FIFA 23 fastest players: Strikers, wingers, midfielders & defenders

FIFA 23, like many entries before it, can find its gameplay dominated by pace. Having the quickest players across the pitch is essential for the likes of FUT Champions and Division Rivals. Our guide will show you the fastest strikers, wingers, midfielders, and defenders in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.

Having the fastest players in FIFA 23 won’t guarantee you anything as you can have a 70-pace striker that can bury shots straight into the top corner for fun. Whereas a defender who’s not the fastest makes up for their speed with presence, physicality, and unbelievable intelligence and awareness on the pitch.

Pace was overhauled in FIFA 23, thanks to the incorporation of Lengthy, Controlled, and Explosive acceleration types. In addition to these new traits, a player’s base speed stats are still a great indicator of how speedy they are.

Without further ado, here is our complete guide to the fastest players in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, as well as their acceleration type.
