Pace is a huge part of any modern FIFA game, particularly when we’re talking about Ultimate Team.
With this year’s ratings putting a few names on level pegging in terms of their speed, YouTuber Wrzzer conducted their own research to find out how that translated in a straight foot race between a series of the game’s fastest names.
Players like Adama Traore, Kylian Mappen and Alphonso Davies all share a 96 rating, however it was the explosive Wolves winger who took home the prize.
