FeriAtsI guess there's an optimum height for central backs. Not too short so that they don't lose in the air. Not too tall so that they can time a sliding tackle properly. Something between 6 foot and 6 foot 5...

CrocoWhat about Federico Fazio of Sevilla? 6'5" and plays with an edge...and he's only 22 years old, so he's only gonna get better.
