The Best CM in the Game

Last updated July 26, 2025 195 Comments

CM stands for Central Midfielder. In football, the central midfielder role typically necessitates that the player is active in both facilitating offensive plays and bolstering the defensive line. They are crucial in transitioning the game from defense to attack and vice versa, making them key to maintaining the balance of the team on the field.

A Central Midfielder (CM) has a multifaceted role in the team. They are responsible for facilitating the transition of the ball from defense to offense, controlling the overall flow of the game, and maintaining possession of the ball.

Additionally, they need to adeptly perform through passes, take long shots when the opportunity arises, and perform various other tasks as the situation demands. This makes them a critical component of any well-rounded team.

At EA Sports FC Mobile 25, the most important attributes for CM are good Pace, Shooting, Dribbling, Ball Control, and Passing. Defensive stats like Marking, Interceptions, and Aggression are also important if you want good CM players in both attack and defense. In addition, as much as possible avoid a weak foot rating below 4.

Cheap Beast CMs

Looking for an affordable central midfielder with good gameplay? Check out the cheap beast central midfielder recommendations below.

These central midfielders have lower OVRs, but their gameplay becomes quite impressive when ranked up and trained.

NameOVRProgram
Yaya Toure100Hall of Legends Icon
Milinkovic-savic100Dynasties
Zinedine Zidane99TOTS Icon
Patrick Vieira99TOTS Icon
Michael Ballack98TOTS Icon
Schweinsteiger98EURO Icon
Socrates98EURO Icon

Please note that all CMs need to be Ranked and trained to display their best gameplay. The higher their Rank and Training Levels, the better their gameplay becomes.

You must also activate their Skills using Skill Points to maximize their stats. Central Midfielders have six types of skills to choose from: Defending, Passing, Physical, Ball-Winning Midfielder (Unlocks after Defending reaches Lvl. 3), Playmaker (Unlocks after Passing reaches Lvl. 3), and Box-To-Box (Unlocks after Physical reaches Lvl. 3). Please read the guide on Skills and Skill Points here.

EA can do buffs or nerfs on central midfielders in FC Mobile, and EA also always releases new cards along with new events, so the list above can change at any time. We’ll try to regularly update this list of the best CMs in FC Mobile 25.

If you have a good CM player recommendation besides the list above, please comment below.

    I use Barella and Pedri from UTOTS as CMs. Zico from Carnival completes my midfield as a CAM (I use the 4-3-3 offensive formation). Looking at the stats here makes me think that my mid lacks a lot of physical presence. To increase it, would you recommend me to invest in a CDM (like Touré from Ragnarok) to replace Zico (and play in a defensive 4-3-3) or to replace one of the CMs to a more physical one? I like Zico’s attacking style, but I also play with Arsenal in the PL challenge on a 4-3-3 defensive and I like it. Thanks!

      Both approaches can work, but I’d personally go with the first option. I also use a 4-3-3 Holding setup with Rijkaard as the CDM, and TOTS De Bruyne and Beckham as my CMs.

    Who should I pair my 110 Lampard with? Scholes or Alonso?

      I’d go with Alonso. Lampard and Scholes have a similar playstyle, while Alonso is more defensive, better for balance.

      Yeah, Guti has excellent passing and dribbling. But he’s a bit slow, has low physicality, and only a 3★ weak foot, which might hold him back depending on your playstyle.

      He’s technically good. Great passing and control, but his low physicality and poor stamina hold him back.

      He’s good. The only downside is his stamina and his M/M work rates.
