Pace is one of the most important traits a footballer can ever have, which is why speedsters are essential to compete in your FM23 team.
Football Manager 2023 is no doubt one of ten best releases in Sports Interactive’s simulation franchise.
The addictive soccer game has generally gotten positive reviews since its launch in the latter part of 2022, and rightfully - it’s everything you’d ever want in a football manager game.
However, fans who are new to the game might be a bit mixed up on what players work for their team depending on their tactics.
Well look no further than the Pulse Sports Football Manager guide.
Pace is an essential feature in the organization of your team setup.
Regardless of whatever game plan you opt for in Football Manager, at a point, you will have to rely on pace one way or another.
But who are the fastest players in FM 23?
Top 10 fastest players in Football Manager 2023
Erling Haaland
)
Acceleration: 17
Pace: 19
The prolific Norwegian is incredibly fast for his towering size.
We’re not sure how or why he has such superpowers but it is what it is.
City's no.9 is one of the deadliest finishers in FM 23 and also one of the fastest players in the entire game.
Needless to say, he’s quite expensive. So if you don’t have a fat budget or manage a team like Real Madrid or Barcelona, just smile and wave really.
Kyle Walker
)
Acceleration: 19
Pace: 18
The 32-year-old City right back is one of the veterans in the Premier League, but apparently, he hasn’t lost his most dangerous attribute even as he ages.
Walker is a great defender to have in a team that plays with a high line due to his excellent tracking back, and he’s pretty affordable too.
DeAndre Yedlin
)
Acceleration: 18
Pace: 19
FIFA gamers shouldn’t be surprised by his inclusion here.
The former Newcastle right back is one of the fastest players in the Major League Soccer for Inter Miami and the fastest American player in the game.
Achraf Hakimi
)
Acceleration: 18
Pace: 20
Without the shadow of a doubt, Morocco’s World Cup star Achraf Hakimi is the fastest right-back in the game.
The PSG star’s speed is as scary as ever, making him a serious threat in attack.
Suffice to say, he’s going to cost you some good amount of money to acquire his services from the Parc de Princes.
Daizen Maeda
)
Acceleration: 19
Pace: 19
Celtic’s Daizen Maeda is simply a rocket in human form.
With 19 pace and 19 acceleration, he’s the fastest speedster in the Scottish league, hence why he has been setting speed records in Scottish football.
Daniel James
)
Acceleration: 19
Pace: 19
Touted as the best next thing in Welsh football, James was the player Manchester United perhaps thought Anthony Elanga would not be, but here we are.
However, for all of his shortcomings, he remains a speedster and one of the fastest ever in gaming history.
A good squad player for a Premier League club and pretty affordable too.
Alphonso Davies
)
Acceleration: 19
Pace: 19
Another player on this list that surprises nobody is this man.
Though he often plays as a defender , Alphonso Davies is capable of giving defences nightmares.
With a pace rating of 19, Davies is the perfect player to have operating at wing-back in your side.
He provides a major attacking threat down the left flank, but has an impressive defensive awareness, and the best part?...he’s pretty affordable. A must-have if you can.
Tyler Magloire
)
Acceleration: 20
Pace: 20
One of Football Manager 2023's quickest players is this Northampton Town centre-back - Tyler Magloire.
If you're managing at a lower level, Magloire's pace is a real utility that is very much affordable.
Adama Traore
)
Acceleration: 20
Pace: 20
There’s no reason why this man should not be reaching double figures either in goals or assists, season in, season out, but again, here we are.
Adama Traore's pace and dribbling ability is fierce but heartbreaking at the least due to his lack of productivity when it matters most in real life.
Regardless, the Wolves winger is a cheap and ultimate speedster you can add to inject pace to your attack.
Kylian Mbappe
)
Acceleration: 20
Pace: 20
What’s there to say really? Kylian Mbappe's pace is just one of the many attributes that make him one of the best players on earth.
His overall attributes are also quite scary for his age, and as expensive as he is, he is worth every penny.
He'll bang the goals in for your team and beat anybody in a foot race, although, getting him off his Qatar payroll could be quite a headache if your budget isn’t extra bulky.
