Our group chat last night was going through the fastest players to play for us. 

 

Vardy

Joachim

Dyer

De Leat

Gray

 

Any other suggestions? Kante was mentioned but I wouldn't have him in the above list for pace.

Wasn't Franz Carr pretty quick back in the day? Musa whilst crap, was fast too. 

 

Reckon the fastest I've seen was Dyer. His turn of pace was ridiculous.

2015 Season - https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2580277-the-10-fastest-prem-players

 

Statistics compiled by EA Sports have revealed that Arsenal speedster Theo Walcott has not been one of the 10 fastest players in the Premier League so far this season.

Walcott is widely considered to be one of the league's fastest players, but despite his recent good form, he is absent from the list of this season's pace-setters.

The list is instead surprisingly dominated by Leicester City players, with Wes Morgan (!), Ritchie De Laet, Marc Albrighton, Jeffrey Schlupp and Jamie Vardy all featuring.

The full list reads below:

10. Wes Morgan, Leicester City - 34.76 km/h
9. Charlie Daniels, Bournemouth - 34.76 km/h
8. Carl Jenkinson, West Ham United - 34.89 km/h
7. Mame Biram Diouf, Stoke City - 34.97 km/h
6. Ritchie De Laet, Leicester City - 34.97km/h
5. Victor Moses, West Ham United - 35 km/h
4. Marc Albrighton, Leicester City - 35 km/h
3. Billy Jones, Sunderland - 35.07 km/h
2. Jeffrey Schlupp, Leicester City - 35.26 km/h
1. Jamie Vardy, Leicester City - 35.44 km/h

Soyuncu and Daka were clocked at some of the fastest speeds in the EPL.

 

Morgan too I think?

Barnes and Choudhury on this one as well :o

Morgan, De Laet, Albrighton, Schlupp, and Vardy on this one from October 2015

 

5 of the fastest 10 recorded at that point in the season

I’m sure that Wasilewski was clocked at racking up a very decent speed over a certain distance one season.


Was that when Waz set off to break the legs of a dude who he thought was Axel Witsel? In the training ground? Turned out to be a young Hamza during his first 1st XI training session...

I worked for the company that this data comes from and its wrong for one of two reasons:

- their technology can pick up speed over extremely small distances 

- the sensors on players often "untethered" which could theoretically lead to mistakes

Think Lloyd Dyer had the quickest acceleration over short bursts I can remember. He’d be on the edge of the box, push it past the defender and still seem to make up 2 feet on him before it went out of play

Dyer was class, his pace meant he didn't need any skill to beat his man, just knock it past them like he was playing Sunday league.

Top speed is a dumb metric when looking at fastest players. It means nothing if you sustain it for about a second or it takes you ages to get there. 

 

You want to be looking at 10, 20, 40 and 100 meter sprint times which ultimately are never well published for professional footballers and even then they'd probably be in favourable conditions with suspicious results that'd never actually count for official records.

 

I'd be amazed if Soyuncu or Morgan actually clocked impressive 100m times compared to Vardy or De Laet at their peaks.

Loved seeing Dyer in full flight, remember going to Blackpool away and he ran 70 yards to get on the end of a cross and score. Unfortunately he was a little poor at decision making which was probably why he never quite made it at top level.
