Of of course, not all players have enough of the 8.000 coins required to purchase Cuadrado immediately. Lazio's considerably less costly (~1.000 coins) Manuel Lazzari is a player and EAFC 26 Coins with a similar skillset but with a less dribbling power (82) and a higher velocity (92). When it comes to executing explosive counterattacks, very few players are more effective than Lazzari but he may be a an issue when it comes to defense due to his physicality rating of 65.

In addition to being a good alternative for a budget, Manuel Lazzari also happens to be the fastest Serie A right back available in FC 26. Cuadrado is second in speed in the league, and Atalanta Right back Joakim Mahle (89 rate) 3rd on this list. The young Dane usually costs about 700 coins however, considering that Lazzari is available for a couple hundred dollars more, it's not an enticing price. If you have teams that have chemistry Napoli's Giovanni Di Lorenzo (84 pace) is a decent option however, particularly at 85 coins.

Despite the numerous offers from the top European clubs Kalidou Koulibaly appears to have found Napoli the home of his dreams. As a player in Southern Italy, he's developed into one of the top center-backs of the current game. With a defending rating of 87 and a physicality score of 85. He's the main player in any insurmountable Serie A defense. The nearly identical statistics are a testimony to the fact that they're both. If you have 20.000 coins to spend on an asymmetrical center-back team will be unable to be able to find a better choice than the Slovak and Senegalese duo.

Manolas is a player in the same team as Koulibaly in Napoli however, despite his 85-rated defensive capabilities and a speed rating of 81. Manolas' Greek defensive player's OVR rating is significantly reduced due to his shooting score of 26 and a passing rating of 44. For a pure defensive option the player is plenty to be considered, particularly at a cost that is 1.100 coins. When paired together with Francesco Acerbi whose defensive stats extend into the 80s, they'll make an impressive, though somewhat static duo at just 2.000 coins.

The Milan-based Fikayo Tomori (82 rate) has the highest speed of any Serie A center back in FC 26 and can typically be acquired for just small amount over 1.000 coins. There's three of them for second spot it's Kalidou Koulibaly, Kostas Manolas along with Roma's Ibanez all sporting the 81-speed mark. Anyone concerned about their budget should consider pairing the former with Tomori due to his $800 price cost, while those looking for more chemistry might want to choose both Napoli center backs which will cost players about 16.000 coins.

Chris Smalling and Gianluca Mancini the AS Roma's defensive duo have consistently produced impressive performances during the 2021/22 season, which is Serie A, and were in large part responsible for AS Roma's UEFA Europa Conference League win this season. For defensively-minded players seeking an elite pair must take a look at Jose Mourinho's top CBs. They are available on the market for 3.000 coins for both players however, that cost will likely to rise during FC 26.

It is said that the French right-sided defender Theo Hernandez is one of the most expensive fullbacks in Serie A, and for the right reason. His 93-rating for pace and 82-rated physicality indicate that he's as efficient in his forward play as he is in making sure that wingers from the opposition with cheap FC 26 Coins aren't given a chance to score. It's priced at 10.500 coins, though, Hernandez's contract, unfortunately, is more expensive than the budgets of a lot of young FUT athletes.
