The FIFA series has always emphasized two things when it comes to left and right-wingers – pace and skills.

Speed is vital for pulling away from pesky fullbacks who are set to stay back, while the tricks can break through tightly-packed defenses and open up crossing or shooting opportunities. FIFA 22 is no different.

With this in mind, using one of the game’s top-rated players is never a bad decision. Based on EA’s official ratings, these are the best wingers in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.

Even though some players have extremely high ratings, they don’t always have the stats to make them popular among fans.

Each year, certain players have the stats that happen to fit the game’s meta, making them staples of FUT Champs and Division Rivals.

In the case of wingers, this can be because of their blistering pace, tricky skills, or a combination of all three.

These are the best meta wingers you should try in your Ultimate Team this year, including some of the special cards added since launch.
