FIFA 18: 20 Fastest Players

7. Gareth Bale (Real Madrid)

That poor Welshman Gareth Bale was pushed out of the Top 10 in time for FIFA 18's release by EA and ranked 17th overall in the Top 100. To put that into perspective, he came in 6th last year, meaning the Real Madrid winger had a rotten season in EA's eyes. That doesn't mean he's not one of FIFA's fastest.

Bale is the 5th player examined to have 94 for pace, and yet he'd probably cost more on his own than the other quartet combined. That just shows how important other stats are, and the ex-Spurs man has something to shout about in almost every category other than defensive work.

86 dribbling, 87 shooting, 84 passing, 76 physical and 4-star skill moves make up his other stats. Bale has the world at his feet in FIFA 18 and could easily become one of the game's best players in a season or 2. He's also the highest rated player on this list at 89 overall, and can play anywhere across the front line.

Take that, Ronaldo.
