FIFA 20 Ultimate Team is in full swing as fans await the FUTMAS and Team of the Year promotions.

With a number of cards already released through multiple promotions, a defensive meta has been more or less set in stone until more cards get released throughout the year.

Here are the seven best non-Icon center backs in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team before FUTMAS.

7 Best Center Backs in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team Ahead of FUTMAS

7. Lucas Hernandez - 84 Gold - Bayern Munich

Lucas Hernandez is the best option at center back for Bundesliga teams. His price has come down drastically and being French allows him to link to other leagues easily. Unfortunately, Ones to Watch owners will have to wait for him to come back from injury before potentially receiving an upgrade.

6. Sergio Ramos - 89 Gold - Real Madrid

Sergio Ramos is always in contention for being one of the best center backs in the game. His gold card has slipped down a bit in terms of best available, but still a solid option nonetheless.

5. Raphael Varane - 85 Gold - Real Madrid

Following his Real Madrid compatriot, Varane remains of the most expensive, yet reliable options at CB for La Liga/French teams.

4. Clement Lenglet - 85 Gold - Barcelona

If anyone thought Lenglet would be ahead of Ramos and Varane in FIFA 20 before the game released, they'd be lying. He's an absolute tank and provides a hard link to one of the best goalkeepers in the game in Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.

3. Gerard Pique - 90 Scream - Barcelona

EA Sports cemented the La Liga center back meta when it released Ultimate Scream Gerard Pique. He's got the stats of a Team of the Year defender and was relatively cheap to complete as an SBC. If you missed out on this card, unlucky pal.

2. Virgil Van Dijk - 90 Gold - Liverpool

Virgil Van Dijk is pretty much a lock for Team of the Year, but there's something different about his card this year. Something about his animations just make him almost impossible to dribble past... just like in real life.

1. Eder Militao - 84 UEFA RTTF - Real Madrid

Eder Militao was a fan favorite in FIFA 19 in the Liga NOS. After announcing a move to Real Madrid, he was on shortlists for many building squads ahead of time. EA Sports went on to release a UEFA Champions League Road to the Final card which will upgrade as Real Madrid progresses through the UCL. Oh, and he's by far the best non-Icon defender in the game.
