Best Wingers in FIFA 23

FIFA 23 is finally live, and players have been diving into the new release in soccer’s stand-out series.

As with every edition of FIFA, every player will have a different overall rating determined based on the ratings of their skills, like Pace, Dribbling, Shooting, and more. The stats are set up by the developers, who judge the players’ real abilities on the pitch over the last year. 

Naturally, the better players you choose for a position, the better your team will be in FIFA 23. And there’s hardly a more pivotal role than a winger. In soccer, there are usually two of them on each side and they are the driving force for your squad.

With the release of FIFA 23, players can finally take a look at the best wingers in the game. If you’re looking to shape your team around fast players on your wings, or are simply curious about which players are simply the best in that position, look no further, we have you covered.

Without further ado, here are the best wingers in FIFA 23

Lionel Messi (91 Overall, Paris-Saint Germain, Argentina)

Widely recognized as the best player in the world, Lionel Messi takes the mantle of the best winger in FIFA 23. And, looking at the incredible stats, it should come as no surprise. With 81 Pace, 89 Shooting, 94 Dribbling, and 90 Passing, he’s a force to be reckoned with.

Mohamed Salah (90 Overall, Liverpool, Egypt)

The Egyptian is beloved by Liverpool fans across the world for a good reason. Mohamed Salah is one of the key reasons the club ended its Premier League drought in 2019 and won the Champions League in the same year. He’s remained in tip-top shape over the last months, rightly earning second on this list with a 90 Overall rating. 

Neymar Jr (89 Overall, Paris Saint-Germain, Brazil)

Another pinnacle of PSG, Neymar takes the third spot on the podium of best wingers in FIFA 23 with an 89 Overall rating. While he’s better than Mo Salah by one point in Dribbling and by three points in Passing, he loses to the Egyptian in Pacing and Shooting, which are generally more important.

Heung Min Son (89 Overall, Tottenham Hotspur, South Korea)

Heung Min Son is another winger with an 89 Overall rating, which makes him the fourth-best on the list of winners. The South Korean won the Golden Boot in the Premier League last season by netting 23 goals in 35 matches—the most in the league alongside Liverpool’s Salah. Son was also arguably Tottenham’s best player last season, so his brilliant card in FIFA 23 is well deserved.

Vinicius Jr. (86 Overall, Real Madrid, Brazil)

Vinicius Jr. is one of the biggest talents in soccer, and that shows in FIFA 23. He’s well-known for incredible Pace (95) and Dribbling (90), which helped Real Madrid secure La Liga and Champions League trophies last season. Those stats claim him an 86 rating overall, which is the fifth-best in the game.

Raheem Sterling (86 Overall, Chelsea, England)

Raheem Sterling was an important part of Manchester City for years. Despite changing his club for Chelsea in the transfer window, he’s still one of the best wingers in the world, with 90 Pace, 86 Dribbling, and 80 Shooting. You can’t allow your opponent to roam freely on the field when playing against a team with Sterling.

Riyad Mahrez (86 Overall, Manchester City, Algeria)

The first Manchester City player on the list is Riyad Mahrez. The Algerian isn’t as fast as other players here, but he makes up for it with incredible Dribbling (90), Shooting (83), and Passing (81). He’s definitely a formidable choice if you’re looking for someone to navigate the attack from your wing.
