Who is the fastest player in FIFA 23?

FIFA 23 cover star Kylian Mbappe has retained the honour of being fastest player in the game with a pace rating of 97 - which is the same as the score he had in FIFA 22.

The PSG star combines his unsurpassed pace rating with an overall rating of 91 to be arguably the most devastating player in the game.

Wolves powerhouse Adama Traore is the outright second-quickest player with a pace rating of 96 - after sharing that honour with Alphonso Davies in last year's game, with the Bayern defender staying in the top 20 but seeing his score decrease from 96 to 94.

Three players feature a 95 pace rating including Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr, Fulham's Daniel James and Union Berlin striker Sheraldo Becker.

While James and Becker both have an overall rating under 80, Vinicius is rated 86 - meaning his card will be one of the most-sought after forwards with his electrifying pace combined with his other attacking abilities.
