FIFA 22 fastest playersEA SPORTS

FIFA 22 is finally coming to a close, so it’s key that you’re aware of the fastest players available to pick up in Ultimate Team for every position before the next installment arrives.

There’s a lot of factors that go into building an effective squad in Ultimate Team, including tactics, formation, and of course, star players.

However, one stat that is absolutely key in almost every position on the pitch is speed and pace, so having some of the fastest players in the game on your team is essential.

While not everyone in your team has to be lightning-fast, it’s important you have at least one player in attack, midfield, and defense that can pull away from their opposite number if necessary.

Luckily, there are countless high-quality players from around the world that will be able to inject your FUT team with the pace it needs to succeed. Here are all the fastest players in FIFA 22.
