Fifa 23 has just launched and it’s time to start building out your squad. If you want to stand a chance in in Ultimate Team divisions, you’re going to need some pace on your team.
Below we have taken a look at the fastest players in Fifa Ultimate team 2023. Having one of these players on your wing will be ahuge advantage early in the game. Let’s check them out.
Fastest FIFA 23 Players At Launch
Here’s an in-depth look at the fastest FIFA 23 players at launch for 2022:
Kylian Mbappé
97 PACE STRIKER (Paris SG)
The cover and heart of FIFA 23 this year is Kylian Mbappe yet again, continuing his 3-year streak. He is the highest-rated player in FIFA 23, which also makes him the fastest with a whopping pace of 98 as is evident by his maneuverability and speed which can be seen on the pitch.
Kylian this year will no doubt continue into his prime, from FIFA 22, into FIFA 23. In the last installment, it was essentially meta to have this guy in your team, and the football would just magically come to him with not many players able to keep up with his speed.
Adama Traoré Diarra
96 PACE RIGHT MIDFIELDER (Wolves)
The 25-year Adama Diarra is the best Spain has to offer when it comes to speed. His position as a midfielder allows him to pace between the field to keep the ball on his team’s side. In the previous games, his recovery time was insane and could easily steal the ball even if he missed his first chance.
Diarra’s journey into FIFA 23 seems no different as he ranks as the second fastest character to have by your side. Your offensive plays will be incomplete without him by your side.
Vinícius Jr.
95 PACE LEFT WINGER
Vinicius is agile, with a beast-like pace nonetheless. Vinicius Jr.’s dribbling will make the most of his left-wing position to pass the ball into a threatening position in order to set your strikers up for a perfect goal.
With a few upgrades to Vinicius, you’ll be looking at one of the most effective play-maker in your team.
Daniel James
95 PACE RIGHT MIDFIELDER
Daniel James is a formidable player on Leeds United as a Right Midfielder. His overall rating will be 77, with his selling-point being the high pace for most players. He’s back stronger than ever after helping Wales make it to the finals in FIFA’s World Cup.
The 23-year old will definitely be a great pick, and second only to Adama Traore Diarra from Spain.
Sheraldo Becker
95 PACE STRIKER
With an overall rating of 76 (a definite improvement), Sheraldo returns to FIFA 23 as a striker with what we can only hope are iron legs with an astounding 95 pace.
His amazing start with the Suriname team has put him on the map with many eyes on him, after which he was named for the Surinamese squad for the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Gerrit Holtmann
94 PACE LEFT WINGER
Gerrit Holtmann joined VfL Bochum in 2020, and since then has managed to bag himself a German Goal of the Year. His work has been fairly recognized in FIFA 23 with an overall rating of 74 and 94 pace, which puts him as the sixth fastest player in the game.
Iñaki Wlliams
94 PACE ST (Athletic Club)
Williams is a lot like Mbappe, and he will make use of his precision from the right foot to your advantage. Anywhere you decide to hit with Inaki, you can be sure he’s going to land it exactly where it should go.
To put it simply, he knows how to bully the opposition. With an overall rating of 81 and a 94 pace, he might be one of your best assets in the Striker position.
Sebastian Villa
94 PACE LEFT WINGER (Boca Juniors)
By his fourth appearance for Boca, Sebastian had scored his first goal for a home victory against Sarsfield. He has been going up the ladder since then, and has made it to the FIFA 23 roster with an 77 overall and 94 pace.
The left-winger has managed to accumulate 3 goals, and 7 assists in the course of 15 matches within domestic competition.
Ismaila Sarr
94 PACE RIGHT MIDFIELDER
Transitioning from FIFA 22 to FIFA 23, Ismaila keeps his rating consistent at a 77 overall with a 94 pace. He’s a good pick and his mid-fielder position can lead to a bunch of assists. Keep in mind though that his weak foot can be easily exploited as well.
Nonetheless, the Senegalese footballer can hold his ground fairly well, ranking at the 9th position in the list of fastest players for FIFA 23.
Kevin Schade
94 PACE RIGHT MIDFIELDER
While we definitely didn’t expect to see Kevin at the bottom of the list with FIFA 23, it would still seem that he’s a reliable pick in the game. At only 20 years old, he is the fastest and youngest player on our list of fastest players in FIFA 23.
Not long after Kevin made his big appearance, he was marked as one of the brightest young talents, which is why it was so surprising to not see him closer to the top of this list with FIFA 23’s release.
Conclusion
FIFA 23 is right around the corner, marked for release on the 27th of September. Player ratings are out, and you should have an idea on what composition you should be aiming for. Ideally, Mbappe would make the cut to your team, but you should also consider fast players like Gerrit Holtmann (silver card), as they will provide you great efficiency at a cheaper price.
