FIFA 23 lengthy players

FIFA 23 lengthy players is a funny phrase, right? Lengthy is just an overlong way of saying the word ‘long’, for starters, but then also who would ever describe a human being as long or lengthy? Well, I sure wouldn’t, but then I don’t develop a multi-billion dollar yearly franchise, so what the heck do I know?

Anyway, we’ve looked into it, and there are in fact three new types of FIFA 23 players – lengthy, controlled, and explosive. Head below for a description of each, then a nice long list of lengthy players just for you. Or, for something else, check out our FIFA 23 ratings, FIFA 23 crossplay, and FIFA 23 Switch guides.

FIFA 23 player types

The new acceleration system in FIFA 23 has categorised players into three types based on how they accelerate.

FIFA 23 lengthy players are a little slow off the mark, but once they get going they can really hoon it – they are tall and strong and incredibly sought after.

FIFA 23 controlled players

Most FIFA 23 players are controlled – this means that they accelerate in a pretty standard way.

FIFA 23 explosive players

Shorter players are often explosive – fast to accelerate at first but slowing after time, they are great and getting off the mark.
