Pierre Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund)
The striker once covered 30 metres in an incredible 3.7 seconds. This is faster than Usain Bolt ran at the start of his record-breaking 100m race in Berlin 2009. Such blistering pace off the mark is vital in the modern game, but the 185cm Dortmund player also boasts the long-striding style which helps him run past players with ease.
