Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappé is renowned for his blistering pace, but in season 2023-24 he has plenty of competition in the speed stakes Find out which Ligue 1 Uber Eats players have hit the highest speeds so far this season, after nine rounds of competition.
Andy Pelmard is breaking the speed charts. Flashing by at 36.14 km/h, the Clermont Foot 63 defender is the fastest player this season after nine rounds of Ligue 1 Uber Eats.
