Who doesn't love an injection of pace? Quite often pace is key in FIFA 23, and acquiring the fastest players for your Ultimate Team or career mode team is key. Moreso in online modes like FUT, the FIFA 23 fastest players will have a huge impact on your squad, especially in attack and defence, while you have more technical midfielders to pull the strings. So, here are the FIFA 23 fastest players, including wingers, strikers, and defenders.

FIFA 23 Fastest Players

The list of the fastest FIFA 23 players is based on Ultimate Team rankings, yet we've left off Icons, Heroes, and other special cards that will be available at launch. Instead, we're looking at base value, and there are plenty of speed demons knocking around this year.

Player	Position	Pace
Mbappe	ST	97
Adama Traore	RW	96
Dan James	RM	95
Vinicius Jr	LW	95
Sheraldo Becker	ST	95
Gerrit Holtmann	LW	94
Alphonso Davies	LB	94
Inaki Williams	ST	94
Sarr	RM	94
Frimpong	RB	94
Sebastian Villa	LW	94
Alex Bangura	LB	94
Kevin Schade	RM	94

If you're studying this list to build your Ultimate Team, Mbappe might be slightly over your budget by a mere million coins, so you might be best looking towards the premier league for attackers with Adama Traore or Dan James. Bundesliga is a gold mine for defenders too, with Davies and Frimpong on either full-back, while you can even get St. Juste at CB with 93 pace.

FIFA 23 Fastest Wingers

This is probably the real reason you are here. We all love pacey wingers. So, if you're looking for someone to slot in out wide with insanely fast feet, you'll be happy to see this selection of the fastest FIFA 23 wingers.

Player	Position	Pace	Rating
Adama Traore	RW	96	79
Vinicius Jr	LW	95	86
Dan James	RM	95	77
Holtmann	LW	94	74
Sebastian Villa	LW	94	77
Sarr	LM	94	77
Kevin Schade	RM	94	70
Antony	RW	93	82
Dembele	RW	93	83
Lozano	RW	93	81
Diaby	RM	93	84
Nkoudou	LM	93	75
Sulemana	RM	93	75

There are many more incredibly pacey players on the flanks too. Koman and Bailey are both sat at 92 pace, while Luiz Diaz, Chiesa, Zaha, Leao, Raphinha, and Rafa can all be picked up with 91 pace.

FIFA 23 Fastest Strikers

Who knows what the meta will unfold to be like this year, maybe the two-up-top combination will come back into play and you'll need at least one whippet to get in behind and stretch defences. the fastest FIFA 23 strikers are:

Player	Pace	Rating
Mbappe	97	91
Becker	95	76
Inaki Williams	94	81
Noah Okafor	93	75
Acheampong	93	76
Elliott List	93	64
Openda	93	75
Adeyemi	93	75
Tosin	93	69
Moussa Kane	92	71
Yeboah	92	70

Other gold choices for your Ultimate Team could consist of Werner (90), Osimhen (90), Deulofeu (90), Daka (90), and Simon (90). If you wanted to dip into the 89s, Haaland, Nune, Muriel, and Marega are all available.

FIFA 23 Fastest Defenders

So far we've looked at players with the ability to beat players, but what about the fastest FIFA 23 defenders who will counteract any sweaty wingers?

Player	Position	Pace	Rating
Davies	LB	94	84
Frimpong	RB	94	80
Bangura	LB	94	69
Theo Hernandez	LB	93	85
St. Juste	CB	93	76
Osayi-Samuel	RB	93	74
Sanusi	LB	93	76
Ferland Mendy	LB	92	83
Hakimi	RB	92	84
Lazzari	RB	92	79
Bah	RB	92	78
Sanchez	RB	92	76

There are many more solid Full-Backs who are blessed with pace too. Kyle Walker, Spinazzola, and Fredericks are gold players with 91 speed, while Cuadrado, Henry, Pedrosa, and Carreia also make the 90s.

There are also two more centre-backs who reach 90 pace too, albeit with bronze ratings (Arigoni and Haliti). Your fastest FIFA 22 centre-backs include Lacroix (87), Militao (86), Klostermann (86), and Tomori (86).

FIFA 23 Fastest Midfielders

Pace isn't everything when it comes to midfielders, but having a CAM bursting into the box with electric speed can be quite effective. You won't want a slouch in CDM either.

Player	Position	Pace	Rating
Chara	CAM	91	75
Nkunku	CAM/CF	88	86
Kudus	CAM	88	76
Llorente	CM	88	84
Valverde	CM	87	84
Moreno	CAM	87	76
Nguen	CAM	87	74
Smyth	CAM	87	62
Lindstrom	CAM	87	75
Gomez	CAM	86	84
Nakajima	CAM	86	76
Ribeiro	CM	86	71
Laimer	CDM	84	83

You'll easily find more midfielders with 80 pace, although you're pretty safe dipping into the high seventies when it comes to your technicians.

If you're quite a lover of the FIFA 23 fastest players, you won't be short of options this year, and you'll easily be able to make some speedy teams with this year's chemistry options allowing for more creativity.
