Over the years, EA Sports FC has evolved from a straightforward video game into an increasingly sophisticated simulation of life on the soccer pitch. The level of detail packed into the game has made its player models, attributes and gameplay feel more realistic than ever.

Yet one thing has never really changed: pace is king.

Whether you’re grinding through Career Mode or building your Ultimate Team, having a player who can absolutely fly can make all the difference. Explosive speed lets you burst in behind defenses, tear down the wings and turn half-chances into genuine goalscoring opportunities.

Here, we rank the 10 fastest players in EA Sports FC 27, based on the official Pace ratings listed on their Ultimate Team cards.


10. Gerso (Incheon United)

Gerso may be quick, but good luck getting him chemistry in Ultimate Team. He plays for K League 1 club Incheon United and is from Guinea-Bissau.

He’s also just 70-rated, suggesting it may not quite be worth the hassle, even if he is rapid.


9. Anthony Elanga (Newcastle United)
