Super Eagles: Fastest players in FC 27, ranked

The Super Eagles have never been short of pace, and EA Sports FC 27 once again reflects that strength, Afrik-Foot reports.

Nigeria has several players capable of turning defence into attack in an instant, with some of the country’s less-heralded names surprisingly ranking above established stars such as Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman.

EA’s official FC 27 ratings database puts Yira Sor at the top with 93 pace, while Prosper Obah follows at 91 and Nathan Tella at 90. Osimhen and Chidera Ejuke complete the next tier on 89.

Here are the fastest Super Eagles players in FC 27.

1. Yira Sor – 93 pace

Yira Sor is the biggest surprise at the top of the list.

The Nigerian forward has been handed a remarkable 93 pace rating, making him the fastest Super Eagles player in EA FC 27.

Sor may not have the overall rating of Nigeria’s biggest attacking stars, but his speed is on another level.

For players looking to build a rapid Nigerian attack, his 93 pace makes him one of the most intriguing cards in the country’s pool.

2. Nathan Tella – 90 pace

Nathan Tella is the second-fastest Super Eagles player in FC 27.

The Bayer Leverkusen winger has been given 90 pace, putting him firmly in EA’s 90-plus speed territory.

Tella’s 80 dribbling is also worth noting. His FC 27 profile therefore combines acceleration with the ability to carry the ball, making him one of Nigeria’s most useful wide options.

3. Victor Osimhen – 89 pace

Victor Osimhen may be Nigeria’s most feared striker, but he has to settle for third place in the pace rankings.

The Galatasaray forward has 89 pace, one point behind Tella and four behind Sor.

What separates Osimhen from some of the players above him is his overall quality.

He is rated 85 overall, making him one of Nigeria’s joint-highest-rated players, while his 84 shooting and 86 physicality give his pace far more weight in-game.

4. Chidera Ejuke – 89 pace

Chidera Ejuke matches Osimhen with 89 pace.

Ejuke’s biggest advantage is what he can do with that speed.

His 83 dribbling is among the best figures in Nigeria’s FC 27 squad, making him particularly dangerous when attacking defenders one-on-one.

5. Felix Agu – 87 pace

Felix Agu is the first defender on the list.

The versatile full-back has been given 87 pace, putting him alongside some of Nigeria’s best-known attackers.

Agu’s speed can be particularly valuable from full-back, allowing him to recover quickly when possession is lost and make overlapping runs when Nigeria attacks.

6. Ola Aina – 87 pace

Ola Aina is also rated at 87 pace.

Aina’s combination of speed and defensive ability makes his card particularly attractive.

His 79 overall rating makes him Nigeria’s highest-rated defender in EA’s current database, while his 77 defending gives him a substantial advantage over some of the other quick full-backs.

7. Moses Simon – 87 pace

Moses Simon completes another Nigerian trio on 87 pace.

Simon remains one of Nigeria’s most recognisable transition players, and his FC 27 rating reflects the acceleration that has made him a threat from wide positions for years.

His 80 dribbling also means he is capable of turning his pace into meaningful attacking actions.

8. Samuel Chukwueze – 87 pace

Samuel Chukwueze is the fourth Nigerian player rated at 87 pace.

Chukwueze’s 82 dribbling makes his pace particularly dangerous.

The winger’s ability to accelerate past defenders and take them on is reflected in a card that remains one of Nigeria’s better options for direct attacking football.

9. Ryan Alebiosu – 86 pace

Ryan Alebiosu is another defender who ranks among Nigeria’s quickest players.

The right-back has been handed 86 pace despite an overall rating of 70.

That makes his pace one of the defining features of his FC 27 card.

Alebiosu is also a genuine Super Eagles international, having made his senior Nigeria debut, so his inclusion here is not simply based on his Nigerian nationality in EA’s database.

10. Zaidu Sanusi – 86 pace

Zaidu Sanusi also clocks in at 86 pace.

The Porto left-back’s pace puts him among Nigeria’s quickest defenders and gives the Super Eagles another option capable of covering significant ground.

11. Ademola Lookman – 86 pace

Ademola Lookman is surprisingly low on the list given how frequently his speed is associated with his attacking game.

The Atlético Madrid forward has 86 pace.

Lookman’s position on this list should not be mistaken for a reflection of his overall quality.

His 83 overall rating makes him Nigeria’s third-highest-rated player behind Nnadozie and Osimhen, while his 83 shooting and 84 dribbling give him one of Nigeria’s most complete attacking profiles.
