CDM really isn't about being slow or fast, it's all about positioning. At prime Barca, Busquets looked godlike in terms of press resistance and playing line breaking passes and his positioning was good enough to avoid counters. Rodri, while able to make decent passes, sometimes looses the ball easily and his back pass also makes me skip a beat as he doesn't put enough weight in them and are intercepted from time to time.

Ferna is average paced but is rarely on the back side of a counter because he knows when to be where and is able to work the 'dark side' and slow the game down with a foul when required. Rodri will definitely improve, but we need a backup in that position to challenge him, may it be Lavia/ Locatelli/ Bellingham etc.

I don't know, because it was a long time ago and maybe I remember wrongly, but I remember Ferna was quite fast.
