Hector Bellerin’s pace sets him apart from regular full-backs

RB- Hector Bellerin (Pace- 95)

One of the quickest players in FIFA 17, the Arsenal right-back is a shoe in for the fastest right fullback spot. The pace provided down the right flank by Bellerin is essential to the free-flowing, attacking football the Gunners aspire to play with his speed coming in handy for defensive recoveries as well as marauding runs down the flank on counter attacks.

CB- Nathan Smith (Pace- 88)

A pace rating of 88 is pretty good for a central defender and the former Jamaican international has loads of it. The 29-year-old currently plays for League Two side Yeovil Town in England. While Yeovil Town’s defence may not be top notch, they are 17th in the league and under threat of relegation, Smith remains one of the fastest defenders in the game and a great addition to an FUT team if pace is the need of the hour.

CB- Kebba Ceesay (Pace- 88)

The central defensive pairing consisting of Nathan Smith and Gabonese international is unlikely to be outpaced on the game with the 28-year-old also boasting at 88 pace rating on FIFA 17. Playing for Djurgardens in the Swedish league, Ceesay is on top of the pile of the fastest defenders in FIFA 17

LB- Jordi Alba (Pace- 93)

Barcelona’s marauding full-back Jordi Alba is one of the best attacking fullbacks in the game with an overall rating of 86 points. The Spain international’s quality is augmented by his pace rating of 93 which makes him almost impossible to keep up with when in full flow.

The soon to be 28-year old’s pace can be exploited for its attacking utility as well as coping with nimble, speedy wingers on the video game series.
