Fastest players in FIFA 22: Defenders, midfielders & attackers
FIFA 22 is full of quick players across the pitch, whether it be attack or defense. Check out our guide of the fastest in each position.
Pace is a key part of the FIFA 22 meta and can be the difference between a good team and a great team. Here’s our guide on the fastest players in FIFA 22.
Whether you’re building your Ultimate Team or starting a new Career Mode, injecting the right amount of pace into your squad can be vital to success.
Speed is often thought to matter most in wingers and fullbacks, but in FIFA 22, it pays to have it across all areas of the pitch.
Luckily, EA seems to have been more generous with pace stats this year, and there are plenty of speedsters to choose from no matter the role. Here are the fastest players in FIFA 22 for every position.

Top 10 fastest players in FIFA 22
Fans are always keen to know the overall quickest players in every game. Each year, many of these stars will become some of the most valuable in Ultimate Team and a go-to signing in Career Mode.
On September 21, 2021, EA officially revealed the players with the highest pace stats in FIFA 22. Many familiar faces make up the top 10, but there are a couple of surprises along the way too.
These are the 10 fastest players in this year’s FIFA at launch which means these are also the 10 fastest players available in Career Mode.
| Player | Club | Position | Pace |
| Kylian Mbappe | PSG | ST | 97 |
| Adama Traore | Wolves | RW | 96 |
| Alphonso Davies | Bayern Munich | LB | 96 |
| Daniel James | Leeds United | RM | 95 |
| Achraf Hakimi | PSG | RB | 95 |
| Vinicius Jr | Real Madrid | LW | 95 |
| Gerrit Holtmann | VfL Bochum | LM | 94 |
| Ismaila Sarr | Watford | RW | 94 |
| Georges Nkoudou | Besiktas | LM | 94 |
| Linton Maina | Hannover 96 | RM | 94 |
FIFA 22 fastest defenders
If you want to survive in the game’s meta, you’re going to need to have some speedy players at the back. Many of the attackers in FIFA 22 have pace stats over 90, so it’s essential to have a backline that can keep up.
Fullbacks are constantly having to deal with tricky wingers with lots of skill. They can easily be breezed past by a well-timed drop of the shoulder, so pace is vital in helping the fullback recover.
Center-backs often have better defensive awareness, but that only carries them so far in FIFA 22. When the ball is inevitably played in behind, it becomes a foot race with the striker.
These are the quickest defenders in FIFA 22 by position and their price on Ultimate Team.
| Player Name | Club | Position | Pace | FUT Price |
| Achraf Hakimi (TOTY) | PSG | RB | 99 | 700,000 |
| Theo Hernandez (TOTW) | AC Milan | LB | 96 | 334,000 |
| David Raum (TOTW) | Hoffenheim | LWB | 97 | 14,000 |
| Leonardo Spinazzola (WW) | Roma | LWB | 96 | 244,000 |
| Youcef Atal (SS) | Nice | RB | 96 | 50,000 |
| Sergio Reguilon (NU) | Tottenham | LB | 96 | 71,000 |
| Issa Kabore (FS) | Troyes | RB | 96 | 17,000 |
| Alphonso Davies | Bayern Munich | LB | 96 | 2,000 |
| Joao Cancelo (TOTY) | Manchester City | LB | 95 | 860,000 |
| Ryuta Koike (TOTW) | Yokohama | RB | 95 | 29,000 |
| Nuno Mendes (FB) | PSG | LWB | 95 | 394,000 |
| Thomas Delaine (WW) | FC Metz | LWB | 94 | 194,000 |
| Alex Moreno (WW) | Real Betis | LB | 94 | 22,000 |
| Kyle Walker (TOTYHM) | Manchester City | RB | 94 | 100,000 |
| Zaidu Sanusi | FC Porto | RB | 93 | 950 |
FIFA 22 fastest midfielders
While in the back and front lines, it may be evident that speed is essential, you can often get away with slower, more technically gifted players in the middle of the park.
However, adding a central player with a bit more pace into the mix can be a great way to break through defensive lines or trackback and stop a fast counterattack.
Likewise, having quick left or right midfielders depending on your formation can make it far easier to get into decent crossing positions.
These are the midfielders on FIFA 22 with the highest pace stats by position.
| Player Name | Club | Position | Pace | FUT Price |
| Moussa Diaby (TOTW) | Bayer Leverkusen | RM | 99 | 29,000 |
| Krepin Diatta (RTTK) | AS Monaco | RM | 97 | 11,000 |
| Justin Kluivert (MOTM) | Nice | RM | 97 | 16,000 |
| Lucas Moura (WW) | Tottenham | CAM | 96 | 496,000 |
| Yorbe Vertessen (TOTW) | PSV | RM | 96 | 19,000 |
| Dodi Lukebakio (WW) | Wolfsburg | RM | 96 | 20,000 |
| Nikola Mileusnic (TOTW) | Brisbane Roar | LM | 96 | 10,500 |
| Junya Ito (TOTW) | Genk | RM | 96 | 28,000 |
| Gelson Martins (TOTW) | AS Monaco | LM | 96 | 14,000 |
| Galeno (TOTW) | Braga | LM | 95 | 17,500 |
| Leroy Sane (RTTK) | Bayern Munich | RM | 95 | 210,000 |
| Ismaila Sarr (TOTW) | Watford | RM | 95 | 29,000 |
| Daniel James | Leeds United | RM | 95 | 900 |
| Luis Diaz (HL) | Liverpool | LM | 95 | 200,000 |
| Sadio Mane (RTTF) | Liverpool | CAM | 95 | 1.45 million |
FIFA 22 fastest attackers
The FIFA 22 meta demands that you have plenty of quick and nimble players at the top end of the pitch.
Rapid wingers can be the secret to unlocking a tightly packed defense, using their acceleration to make precious space and deliver a cross into the box.
Through the middle, having a fast striker opens up the chance of a counterattack. Alternatively, they can be paired with a target man to win headed knockdowns.
These are the fastest attackers in FIFA 22, as well as their price on Ultimate Team.
| Player Name | Club | Position | Pace | FUT Price | |
| Kylian Mbappe (TOTY) | PSG | ST | 99 | 4.2 million | |
| Vinicius Jr (HL) | Real Madrid | LW | 99 | 1.5 million | |
| Adama Traore (Vs) | Wolves | RW | 98 | 195,000 | |

| Ansu Fati (RTTF) | Barcelona | LW | 98 | 852,000 | |
| Hirving Lozano (RTTF) | Napoli | RW | 97 | 36,000 | |
| Kingsley Coman (WW) | Bayern Munich | ST | 96 | 402,000 | |
| Diogo Jota (NU) | Liverpool | LW | 96 | 285,000 | |
| Lorenzo Insigne (NU) | Napoli | LW | 96 | 127,000 | |

How to complete FIFA 22 Fabinho & Rodrygo Showdown SBC
Players can secure one or both of Fabinho and Rodrygo as part of the new FIFA 22 Ultimate Team Showdown SBC.
As the iconic Champions League Final between Liverpool and Real Madrid approaches, FIFA 22 players will have the opportunity to complete the Fabinho and Rodrygo Showdown SBC.
While Ultimate Team players are currently focusing on securing the best TOTS cards available, EA have released two more top cards with the Fabinho and Rodrygo Showdown SBC.
Players in your squad from the previously released Premier League TOTS and LaLiga TOTS are sure to provide excellent linking options with Fabhinho and Rodrygo.
The Champions League Final will take place on May 28 and the winner of the match will receive an in-game upgrade of +2. Here’s everything you need to know about the Fabinho & Rodrygo Showdown SBC.

FIFA 22 Showdown Fabinho SBC stats
The base version of Showdown Fabinho is excellent, however, without the +2 upgrade, you may have a hard time justifying the steep price you’ll have to pay. Nonetheless, if you’re flush with coins and fodder, Fabinho is a great addition even at this stage of the game.
- Read more: FIFA 22 TOTS Token Swaps explained
Fabinho is one of the best CDMs in the game and if you run a Premier League squad, he’ll be a massive improvement from TOTS Rice, Fernandes, Silva, and Fred. His 94 Standing Tackle and 92 Interceptions will surely result in Fabinho winning many loose balls in the middle of the pitch.
FIFA 22 Showdown Rodrygo SBC stats
If you completed the Isco SBC, then Rodrygo is a no-brainer. The winger is slightly cheaper than Fabinho but still quite expensive. You’ll certainly be able to justify the price if Rodrygo moves to 94 overall.

5* skill moves and 4* weak foot is a great combination, while 97 Agility, Sprint Speed, and Acceleration make him incredibly quick. He also has the movement stats like 96 Balance and 95 Dribbling to go with that pace.
How to complete FIFA 22 Showdown Fabinho SBC
To complete this SBC players will need to give up four squads: Liverpool, Brazil, Premier League, and Top Form. Costing around 470,000 coins, Fabinho is considered a luxury option at CDM. You’ll have to gather a ton of fodder and coins to complete this FIFA 22 SBC.

What are TOTW cards in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team?
Team of the Week items are special cards that boost stats based on that player’s performance in the previous week of real-world games. Any player awarded an in-form will see both their ratings and in-game stats get a permanent increase.
Every week, EA unveils a 23-man squad of the stars who had the best games in the previous domestic or international fixtures round. They could be awarded for a last-minute winner in a big game or a heroic performance from a goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet.
- Read more: Will FIFA 23 have crossplay? Leaks & rumors
Each TOTW is available in packs for an entire week until it is replaced by the next squad on the following Wednesday. Players can’t receive an in-form two weeks in a row.
While an in-form card is in packs, it replaces the base version of that player. The normal card will return to packs when that TOTW is over.
FIFA 22 Ultimate Team Featured TOTW
In FIFA 22, EA has addressed fans’ complaints that TOTW items are often quickly rendered useless by the other promotional cards added to the game throughout the year.
Every week, one player will receive a special Featured TOTW card. These players will receive a larger boost than the rest of the squad in an attempt to make them more desirable to those building their teams.
To qualify for this additional stat boost, the player must have a base card that is under 80-rated and not have any other performance-based card in packs – such as a Ones to Watch.
When is the TOTW released?
Historically, EA announces the latest TOTW every Wednesday so that any Monday night games can be considered.
Each new team is normally Tweeted out around 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM GMT with a full look at every upgrade.
