how can you not love dirk?
What about those bastards Masher and Torres excluding Dirk from their FIFA games?
no real surprises about pepe being the strongest or babel being the quickest or gerrard having the hardest shot.

Most fans these days seem to think almost all players are snail-paced. You have to be lightning fast not to be branded 'slow'! It's become a joke.

Babel is very fast, but he doesn't use his pace well, and he isn't that fast on the ball, so he often doesn't look particularly fast. For instance, he often slows down or stops to bring the ball under control, then he's left facing a recovered defender.

It's a bit of a surprise Babel isn't the club DJ.

babel tries to beat players with skill rather than pace but you sometimes wonder if he'd be better serves just booting the ball ahead of the defender and then striping them ala walcott or young neither of whom even ATTEMPT to beat players with skill.

ha.
I'd give it to Degen, but he'd probably get scratched or something.

It would be interesting to know over what distance those sprint tests are. I'd have thought Fernando was faster out of the blocks though Babel would take some time to get going, though have a faster top speed.
