#10 Joao Plata

Acceleration - 95, Sprint speed - 83

Joao Jimmy Plata Cotera is an Ecuadorian footballer who plays for Real Salt Lake in Major League Soccer.

The 22 year old winger/forward slots in at no.10 with his acceleration rated 95. Expect some serious running as his pace is backed up with a good deal of stamina.

#9 Jodi Lukoki

Acceleration - 95, Sprint speed - 92.

Currently playing as a winger for the Dutch side S.C. Cambour, Jodi Lukoki is another winger who features in the category of fastest players.

The loanee from Ajax has a pace attribute that reads an acceleration of 95 with a sprint speed of 92.

#8 Cedrick

Acceleration - 95, Sprint speed - 93.

Real Betis winger Cedrick is ranked eighth on this list. The Congo born player arrived in Spain during his teen years and has been playing there since 2010.

Cedrick pace is rated 95 with a sprint speed of 93. So considering only sheer pace, he can be a handful.

#7 Luton Shelton

Acceleration - 95, Sprint speed - 94.

Luton Shelton is a Jamaican footballer who plays for the Russian Premier League club Volga Nizhny Novgorod.

The former Sheffield United striker who is rated 70 overall, has a sprint speed of 94 which is quite fast for a player who is 6 feet tall. With decent skill moves and an ability to get past defenders, he can serve as both a winger and a forward option if you like to counter attack.

#6 Jonathan Biabiany

Acceleration - 95, Sprint speed - 97.

Being a Fifa bug myself, I have to admit I was late to notice this French bullet train. Jonathan Biabiany, who features in the game as a Parma player, has a pace rating of 95.

The 25 year old has struggled a lot in the real world but in the gaming world, he is a first choice winger for any player who wants to build his team around speedy wide players.

#5 Lionel Messi

Acceleration - 96, Sprint speed - 90.

The Barcelona forward is without a shadow of a doubt the best player in the game.

Featured on the cover of several editions, Lionel Messi bags an overall attribute of 94 which is the highest for any player. It includes an acceleration power of 96 coupled with exceptional ball control and dribbling which is a nightmare for any defence in the world. His pace is abused and used to their advantage by innumerable FIFA users.

#4 Guillermo Rojas

Acceleration - 96, Sprint speed - 95.

It is highly unlikely to find a 30 year old amongst a young energetic collection of speedsters. But here to surprise everyone is Guillermo Rojas of Atlante.

The Mexican has played for nine different clubs over the course of the last ten years. With an overall acceleration of 96, he can burst into spaces and provide crucial support in the form of crosses down the left wing. Though he is very quick, he is physically not so imposing.

#3 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Acceleration - 96, Sprint speed - 95.

We have all been in situations when you are not getting any lucky break, nor is our playing style making a difference. Or instances where the opposition defense is not letting you get past easily. Solution? Put a striker who is lightning fast to beat defenders and receive that long ball you played.

And no one is better than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in that situation. Playing for Borussia Dortmund, he has a rating of 96 and can leave any defender for dead, either with or without the ball.

#2 Theo Walcott

Acceleration - 97, Sprint speed - 96.

Official game commentator Martin Tyler is heard saying during the game, "Theo Walcott burst onto the scene as a 16 year old from Southampton."

And when we say burst, we are talking about serious pace down the flanks. In other words, Theo Walcott is one of the most effective pacy wingers in the game. The Arsenal winger has a pace attribute of 96 and his runs on the flanks pose a serious threat while going forward.

#1 Mathais Bolly

Acceleration - 97, Sprint speed - 97.

Have you heard of him? I bet even the most hardcore Fifa gamers will struggle to recollect which team he plays for.

The Ivory coast international plays for Fortuna Dusseldorf which is a 2nd division Bundesliga outfit. His overall stats read a lowly 66. He plays on the left flank by default and has a pretty strong left foot. Although he lacks in other key attributes like heading and ball control, the Ivorian makes up for it with raw pace as he has an overall accleration of 97 which makes him the fastest player in the game.
