefit far outweighs the risk for players on FUT currently.
Pace is such a hugely important issue in the FIFA meta, and gamers are constantly looking at ways to get ahead of the pack when it comes to competitive play.
This has led a number of fans to ask if EA are ‘fixing’ the fullback meta this season and giving CB players a better Pace rating to be worth putting at the heart of their defence.
