Football Manager 2023: The fastest players in FM23

Football Manager 2023: The fastest players in FM23
(Image credit: Future)

In Football Manager 2023, a need for speed is essential. While pacy players are more commonly associated with the likes of FIFA, having quick players in your attack can unlock tricky defences and switch up the tempo in your game. 

Leaders are needed in the depth of the squad, while a good finisher or set-piece specialist is integral whether you're fighting at the top or the bottom. But quick players are useful too – and whether you play with attribute masking or not, we've found every player in the game with a 17/20 or higher in their in-game attributes at the start of the game. Of course, some players improve in time – see our wonderkid list – but this is what you need from the start.
