Starting with his pace, Reece James is quick enough for a fullback, though not a pure speed demon. He won’t always outrun the fastest wingers in a straight sprint, but his acceleration, positioning, and defensive awareness compensate well.

His playmaking ability is one of his standout traits. Unlike many right-backs who feel limited on the ball, Reece James is comfortable passing under pressure and progressing play from the flanks.

Reactions are another major strength. He responds quickly to loose balls, sudden directional changes from wingers, and unpredictable situations inside the box.

Defensively, Reece James is elite. His tackling feels clean and well-timed, and he rarely overcommits or gets dragged out of position.

Physicality is where he truly separates himself from most RBs. He is strong in shoulder challenges, wins physical duels comfortably, and can push attackers off the ball with ease.

His high/high work rates make him constantly involved throughout the match.
