What is the most important attribute in a player? Pace. Right. It’s time to find out the twenty FIFA 17 fastest players that you can use in your squad.
In FIFA 17 Ultimate Team, players are distinguished mainly by their six basic attributes: speed, shooting, passing, dribbling, defence and physical. There are other factors, but these six are those to which players pay more attention, especially speed.
In this FIFA 17 Fastest Players guide we will only analyse regular cards.
FIFA 17 Fastest Players Top 20
Amongst the twenty players who born to be the fastest ones, surprisingly only half belongs to the gold level. This means that if your way of playing depends almost exclusively of the players speed, you should pay attention to some unknown players that we bring to you. The big surprise of this year is Walcott. The fastest player of FUT history is not in the Top 20 of FIFA 17 Fastest Players.
1st Place
PIERRE-EMERIK AUBAMEYANG
Nationality: Gabon
Club: Borussia Dortmund (Bundesliga)
Rating: 86
Position: ST
Aubameyang conquests the title of FIFA 17 fastest player. The Dortmund striker’s Pace in FIFA 17 is a frightening 96. Only Bolly is as fast as him.
2nd Place
MATHIS BOLLY
Nationality: Ivory Coast
Club: F. Düsseldorf (2. Bundesliga)
Rating: 67
Position: RM
Bolly is an old client in the fastest FIFA players list. This year he was almost the number one. Maybe next year…
3rd Place
JONATHAN BIABIANY
Nationality: France
Club: Inter (Serie A)
Rating: 76
Position: RW
Another player used to the top positions of these lists. Biabiany, the fastest player playing out of Germany, reaches speeds of around 30 km/hour (!).
4th Place
HECTOR BELLERÍN
Nationality: Spain
Club: Arsenal (Premier League)
Rating: 79
Position: RB
The right-back has impressed with his defensive ability in recent years but he’s been helped by his incredible pace. He is only 21 years old, which means that you will see him in these lists for many years.
5th Place
JURGEN DAMM
Nationality: Mexico
Club: Tigres UANL (LIGA Bancomer MX)
Rating: 73
Position: RM
According to a study conducted by Mexican club Pachuca, and backed by FIFA, Damm is the second fastest player in the world, behind only Gareth Bale. He is able to reach 35.23 km/h running with the ball. Not bad at all…
6th Place
ERNEST ASANTE
Nationality: Ghana
Club: Stabæk Fotball (Tippeligaen)
Rating: 69
Position: RM
Pace, pace and pace. Asante is not an amazing player. His stats are not the ones you are looking for your team. However, if you need a cheap fast player…
7th Place
GARETH BALE
Nationality: Wales
Club: Real Madrid (La Liga Santander)
Rating: 90
Position: RW
Bale is a very expensive player but everything has a reason. The Real Madrid right winger has 94 Pace to go along with 87 Shooting and 86 Dribbling. A super player.
8th Place
HECTOR VILLALBA
Nationality: Argentina
Club: Tijuana (LIGA Bancomer MX)
Rating: 74
Position: RW
The 22-year-old Argentine is on loan to Mexican side Club Tijuana from American side Atlanta United. He is a good choice if you are looking for a player with a decent dribbling stat and fast. Very fast.
9th Place
JEFFERSON CUERO
Nationality: Colombia
Club: Monarcas (LIGA Bancomer MX)
Rating: 74
Position: LM
Another player from the Mexican league, Cuero was a ST in FIFA 16 but now he can be the left winger of your team.
10th Place
RYO MIYAICHI
Nationality: Japan
Club: FC St. Pauli (2. Bundesliga)
Rating: 70
Position: RM
Miyaichi played by Arsenal between 2011 and 2013 and he has been since then one of the fastest players in the game. Every single year. This one is no exception.
11th Place
NNAMDI ODUAMADI
Nationality: Nigeria
Club: HJK Helsinki (Veikkausliiga)
Rating: 66
Position: LM
This is a new player in Ultimate Team. Do you know a better way to be introduced in the game than making part of the top 20 FIFA 17 fastest players?
12th Place
KEKUTA MANNEH
Nationality: Gambia
Club: Whitecaps FC (MLS)
Rating: 70
Position: LM
Another African player in this list. Manneh is just 21 years-old and reports suggest that Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool have scouted him in real life.
13th Place
JONÁS AGUIRRE
Nationality: Argentina
Club: Rosário Central (MLS)
Rating: 68
Position: LM
Aguirre was one of the players who were downgraded in FIFA 17. However, his pace was boosted in 5 points! Buy him, play with him and you will find why he’s still a decent choice for your silver team.
14th Place
LUCAS
Nationality: Brazil
Club: Paris Saint Germain (Ligue 1)
Rating: 82
Position: RW
You probably don’t know every single player of this list but Lucas you do. The fastest Brazilian player in FIFA 17 is back and he may be useful if you need a top-quality fast winger.
15th Place
RAHEEM STERLING
Nationality: England
Club: Manchester City (Premier League)
Rating: 82
Position: LM
Sterling will be one of the most popular players in FIFA 17. He has everything to be one of the community favourites: he’s young, from England, plays in one of the most popular clubs, he’s in form and….he’s really fast.
16th Place
ALBA
Nationality: Spain
Club: FC Barcelona (La Liga Santander)
Rating: 86
Position: LB
You know how important is to have fast full-backs, don’t you? It’s not easy to find them. Alba and Belerrín are the exception. Are you thinking to build a Spanish squad?
17th Place
BRUMA
Nationality: Portugal
Club: Galatasaray SK (Süper Lig)
Rating: 77
Position: LW
No, it is not Ronaldo. Bruma don’t have the Madrid’s skills, but he’s faster and obviously much cheaper.
18th Place
KINGSLEY COMAN
Nationality: France
Club: FC Bayern (Bundesliga)
Rating: 81
Position: LW
What a player! Coman is one of the youngest players of this list but one of the best too. You will see him in these tops for many year.
19th Place
AHMED MUSA
Nationality: Nigeria
Club: Leicester City (Premier League)
Rating: 78
Position: ST
Directly from the Russian League to the Premier League champions, Musa will be one of the most used strikers in PL squads. He’s fast, has good dribbling stats and a decent passing.
20th Place
FABIAN CASTILLO
Nationality: Colombia
Club: Trabzonspor (Süper Lig)
Rating: 76
Position: LM
Being among the twenty FIFA 17 fastest players is not for everyone. If you play against him, you should have fast defenders.
