EA Sports FC 25has landed, and while this year’s edition doesn’t receive a drastic overhaul, the fastest players remain critical to your chances of victory on the pitch. Alongside strength, the fastest players have long been meta in the series, with them able to break clear of the opposition regardless of the other players' abilities. Since theseries moved away fromFIFAlast year, several tweaks have been made to the gameplay, but the core game will feel familiar to long-time fans of the series.
While the best players to use acrossEA Sports FC 25have the best overall ratings, different stars are the fastest in the game. New cards are constantly being brought out for the Ultimate Team mode, but the base stats for each player at the launch of this year’s game stay the same, regardless of which mode you are playing, from the competitive online environment to career mode.

There are seven players with a pace stat of 94 inEA Sports FC 25,but we have included the three that are most effective in the list. This starts with one of two silver cards featured in the top ten,Brentford winger Kevin Schade. Despite his overall lower rating, he has plenty of attributes that can make him very dangerous on the field. His 94 pace can immediately cause trouble for defenders, especially center backs who are notoriously slower than other positions.
If you want to quickly improve your Premier League based team, Schade gives you a dangerous outlet from the flanks. He can also be picked up relatively cheaply across all modes, currently only a few thousand coins on the Ultimate Team transfer market.
EA Sports FC 25 Preview: Unexpected Changes To The Usual Could Be Potent
EA Sports FC 25 looks to bring some large changes to the structure of the yearly sports title, based on preview information revealed.

88
Portuguese forward Rafael Leao is yet another player with a 94 pace that should be part of every team. As with thefastest players in theMaddenseriesinEA Sports FC 25,they are one of the meta attributes in the game. The AC Milan star backs up his speed with four-star weak foot and five-star skill abilities, making him one of the trickiest wingers to stop. His performances last season led to a host of further improved cards for Ultimate Team, so as the campaign continues, he is one to watch for.Leao is the highest-rated player to have theplaystyle plus ability rapid plus. This further increases Leao’s top sprint speed when dribbling with the ball.

83
While his younger brother Niko was leading Spain to glory at this year’s European Championships, veteran Inaki Williams led the sibling’s competition for pace inEA Sports FC 25.Williams has long been a choice in many players' starter Ultimate Teams, as he has the combination of being incredibly fast whilst also being cheap to pick up on the Transfer Market.He keeps a 94-pace stat along with 85 strength, making him a dual threat. While his finishing and shooting stats could be higher, his pace will get him into positions to score, giving you many opportunities when using Williams.
74
95
79
Yankuba Minteh might be one of the less-known players to feature on this list, but he is one of the best value players for money. Minteh is a right midfielder who plays for Brighton in the Premier League, making him very valuable for many potential squads. While he is only a silver card, you may pick him up in Ultimate Team for only a few thousand coins at the launch ofEA Sports FC 25.
Minteh is a player I have added to my starter Premier League team. Despitehis low overall rating of 74, his pace can cause carnage in defenses. For those who prefer to play career mode, he also has a lot of potential. Most of his other stats, such as shooting and passing, are low, but he is only 20 years old, so there is plenty of time for this to grow after a few seasons.
Minteh has the Quick Step plus playstyle, which significantly increases his acceleration during explosive sprints.
87
84
AC Milan’s full-back, Theo Hernandez, ticks many boxes inEA Sports FC 25for a defender. Fantastic physical stats, including 88 strength, 95 jumping, and 95 pace, make him an all-round star. On top of that, he also hasstats that make him useful further up the pitch, such as 86 shot power, making it worthwhile having a try for a goal if the space opens up with the Frenchman. Finally, he also offers a great combination of a French player in the Italian league, a vital attribute to have if you are building a squad with chemistry in Ultimate Team.
Hernandez is the highest-rated left back in the game, making him an expensive buy if you want to add him to your team.
One of the long-time fastest players in the series is Moussa Diaby, who now plies his trade in the Saudi Arabian League. This increases the value of him as a player if you are competing in Ultimate Team. However, his 95-pace stat means he is not only one of the fastest players inEA Sports FC 25but alsoone of the most valuable across all the different game modes. While his default position is as a right midfielder, he can also play right wing, attacking midfield, and as a striker, making him a very versatile player to add to your club.
96
85
A second left-back in this list is Bayern Munich star Alfonso Davies. Since debuting for the German giants, Davies has always had immense pace across the series, allowing him to recover in the game if caught out of position. This is vital in online matches, so you don’t give your opponent clear-cut chances, making him one of the most valuable players on the list. His card is nearly identical to last year’s, with 95 paces, making him also a suitable winger if you want to use him further up the pitch.
90
Vini Jr remains one of the most exciting playersto use inEA Sports FC 25this year. Five-star skills and four-star weak foot mean he can use every skill move in the game. This, coupled with incredible dribbling and shooting stats, make him one of the must-have stars to use in wide positions. However, one of his most essential attributes remains his pace, which stands at 95, meaning he won’t be caught once he is away down the win.
Vinicius Junior is the seventh highest-rated player acrossEA Sports FC 25.
He is an excellent prospect for Ultimate Team, being Brazilian and playing for Real Madrid in La Liga, increasing his value. However, his overall 90 rating means he will bring back a few million coins if you want to add him to your club.
Borussia Dortmund wide man Karim Adeyemi comes in at the number two spot on our list. At only 22 years old, he has the potential to become the quickest player in the series in the coming years. His overall rating has dropped one, to 79 for this year’s game, but his standout stat remains pace at 96.
Karim Adeyemi is much cheaper to acquire in both Career Mode and Ultimate Team than the majority of the other fastest players.
His acceleration and sprint speed stats are also 96, but he lacks in his shooting and passing numbers. Despite this, he is a great player to pick up early on inEA Sports FC 25,and his pace means he can cause lots of problems for opposition defenses.
91
97
A number of players in this list rely solely on their pace inEA Sports FC 25.However, the quickest of the lot is also the best overall. Real Madrid’s latest star signing,Kylian Mbappe, is the fastest player this year with a 97 pace stat, backed up by 97 acceleration and 97 sprint speed. The French World Cup winner is also one of the joint players with the highest overall rating, with a 91 rating, and arguably is the best on offer. Add to this great physical and shooting stats, and he is near impossible to stop.
He will set you back currency in any mode, though. He is currently the most expensive player on the Ultimate Team transfer market, but this is expected for theformer cover star of the series. However, as the fastest player inEA Sports FC 25,Mbappe is worth the money.
