EA Sports FC 26 is rolling into launch week, and Ultimate Team is already bending toward raw acceleration. This is the cycle where wide runners stretch backlines, full‑backs live on recovery pace, and a single breakaway changes how you build a starter squad. With that in mind, a fresh roundup maps who actually sits at the very top this year. A fresh roundup circulating today maps who sits at the very top this year.
Who tops pace in Ultimate Team — today’s fastest cards
| Player | Club | PAC |
|---|---|---|
| Kylian Mbappé | Real Madrid | 97 |
| Karim Adeyemi | Borussia Dortmund | 96 |
| Gabriel Silva | Santa Clara | 96 |
| Vinícius Jr. | Real Madrid | 95 |
| Nuno Mendes | PSG | 95 |
| Moussa Diaby | Al Ittihad | 95 |
Those six form the spine of any pace‑first squad, whether you’re building wide for counters or funneling runs through the middle. The gap from 97 down to 95 is small enough that playstyle and chem matter as much as raw number; a winger like Vinícius Jr. (95) can feel deadlier than a central option if your patterns favor diagonal bursts, while Nuno Mendes (95) gives you a two‑way full‑back who can overlap or recover without a boost item.
For traders, expect Adeyemi and Gabriel Silva to spike early: both hit the magic 96 PAC and sit in leagues/clubs where demand outstrips initial supply. If you’re aiming low‑budget, watch the next band down (94 PAC) for cards that sneak under the price radar on day two. Pace is still king, but the top of the list is crowded enough to let you draft around price and chemistry rather than chasing a single card at all costs.
