FIFA 17: Five fastest players post the winter update

#5 Gareth Bale Overall: 90, Pace: 94

Bale is super quick!

It is needless to say how great Gareth Bale is in FIFA! He is an important player for club and country, and one of his primary attributes is running past defenders and pushing off those who try to take the ball away, thanks to his fiery pace and large frame.

His pace attribute has helped Bale jump from being the seventh-fastest player in the game to the fifth fastest player, replacing Jurgen Damm. He often embarrasses defenders by dribbling and running past them; one needn’t be reminded of how Bale outpaced Marc Bartra and won Madrid the Spanish Cup in 2014.

There is a reason why online gamers go crazy when they get Bale in their FIFA pack openings. Having Bale in one’s FIFA squad is more than valuable and no FIFA player would disagree with that. His perfect long touches on the ball allow him to cover large distances of the field in no time, creating open spaces which let him smash the ball into the goal.
