FIFA 20: 10 Legends Who Need To Be Added To Ultimate Team

10. Cafu

For the past several years, Ultimate Team has continued to feature plentiful Brazilian icons. The thing is, while those players have bagged goals, beaten men, and bossed midfields, there seems to be a major gap when it comes to legendary Brazil defenders. Step forward, Cafu.

Not only is former right-back Cafu viewed as one of the greatest defenders in history, but this World Cup winning captain is also one of those players whose style and approach fits the modern game perfectly. As in, Cafu’s limitless running, natural athleticism, rapid speed, and technical prowess mark him out as somebody who would seamlessly fit into any team today – or any Ultimate Team, for that matter.

When it comes to iconic full-backs, FIFA has been lacking a little in recent years. You might be able to pick up a Paolo Maldini or a Javier Zanetti, but there’s still a certain spark and energy missing from those players.

And where those players are lacking, former Roma and AC Milan stalwart Cafu could be just the tonic.
