Pepe's pace on EA Sports FC 24 has left fans in disbelief

Pepe's card on EA Sports FC 24 has baffled fans online, with one stat in particular causing an almighty stir.

The former Real Madrid man will turn 41 in February and has been playing professionally for over 20 years now.

He left Los Blancos four years ago but is still going strong and turned out for Portugal at the 2022 World Cup.

Back at Porto for a second spell during which he is captaining the side, you'd be forgiven for thinking Pepe had been given a serious downgrade.

Yet, remarkably the centre-back still has an 81 rating on the game and only two Porto players are higher than him this time around.

But the big talking point is the fact that although he's not getting any younger, Pepe still has a highly respectable pace score of 75.

It has gone down two places from last year but is seven scores higher than his best ever card in FIFA 17, which was 88 rated.

Pepe is therefore faster than the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Harry Kane and Matthijs de Ligt to name a few.

He will surely have no qualms about the grades he's been given but another veteran of the game, Jamie Vardy, might not be best pleased.

Vardy's card on EA FC 24 is being described as "the biggest downgrade in history" after he saw his overall score drop down to 78 from 85 following Leicester City's relegation to the Championship.

But even more shockingly, his pace has decreased from 84 to 76 and his physical is now 67.
