EA Sports have been unveiling player stats ahead of the release of Fifa 21 on 6 October.

For several editions now, pace has been one of the more vital Fifa statistics, whether you’re looking for a centre back who can tame the likes of Kylian Mbappe or you’re after a winger who can turn defence into attack in a few strides.

To save you from trawling through the game’s player finder we’ve rounded up the stars with the quickest turn of pace.

Most Popular

    Where there are multiple players with the same Pace stat (for instance, there are more players ranked at 94 than we could fit on this list) we’ve ranked them in order of their overall stat first. 

    We’ve also left out the overpowered and ludicrously pricey Icon cards.

    Kylian Mbappe (Paris St-Germain) PACE 96

    For the second game in-a-row Kylian Mbappe has been named the joint-fastest player in FIFA. With his card bumped up to 90 overall, the PSG superstar will be a force to be reckoned with.

    Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich) PACE 96

    Bayern Munich’s Canaidan full-back enjoyed a stunning breakout year, playing a major part in his club’s Champions League triumph. Expect his card to only improve in the traditional career mode.

    Adama Traore (Wolves) PACE 96

    Renowned for his combination of strength and pace Adama Traore was arguably the most enjoyable player to watch in the Premier League last season. The Spaniard’s pace is the joint highest in the league this season. 

    Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid) PACE 95

    A standout in Real Madrid’s La Liga winning side, Vinicius Junior is rewarded with 95 Pace. This combined with five-star skills should make him an outstanding teammate or formidable opponent.

    Daniel James (Manchester United) PACE 95

    His debut season at Old Trafford was underwhelming but the Welshman did show flashes of excitement outpacing opposition defenders with ease. Expect his card to progress nicely as you rack up career mode seasons. 

    Kensuke Nagai (FC Tokyo) PACE 95

    An unknown to European football followers, Kensuke Nagai is blessed with blistering pace. Rated 70 he could be a welcome addition to a Championship side.

    Anibal Chala (Dijon) PACE 95

    If a winger gets the better of Ecuadorian Anibal Chala it won’t be because of his pace. His rating of 95 is complemented with 64 defending and 66 physical.

    Sadio Mane (Liverpool) PACE 94

    The pick of Liverpool’s championship winning side, Sadio Mane bewildered defences with his lightning turn of pace. His 90-rated card also boasts 90 dribbling.

    Achraf Hakimi (Inter Milan) PACE 94

    An unlikely source of goals and assists for Borussia Dortmund last season Moroccan Achraf Hakimi has swapped the Rhineland for Italy’s glamorous north. Expect him to play a key part in Serie A squad builders.

    Rafa (Benfica) PACE 94
