If there’s one unchangeable truth in EA FC 26, it’s that very few stats are as game-changing for a player as pace. After all, just like a striker or winger unable to lose their markers will rarely score, a centre or fullback who cannot catch attackers might hurt you just as much. To help you find the best fit for your club, here are the 10 fastest players in EA FC 26, icons and promo cards excluded.
The 10 Fastest Players In EA FC 26, Ranked
Continuing his reign, Real Madrid and France’s biggest star, Kylian Mbappé, takes the throne as the fastest player in EA FC 26 with 97 PAC. Following the Frenchman, we then have his Madric teammate, Vinicius Jr, and PSG’s Nuno Mendes, both with 95. OL Lyonnes’ Melchie Dumornay and Athletic Club’s Nico Williams then close the top five with 93 each.
