Pace is always one of the first things players look for when building a new Ultimate Team, especially during the opening weeks of the game. The fastest players in FC 27 include superstars such as Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Jr. and Nuno Mendes.

Unfortunately, most players won’t have anywhere near enough coins to afford cards like these at the beginning of FC 27.

Using the FC 27 Players Database, we’ve focused on players who combine elite pace with an affordable predicted price and a strong EasySBC Meta Rating. This isn’t simply a list of the cards with the highest pace stat. Every featured player has a realistic chance of improving an early Ultimate Team without wiping out the whole starter budget.

Here are the best cheap fast players to consider for your first FC 27 Ultimate Team.

EARLY ACCESS NOTE Predicted prices are estimates based on FC 26 market data. EasySBC Meta Ratings currently use the FC 27 beta and may change before release.

Best Cheap Fast Players in FC 27

The best cheap pace players aren’t necessarily those with the highest pace stat. They also need suitable positions, useful roles and good enough attributes to perform in-game.

These are our standout affordable options:

Andrei Răţiu – Best Cheap Fast Fullback

Andrei Ratiu FC 27 card with 94 pace and 88.4 Meta Rating

Andrei Răţiu could be one of the best-value starter players in FC 27.

The right-back has 94 pace and an impressive 88.4 EasySBC Meta Rating as a Fullback. Despite those numbers, his predicted price is only around 1,500 coins.

Răţiu also has 81 dribbling, 74 defending and 71 physicality, so he offers more than raw speed. He should be capable of recovering against fast attackers while still feeling comfortable when carrying the ball forward.

His Romanian nationality and LaLiga links might require some squad planning, but his combination of price, pace and Meta Rating makes him one of the biggest hidden gems on this list.

Racheal Kundananji – Best Cheap Fast Striker

Racheal Kundananji FC 27 card with 94 pace and 88 physicality

Racheal Kundananji looks like an excellent early-game striker for players who want to attack in behind.

Her card has 94 pace, 80 shooting, 82 dribbling and 88 physicality. That mixture should make her much harder to knock off the ball than the average pace-focused striker.

Kundananji has an 86.3 Meta Rating as an Advanced Forward and is predicted to cost approximately 2,100 coins.

Links could be the biggest issue, but she should still be worth considering if you can fit her into your squad. There aren’t many affordable attackers who combine this level of pace and physical strength.

Jeremie Frimpong – Premium Pace at a Starter Price

Jeremie Frimpong is another 94-pace fullback with the potential to become extremely popular.

His card combines that speed with 82 dribbling and an 85.9 Meta Rating as a Fullback. He can play at right-back, right midfield and right wing, giving you several options when building your team.

Frimpong is predicted to cost around 8,700 coins, making him more expensive than Răţiu but still affordable compared to the elite right-backs.

With strong Premier League and Netherlands links, Frimpong should also be much easier to include in a hybrid squad.

Alyssa Thompson – Rapid and Well-Rounded Winger

Alyssa Thompson could be one of the better affordable wide attackers in FC 27.

She has 93 pace, 81 shooting, 78 passing and 83 dribbling. Her 85.8 Meta Rating as an Inside Forward suggests she has the attributes required to offer more than straight-line speed.

Thompson can play on either side through her left midfield, right midfield, left wing and right wing positions.

At a predicted price of around 7,300 coins, she isn’t the cheapest player featured here. However, her flexibility and balanced attacking stats could make her worth paying slightly more for.

Barış Alper Yılmaz – Strong and Versatile Attacker

Barış Alper Yılmaz looks like another very useful early-game attacker.

He has 93 pace, 75 shooting, 72 passing, 80 dribbling and 86 physicality. That combination of speed and strength could make him particularly effective when driving into space or protecting the ball against fullbacks.

Yılmaz can play at left midfield, right midfield, striker and left wing. His best role is Advanced Forward, where he receives an 85.3 Meta Rating.

With a predicted price of approximately 3,400 coins, he could be an excellent choice for a Turkish League starter squad or an affordable hybrid.

Rosemonde Kouassi – Cheap 94-Pace Winger

Rosemonde Kouassi is one of the quickest affordable players available.

Her card has 94 pace, 79 shooting and 79 dribbling. She can play at right midfield, left midfield, right wing and left wing, making her easy to move around within different formations.

Kouassi has an 85.2 Meta Rating as an Inside Forward and is predicted to cost around 2,200 coins.

Her links may make squad building slightly more difficult, but 94 pace at that price will be extremely difficult to ignore during the opening stages of FC 27.

Moussa Diaby – One of the Best Cheap Pace Options

Moussa Diaby is likely to be one of the most recognisable players on this list.

He comes with 94 pace, 76 dribbling and the ability to play on either wing. His best role is Wide Midfielder, where he receives an 84.6 Meta Rating.

Diaby’s predicted price is only around 3,300 coins, although his popularity and strong pace stat could cause his actual price to rise when the game releases.

His French nationality should help with chemistry, and he looks like a safe option for anyone who wants affordable speed out wide.

Loïs Openda – Affordable 94-Pace Striker

Loïs Openda has regularly been a popular early-game Ultimate Team striker, and his FC 27 card should be no different.

He has 94 pace, 79 shooting, 78 dribbling and 75 physicality. His 84.2 Meta Rating as an Advanced Forward makes him one of the more usable traditional strikers in this price range.

Openda is predicted to cost around 8,000 coins.

He doesn’t have the passing or skill moves of an elite attacker, but that shouldn’t matter too much if you use him to make runs behind the defence and finish chances inside the box.

Jule Brand – Best 1,000-Coin Fast Player

Jule Brand could be one of the biggest bargains in the entire FC 27 database.

She has 91 pace, 79 shooting, 83 dribbling and an 85.3 Meta Rating as an Inside Forward. She can also play at left wing and left midfield.

Despite her strong Meta Rating, Brand is predicted to cost approximately 1,000 coins.

Her pace might be slightly lower than some of the 93 and 94-pace options, but she offers a more balanced attacking card. For players starting with very few coins, Brand could be one of the smartest purchases available.

Delphine Cascarino – Versatile Cheap Winger

Delphine Cascarino is another affordable option with a strong EasySBC Meta Rating.

She has 91 pace, 78 passing, 88 dribbling and an 85.3 Meta Rating as an Inside Forward. That 88 dribbling should help her feel noticeably more responsive than many of the cheaper pace merchants.

Cascarino can play at right midfield and right wing and is predicted to cost around 2,500 coins.

She won’t be the strongest player physically, but her combination of pace, dribbling and price makes her a very interesting starter option.

Pedro Neto – Premier League Pace Option

Pedro Neto should be one of the easiest players on this list to include in a starter squad.

The Chelsea winger has 91 pace, 76 shooting, 77 passing and 82 dribbling. He can play at right midfield, left midfield, right wing and left wing.

Neto has an 84.9 Meta Rating as an Inside Forward and is predicted to cost approximately 7,300 coins.

You will be paying extra for his Premier League and Portuguese links, but that could be worthwhile if it allows you to build a stronger squad around him.

Milan van Ewijk – Premier League Alternative to Răţiu

Milan van Ewijk is another right-back worth considering if you’re working with a tiny budget.

He has 92 pace, 73 dribbling, 68 defending and 72 physicality. His 83.5 Meta Rating is lower than Răţiu’s, but a predicted price of around 1,400 coins makes him a realistic option immediately after starting Ultimate Team.

Van Ewijk also offers useful Dutch links and should have enough speed to compete against rapid early-game wingers.

Răţiu is the stronger overall option, but van Ewijk provides a good alternative if chemistry or market prices become an issue.

Best Cheap Fast Strikers in FC 27

Best cheap fast strikers in FC 27 Ultimate Team

Racheal Kundananji

Kundananji is our top recommendation because she combines 94 pace with 88 physicality and an 86.3 Meta Rating.

Loïs Openda

Openda offers 94 pace, reliable shooting and more accessible chemistry links for approximately 8,000 coins.

Barış Alper Yılmaz

Yılmaz can play as an Advanced Forward and combines 93 pace with an excellent 86 physicality.

Daizen Maeda

Maeda is predicted to cost only around 500 coins. His 92 pace and positional flexibility make him a useful option for players building their very first squad.

Best Cheap Fast Wingers in FC 27

Best cheap fast wingers in FC 27 Ultimate Team

There are plenty of affordable options available out wide:

Jule Brand

Brand is arguably the best-value winger on the list. She combines a strong Meta Rating with balanced attacking attributes for approximately 1,000 coins.

Rosemonde Kouassi

Kouassi offers 94 pace and can play on either side of the pitch for around 2,200 coins.

Moussa Diaby

Diaby is a more familiar option with excellent pace, flexible positions and useful French chemistry links.

Alyssa Thompson

Thompson costs slightly more, but her balanced shooting, passing and dribbling stats make her a more complete attacker.

Delphine Cascarino

Cascarino’s 88 dribbling makes her an interesting choice for players who value responsiveness alongside pace.

Best Cheap Fast Fullbacks in FC 27

Best cheap fast fullbacks in FC 27 Ultimate Team

Andrei Răţiu

Răţiu is the clear standout. His 94 pace, 88.4 Meta Rating and predicted 1,500-coin price make him one of the best cheap players in the entire database.

Jeremie Frimpong

Frimpong offers better chemistry links and more attacking flexibility, although he is expected to cost considerably more than Răţiu.

Milan van Ewijk

Van Ewijk is a strong alternative for approximately 1,400 coins, particularly if you need a Dutch or Premier League right-back.

Which Cheap Fast Player Is the Best?

Andrei Răţiu is our pick for the best cheap fast player in FC 27.

Finding an affordable 94-pace player is relatively easy. Finding one with an 88.4 Meta Rating and a predicted price of just 1,500 coins is much more unusual.

Răţiu should be quick enough to defend against almost any early-game winger, while his dribbling, defending and physicality are all good enough to make him more than a one-dimensional pace card.

Kundananji is our preferred attacking option, while Jule Brand looks like the best purchase for players with approximately 1,000 coins.

Final Verdict

You don’t need Mbappé, Vinícius Jr. or another elite card to add speed to your first FC 27 team.

Players such as Răţiu, Kundananji, Kouassi, Openda and Brand provide more than enough pace without using your entire starter budget. Several of them also have impressive EasySBC Meta Ratings, suggesting they could perform well beyond what their overall ratings and predicted prices suggest.

The market will change once FC 27 launches, so make sure you check the latest player prices and Meta Ratings using the EasySBC FC 27 Players Database before buying your team.
