Fikayo Tomori may not be much of a gamer, let alone one who spends time on FIFA with his mates, but he does still actively keep a pulse on his FIFA ratings.
Speaking with BBC MOTD, Tomori strongly disagrees with how slow he is in the game. For Tomori, FIFA represents popular culture, and his reputation is on the line.
"I've seen my stats [...] To be fair, I'm not unhappy with it but when I see people I know I'm quicker than are faster than me on the game, that's annoying.
"I'm just going to say it. Callum [Hudson-Odoi]. He is 85 rated pace and I'm 80."
Mason Mount also took part in the same interview with the BBC, and was quick to back up the young Chelsea defender's claim of quickest in all of Cobham and SW6.
"I would put Fikayo at the top. He is probably the quickest in our team."
But all the playful banter now begs a question that needs to be answered: "Who is the fastest Chelsea player?"
In yesterday's pre-match press conference, Frank Lampard was asked to weigh in on the issue.
"Tomori is fast. He's very fast. I'm not sure about clearing it up, I remember FIFA cards when I was about 37 and my pace was 35 — so I was slower than my age, which is really strange.
"I had to take those rankings with a pinch of salt, so should Tomori. He should show it in every game, which he has done so far."

Pedro is not that quick. Pedro is not even quicker than Odoi currently.

I believe Pulisic is a contender as well looking back at the last few times he played
Perhaps but I think hes quick with ball but off it he ain't faster than Odoi or Willian

tomori is fast no doubt. but he should not argue about the ratings, as in they are just ratings and strikers are always thought to be faster than defenders
Not really

Quickest defender in the premier league probably but not the quickest player at Chelsea, that's between William and Hudson Odoi at full speed.

Yh, that's true, I thought of the same thing. The game had already come out before he broke into the scene at Chelsea, so, next season, it would probably be improved
Yh exactly.

Nothing bruh. It takes consistensy to get ratings. He will get a rating boost next season if he continues his form.
