Who is the tallest player on FIFA 20?

• Being tall can be a huge benefit for goalkeepers, centre-backs and strikers in football, giving them an edge over their opposition. In FIFA 20, height is also important with taller players more likely to win headers and reach for saves.

Ipswich Town goalkeeper Tomas Holy is the tallest player in FIFA 20, coming in at 6 ft 9 in or 2.05m. The Czech stopper kept five consecutive clean sheets at the start of the 2019-20 season to set a new league record for Ipswich.

Holy, surprisingly, is not the world's tallest goalkeeper, as Simon Bloch Jorgensen is an inch and a half taller than him, but is not in FIFA 20 as he plays for sixth-tier side Dulwich Hamlet in the National League South.

The majority of the tallest players in FIFA 20 are goalkeepers, but the second-tallest player in the game is actually a centre-back, Auxerre and Mauritania defender Abdoul Ba, who is 6 ft 8 in in the game.

Former Monaco and Everton striker Lacina Traore is the tallest forward in FIFA 20, also measuring 6 ft 8 in. Wingers are not known for their height and thus there is no player whose primary position is on the wing who measures 6 ft 6 in or taller. The tallest winger in FIFA 20 is Chambly's Lassana Doucoure at 6 ft 5 in, while former Newcastle and current Nottingham Forest wideman Sammy Ameobi comes in at 6 ft 4 in.

The tallest player from a major club in FIFA 20 is Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. The Belgium international is 6 ft 6 in. The Premier League's tallest players are also goalkeepers - Burnley's Nick Pope and Aston Villa's Lovre Kalinic both come in at 6 ft 7 in tall.
