Kylian Mbappe, Adama Traore and Sadio Mane are three of the fastest players in Fifa 21

Fifa 21 is almost here.

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.

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
