A single attribute does not say anything in top eleven. If your opponents attackers are not good enough, in general speed will not help them. But if they are high quality I would recommend defensive mentality and zonal marking and, if your attackers are good also, combined with counter attacks. The speed attribute has a meaning in counter attacks or on man to man with the last defender situations. On those last ones you should have noticed that the attacking player throws the ball in front of him and tries to get in front of the defender. If he does that thats the first check. Many times the attacker gets past him but the defender catches up with him halfways and either tackles him effectively or pressures him to open his control and help the keeper catch the ball. These situations mostly happen when you play offense and your defending lines are up to the center of the pitch. If you play defensive game your defenders stay always behind the ball and those situations occur more rarely. So yes, you can play effectively against fast opponents if you stay behind the ball playing defensively and try to use your attackers pace and dribbling to surprise him with fast counter attacks. I hope I helped.
