Not sure how the data was taken tbh, or what circumstances.
But there's not a chance in hell that James isn't our fastest player.
Just seen it's data from one training session, so the fastest they went in that session I presume. Not just a race or a sprint to see who was quickest.
He was probably chasing his first touch.
Was that the max speed or average speed?

It wasn't a speed test, just a set of max speed results from one training session...
Imagine thinking Lukaku is faster than James.
Max speed doesn't really mean much in football terms anyway. It's far more important how quick you are off the mark - would expect James and Rashford to top the charts on that one quite comfortably.
Luke Shaw must have been at the curry mile the night before
Luke Shaw's 100% would be 44.33 km/h which is only 0.39 km/h off Usain Bolt's maximum speed of 44.72 km/h

You're right, wasn't a test just the max speed captured over a session. I'll update the title.
It depends on the position you play. Pace is important for the wide attacking players, fullbacks and one of the centrebacks. Technique, a good first touch is more important for the centre striker.
AWB looked rapid at times pre-season, that clip where he chased the Inter Milan winger all the way back down the pitch to get the tackle in
Doesn't tell the full story as different players would have been given different instructions, like Shaw being told to go at 70%, or Lukaku needing a airport runway to get up to his 36.25kph
Great. Our most expensive defender ever doesn't even make the top 24. I just want the season to end already.

Not bad for a lard@rse.
How far did they run, 5 cm?

This, for footballers, its better to have great acceleration than max speed. Messi's destructive acceleration is what makes him so lethal....and the fact he can control and finish. Lukaku moves off like Bowser's kart in Super Mario kart.
You can add Maguire to that now. 15 km/h
Looks like Romelu was training with Anderlecht again today.
- Matic and Mata faster than Shaw?!
Full speed means little in football, agility, balance and acceleration are all more important.

Talking of slow that joke has already been made.*
*I do realise the hypocricy of calling you slow and then replying nearly an hour later though.
I play Lukaku on the right wing on Fifa, he's good when you do a cross field diagonal ball
When you say "Speed test" do you mean these are the results after they've dropped a few tabs each?
