Best FIFA 22 Midfielders we’ve found since release

Hamed Traore – CAM/CM – Sassuolo – £17m Value – 21 – One of many great young players tearing up trees for a decent Sassuolo side in Serie A, Hamed Traore is a versatile midfield player who recently had his movement stats considerably buffed.

While his Power, Defending, and some of his technical stats could use some work, they’re sure to shoot up with his shiny new 87 starting potential.

Jesus Ferreira – CAM/CF/ST – FC Dallas – £6.5m Value – 20 – An amazing deal from MLS combining great movement stats, stamina and starting potential.

In real life, if it wasn’t clear from his 2 star skill moves on a CAM, Jesus Ferreira is more athletic rather than flashy. But there’s plenty of room to grow his average dribbling and passing with 83 potential.

Aurelien Tchouameni – CDM/CM – AS Monaco – £52m Value – 21 – The value of this breakout French star keeps going up and up, alongside his potential.

With a starting overall above 80 at just 21, and a potential beginning at 88 when you start a save, prioritise training his Movement stats to supplement the 80+s he already has in tons of key stats.

Jacob Ramsey – CM/CAM- Aston Villa – £5m Value – 20 – We all know about Jude Bellingham, but Villa’s Jacob Ramsey is quickly growing into one of the hottest prospects in English football.

With a recently buffed starting potential of 88, and a frankly ridiculous value, he’s looking more and more like a tantilising prospect for a wide variety of team in FIFA 22 Career Mode.

Update: Ramsey has had his overall and value buffed to the point where he’s not as great value nowadays. Maybe consider a player whose potential has gone the other way, Xavi Simons, who is very cheap now.

Carney Chukwuemeka – CAM/CM- Aston Villa – £2m Value – 17 – Meanwhile, Aston Villa also have another future midfield star on their books. Despite having awful starting stats – with a paltry 48 stamina a particular lowlight.

Carney Chukwuemeka has a sky-high starting potential of 87, making him a real attention-demanding opportunity for road-to-glory saves over multiple seasons.

Khephren Thuram & Hicham Boudaoui – CDM & CM – Nice – Both £11.5m Value – 20 & 21 – Nice have a pair of young, great all-round CMs on their bench, either of which would be a strong pickup for a lot of different teams.

Khephren Thuram also has the added fun of being the son of French legend Lillian Thuram and brother of Marcus Thuram.

Davide Frattesi – CDM/ CM – Sassuolo – £12m Value – 21 – A great deep-lying playmaker with strong movement, passing, and stamina. You can’t really go wrong now that his potential has been buffed to 84 as well.

Orkun Kokcu -CM/CAM – Feyenoord – £27.5m Value – 20 – A key part of Feyenoord’s great run in the Europa Conference League.

his strong starting overall of 78 and starting potential of 85 mean Orkun Kokcu could get minutes either from the start or off the bench for a massive range of teams. With swathes of stats between 70 and 80, he’s a strong all-rounder.

Pedro Goncalves – CM/CAM – Sporting CP – £51.5m Value – 23 – It won’t be easy on the bank account, but if you want a ready-made wonderkid to slot into a top starting 11.

then Pedro Goncalves has great potential with a high starting overall of 81. While his stats don’t lend themselves to being overpowered on FIFA right away.

he seems very much in the Bernardo Silva, Man City-esque mould of nippy, highly technically gifted Winger/Midfielder hybrids. A realistic signing for one of the world’s richest clubs.

Alan Velasco – CAM – Independiente – £10m Value – 18 – If Thiago Alamada has been an awesome signing on FIFA for a few years now.

then Alan Velasco is a very similar proposition to Almada a couple of seasons ago. A quick and technical player, Velasco at least has decent stamina and 4-star skills from the start.

Update: Velasco has made the well-trodden trip from Argentina to MLS with FC Dallas. You’ll have to wait to pick him up now.

Mohammed Kudus – CM/CAM – Ajax – £23m Value – 20 – Despite an unfortunate injury record in real life.

Mohammed Kudus still has incredible stats across the board in FIFA, making him a quality signing and useful player for the first 11 of any team, despite his age.

Tino Anjorin – CAM/CM – Huddersfield – £1.5m Value – 19 – For a cheaper option still with 80 starting potential, take a look at Tino Anjorin in the Championship.

The best FIFA 22 Midfielders: great CDMs, CAMs, and CMs who sign up for the beginning of the season.

If you are looking to strengthen your midfield, you’ll need to get it done quickly. Here is a list on some of the most enjoyable CDMs, CAMs and CMs you could sign in the very first year in Career Mode.

Denis Zakaria – CDM/CM – Borussia Monchengladbach PS30.5m Value 24 – A costly option despite his lower grade to FIFA 22, Denis Zakaria has impressive stats all over the board that combine 80 pace endurance, stamina, strength defensive and passing skills with a remarkably six-foot-3″ frame. With the ability to put the brakes on the most powerful attackers, you can shape Zakaria further with his starting potential of 86.

Nicolas De la Cruz – – CM/CAM River Plate – PS22m Value 24 – Another costly deal, but worth every penny. Train Nicolas De La Cruz’s defense and you’ll have a great midfielder in the style of N’golo Kante in your possession. With key statistics ranging from standing tackle of 74 at the bottom of the scale to 93 stamina at top, he’s a high midfielder of the highest quality in the world of football.

Renato Sanches – CM Lille PS33m Value 23 – Following a period in the abyss of football, Renato Sanches has returned to the spotlight , boasting amazing statistics wherever you want to see them. With enough mobility to convert defense into attack effortlessly He has the Engine trait as well as four star abilities.

Alexis Claude-Maurice CM/CAM – Great – PS16.5m Value 23 – A less expensive option that’s a slightly less popular Alexis Claude Maurice is comparable to the other midfielders on the list however, he’s somewhat slower as De la Cruz, but more powerful, but not as strong as Zakaria however, he’s nipper. Improve his defensive abilities and endurance with the potential to grow his starting position by +6 and you’ll be a fantastic all-rounder. Changes: Unfortunately, since the release, Claude-Maurice’s primary role has moved from CM to CM as well as his total potential was reduced to the ground. If you’re using an older save, you can grab him however, you should look elsewhere when you’re beginning from scratch.

Jens-lys Cajuste CDM/CM FC Midtjylland – PS5m Value 21 – With a +10 potential for growth in the first 10 days and an array of important statistics on the brink of the top Jens-lys Cajuste is a great Road to Glory signing for many mid-tier clubs. With his strength, stamina as well as dribbling, passing and speed that is close to or at 80, he’s got the ability to become a full-time midfielder.

Lewis Ferguson – CDM/CM CDM – Aberdeen (Aberdeen) PS4.2m Value 21 – Another top Road to Glory option, Lewis Ferguson starts with over 90 stamina, and has a +11 potential for growth in the beginning to add to his other statistics. At only 21, he has the potential to be your midfield for many years to become.

Fabio Carvalho – CAM Fulham (PS2.6m) PS2.6m Value – 18 Who wouldn’t love the idea of a high-potential ceiling and an affordable price? While his stats for his first game aren’t the best, Fabio Carvalho has 86 starting possibilities to hopefully improve these quickly.

Kacper Kozlowski Kacper Kozlowski CMA/CM Pogon Szczecin PS3m Value – 17 If you’re looking to work with less money, yet still need a solid all-rounder that is in the middle of the field, Kacper Kozlowski offers plenty of possibilities as well as a wealth of stats that are crucial to 70.

Samuele Ricci – CDM/CM (CDM) – Empoli The price is PS2.6m Value 19 – To add a bit of Italian style in the middle of midfield with a low spending budget. Samuele Ricci has mid 70s speed and the stamina to control the game. And, despite the lower price, he’s got the potential to start at 84.
