Pace is King in FIFA 23

When FIFA 23 launched it looked like the developers had struck the right balance between pace and power, and for the first time in years, speed wasn't the most important attribute players were looking for!

This led to a lengthy meta, where bigger, less agile players were prioritised, such as Erling Haaland and Virgil van Dijk.

However, that didn't last long, with updates adjusting the gameplay and the community reverting back to a meta where pace is king.
