Be it Ultimate Team or Career Mode, if there’s one definitive player trait in EA FC 26, it’s raw pace. It’s much easier to make do with a quick silver card than a sluggish gold one, especially in advanced areas of the pitch. When used in the correct setup and manner, these speedsters can be absolutely game-breaking and are capable of carrying your attack. On that note, here are the fastest players in EA FC 26.
Fastest Players in EA FC 26
Before we get into the list, it’s important to note that, unlike the good ol’ FIFA days, the ‘Pace’ stat isn’t the only determining factor while analysing a player’s speed. Following the introduction of PlayStyles, there are multiple attributes that can contribute to how quick a card feels on the pitch. These attributes include Rapid and Quick Step, so be sure to look out for them while selecting your player.
With that being said, here are the fastest players in FC 26 (excluding Icons and Heroes) based on their Pace stat:
Player Name Team Position FC 26 Pace Rating Kylian Mbappe Real Madrid ST 97 Karim Adeyemi Borussia Dortmund RM 96 Gabriel Silva Santa Clara LW 96 Lois Openda Juventus ST 95 Vinicius Jr. Real Madrid LW 95 Nuno Mendes PSG LB 95 Moussa Diaby Al-Ittihad RM 95 Tabitha Chawinga Lyon LW 94 Alphonso Davies Bayern Munich LB 94 Jeremie Frimpong Liverpool RB 94 Inaki Williams Atheltic Club RM 94 Yankubah Minteh Brighton RM 94 Daniel James Leeds United RM 94 Adama Traore Fulham RM 94 Jean-Mattéo Bahoya Frankfurt LM 94 Milan van Ewijk Coventry City RB 94 Ernest Poku Bayer Leverkusen RM 94 Mitchell van Bergen Twente RM 94 Nishan Velupillay Melbourne Victory LM 94 Rosemonde Kouassi Washington Spirit LM 94
Unsurprisingly, the list has been topped by Real Madrid frontman, Kylian Mbappe. The striker is known for being incredibly rapid, just like Karim Adeyemi, who takes the second spot. Juventus striker, Lois Openda, has been turned into an absolute dream of a starter card, with a blistering pace stat of 95 to match his impressive shooting and physicality.
Further down the list, we’ve got smart Evolution candidates, or cheap starters if you’re playing Career Mode. This includes Yankubah Minteh, Daniel James, and Adama Traore, to name a few.
And that wraps up our guide on the fastest players in EA FC 26. Let us know which players you’ll be picking up once the game launches in the comments.
