Itachi is faster than Sasuke and Kakashi, Sasuke is faster than Obito, Kakashi is tied with Obito.

That wouldn't exactly give Itachi the upper hand though. Itachi would have to repel any special kunai Minato throws at a distance that Itachi might consider "too close to Itachi" for Minato to be. Then Itachi would have to outright avoid or destroy some to all of the repelled kunai just to reduce the total area to which FTG has access. I'm quite sure he is capable of multi-tasking well enough to do this, while still planning ahead, however in a situation with FTG, Minato has the upper hand until Itachi has a proper counter.

Even in Susanoo, Itachi might be vulnerable against having his chakra transported away. This is especially true since Susanoo users tend to not move around as much now that they have superior defense. Minato would attempt harder to close in by FTG and transport away Susanoo. As I said before though, I could be wrong about his ability to do that with Susanoo, just going off him transporting away other forms of chakra and nature (bijuudama, rasengan, people, etc.).

The FTG also bested Tobi (saying Tobi since that's the character played at the time) who's quite tactical himself. I'm not sure how Itachi could be prepared enough for FTG, other than knowing to stay at a distance, which he can't do forever if he wants to win this battle.

That's kind of a subjective viewpoint, I mean, Itachi didn't say it only works on "bad" guys.
