However, the real life sprint table couldn't be any more different, according to research by esports bookmaker unikrn.

Man City full-back Kyle Walker was the fastest recorded Premier League player last season. He and second-placed Traore are the only players from the FIFA 21 chart to have done it in real life too.

Elsewhere, Man United trio Mason Greenwood, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Fred make it into the top ten, while there are no Liverpool players in the real life charts despite Mohamed Salah and Mane's appearance in the FIFA 21 Premier League sprint rankings.

Walker's City teammate Raheem Sterling isn't in it either but Phil Foden is, while Ainsley Maitland-Niles gets in but Arsenal captain Aubameyang doesn't.
