In EA FC 25 there is finally a defender who can also play strong passes and he only costs 20,000 coins

In EA FC 25, the new Centurions event has produced a strong defensive player. The card, which is actually a right-back, can particularly impress offensively with his unique skills and can even outshine many of his midfield colleagues with his passes. At just 20,000 coins, it’s also a real bargain.

What kind of defender is this? Spanish right-back Jesús Navas’ Centurions card from Sevilla FC (LaLiga EA Sports) has received a strong upgrade to his original Gold card. The improvements are as follows:

Above all, the improved physique (+20) stands out when it comes to stat boosts. With his speed, explosive acceleration and the “Frenzy” playstyle, he has the best prerequisites to execute the new sprint boost in FC 25.

But the passing playstyles are more important for the current meta in FC 25. Centurion’s Jesús Navas has 3 such PlayStyles: “Interface Pass”, “Further Pass” and “Hard Pass”. This combination of skills is actually unique for a right-back in FC 25.

With Wide Pass, Jesús Navas even has one of the 6 best play styles in FC 25.

Jesus Navas: Better passing game than many midfielders

This is why Jesús Navas’ passes are so strong: After the upgrade, the Spaniard’s pure pass values ​​read very well. Aside from his free-kick accuracy, his stats are all over 80, and his crossing score is even 91.

What is more important, however, is that Jesús Navas can implement these values ​​perfectly with his passing playstyles. According to Futbin’s database, only 10 other players in FC 25 have the same combination of passing playstyles in FC 25, most of them usually play in midfield.

Long pass to build up the game from the defense

His long, high interface passes with L1+Triangle/ LT+Y are executed with improved precision. His cross changes with square/X are also much sharper and more precise.

You can use these characteristics to highlight your attacking midfielders or strikers with a ball over the opponent’s defensive line. You can also get out of tight situations by hitting a precise, long ball to the other side of the field.

Interface pass to create scoring opportunities with a flat pass

The interface pass with R1+X/RB+A is perfect for passing to your offensive players when they have little space, for example in or near the opponent’s penalty area, where many defenders are waiting for you.

The quick, sharp interface pass gives you the decisive time advantage to surprise the opponent.

Hard pass to create scoring chances with a high ball

Hard Pass is ideally tailored to Jesús Navas’ player role++. As an attacking wing-back, he is keen to get through to the wings. If the Spaniard is on the wing near the opponent’s penalty area, you should feed your strikers a cross from the defender.

Coupled with his strong crosses, his high crosses come into the penalty area with a lot of spin, power and precision. His crosses are therefore difficult for the opposing defenders to defend and are a perfect opportunity for your strikers to score a header or volley goal.

This is how you add Centurions Jesús Navas to your team: You should let Jesús Navas play in the role++ as an attacking winger according to his offensive strengths. It’s best to protect yourself on the left side of defense with a player with the role of “full-back”.

Due to his playing strength, you should provide him with another strong passer on the right side of midfield. Then you can combine into the opponent’s penalty area to create a scoring opportunity with a flat or high pass.
