Here are the best FIFA 23 players with explosive AcceleRATE you need to add to your Ultimate Team, as longtime players have found a major niche.
Since the debut of FIFA 23, tall players have dominated Ultimate Team matches on next-gen consoles. This is mostly due to the new Accelerate feature added to the franchise.
AcceleRATE defines a player’s running style and each player can boast of either a long, explosive or controlled attribute. While tall players dominated the early FIFA 23 meta, a major nerf knocked them from the top spot entirely, leaving the door open for explosive players to take over.
Find out which explosive players you need to photograph in FIFA 23’s FUT.
