EA Sports FC (the rebranded FIFA franchise) splits a player's pace rating into two attributes: acceleration and sprint speed. The combined "pace" rating is the metric most casual players associate with raw speed in the game. Below are the top-rated pace players across recent EA Sports FC editions, with each player's club, country, and notable real-world speed records included for context. ## 1. Kylian Mbappé (France) _Real Madrid · Pace 97 (EA FC) · World Cup top scorer 2018 & 2022_ Kylian Mbappé has been the highest-rated pace player in EA Sports FC and the late-period FIFA series for several consecutive editions. His real-world top speed has been recorded at 38 km/h, among the fastest ever measured in professional football. Mbappé's transfer from PSG to Real Madrid in summer 2024 further raised the spotlight on his pace ratings. - [Real Madrid tickets](https://anyseats.net/real-madrid-tickets.md) ## 2. Vinicius Junior (Brazil) _Real Madrid · Pace 95 (EA FC) · 2022 Champions League winner_ Vinicius Junior's combination of acceleration and dribbling at top speed makes him one of the highest-rated pace players in EA Sports FC. His real-world sprint records in La Liga matches have consistently exceeded 35 km/h. Vinicius has become the focal point of Real Madrid's attacking pace. - [Real Madrid tickets](https://anyseats.net/real-madrid-tickets.md) ## 3. Adama Traoré (Spain) _Various clubs · Pace 95+ (FIFA 23) · Spain international_ Adama Traoré has held a 96 pace rating in multiple recent FIFA / EA Sports FC editions. His combined acceleration and sprint speed has been the highest-rated of any player in some editions of the game. Traoré's physical build — significantly more muscular than most wingers — combined with his sprint speed has been a defining feature of his career. ## 4. Jeremy Doku (Belgium) _Manchester City · Pace 94 (EA FC)_ Jeremy Doku joined Manchester City in summer 2023 and his pace rating immediately reflected his real-world acceleration profile. Doku's ability to beat defenders in tight spaces has been a feature of Manchester City's attack since his arrival. His real-world recorded sprint speed has been measured above 35 km/h in Premier League matches. - [Manchester City tickets](https://anyseats.net/manchester-city-tickets.md) ## 5. Anthony Gordon (England) _Newcastle United · Pace 93 (EA FC)_ Anthony Gordon's pace rating in recent EA Sports FC editions has reflected his real-world sprint speed at Newcastle. The Liverpool-born winger has been clocked at over 36 km/h in Premier League matches and is among the fastest English players in the modern Premier League. - [Newcastle United tickets](https://anyseats.net/newcastle-united-tickets.md) ## 6. Alphonso Davies (Canada) _Bayern Munich · Pace 93 (EA FC) · 2020 Champions League winner_ Alphonso Davies has held a 95+ pace rating across multiple recent EA Sports FC editions. His real-world sprint speed has been recorded at over 36 km/h in Bundesliga and Champions League matches. Davies's combined attributes — pace, dribbling, and crossing — make him one of the most complete left-backs in modern football. ## 7. Mike Maignan (France) _AC Milan · Pace 92 (EA FC) · goalkeeper outlier_ Among non-outfield players, Mike Maignan stands out for his high pace ratings. His real-world quick-distribution and sweeping work give him significantly higher pace attributes than most goalkeepers in EA Sports FC. France's depth of pace players extends beyond their forwards. - [AC Milan tickets](https://anyseats.net/ac-milan-tickets.md) ## 8. Mohammed Kudus (Ghana) _West Ham, Tottenham · Pace 92 (EA FC)_ Mohammed Kudus has rapidly climbed EA Sports FC pace ratings since his Premier League arrival.

Theo Hernandez (France) _AC Milan · Pace 92 (EA FC)_ Theo Hernandez has held a high pace rating across multiple EA Sports FC editions. His real-world sprint speed has been clocked above 34 km/h in Serie A matches. Hernandez's combined attacking left-back attributes make him one of the highest-rated left-backs in the modern game. - [AC Milan tickets](https://anyseats.net/ac-milan-tickets.md) ## 10. Karim Adeyemi (Germany) _Borussia Dortmund · Pace 95 (EA FC)_ Karim Adeyemi's pace rating has been consistently near the top of EA Sports FC since his Dortmund move. Real-world recorded sprint speeds have placed him among the fastest players in the Bundesliga. Adeyemi's combination of acceleration and finishing has made him a key part of Dortmund's attacking line. - [Bundesliga fixtures](https://anyseats.net/german-bundesliga.md) Country-by-country, France leads EA Sports FC's pace rankings with Mbappé, Maignan, Hernandez and historic French pace talent. Brazil (Vinicius), Spain (Traoré) and Germany (Adeyemi) all have multiple representatives in the top pace bracket. England's recent rise — Anthony Gordon, plus contributions from Bukayo Saka — reflects the Premier League's growing investment in pure-pace wide-forward profiles. EA Sports FC's pace metrics broadly track real-world recorded sprint speeds, with Mbappé's 38 km/h record remaining the benchmark in professional football. --- **Machine-readable**: this page's data is also available as JSON — `GET https://anyseats.net/api/v1/events` to search, and `GET https://anyseats.net/api/v1/events/{id}?listings=1` for every listing on an event.
