Wolves' Adama Traore might not be making starts in real life, but he almost caught up with the Frenchman. His pace rating is just one less than the PSG superstar's, which is no mean feat. Interestingly, Jeremiah St. Juste has become the fastest center-back in the game.

There are two rising stars in the form of Alphonso Davies and Lucas Hernandez. The two left-backs are sensational at their respective clubs, and their pace symbolizes their offensive work rates. It will be interesting to see how all these cards will shape up the meta once FIFA 23 releases on September 30.
