FIFA 21 ratings: Kylian Mbappe, Adama Traore and Alphonso Davies are the fastest players but how do they compare to real top speeds?

The fastest players on FIFA 21 have been revealed with some familiar names at the top of the list.

EA Sports have released the player ratings for the latest edition of the hit video game series ahead of its launch next month and speed is an important factor in the game.

Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe, Wolves forward Adama Traore and Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies were all given a pace rating of 96 and shared top spot.

The trio are well known for their speed and it is not surprising they are at the top of the list.

Manchester United winger Daniel James wowed fans last season with his explosive pace following his transfer from Swansea and he has been given a rating of 95, just one behind the top three players

He’s been rewarded with a rating of 94 in FIFA 21.

Liverpool’s Sadio Mane is also among the top 20 ranking, also with a 94 rating.
