CDM stands for Central Defensive Midfielder. This position is part of the Midfield Players, but with more defensive tasks. This position is in front of Center Backs (CB) and is behind Central Midfielder (CM) or Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM).
In a team, CDM positions can be filled by one or two players, depending on the strategy to be implemented.
On FIFA Mobile 22, there are several formations that use CDM, the most popular and most commonly used is the 3-5-2 formation.
Important attributes for CDM players are Sprints Speed, Acceleration, Marking, Aggression, Interceptions, Stand Tackle, Sliding Tackle, and Strength. They don’t need to have good passing or shooting because they rarely show up at VSA chances. On H2H, a good Long Passing stat can be quite helpful, especially for counter-attacks.
The best Skill Boosts for CDM players are Holding and Interceptions.
Here are the best CDM players in FIFA Mobile 22.

Jack says
Which of the following totssf is best? De Jong or Busquets?
ToxicChicken says
De Jong for more attacking and passing, Busquets for defending. In my opinion De jong is better.
BagetAgent01 says
de Jong is a good CDM in H2H if you don’t mind his passing skill boost. Busquets is better for VSA as he had destroyer skill boost.
sandeep_san says
What about Sergio Busquets from community totssf?. He has ovr 100 with incredible stats for nothing??
Sikhar says
Right now Ndidi TOTSSF is the best CDM followed by Busquests and De Jong TOTSSF. They haven’t updated this list yet

Sourabh says
What about World tour raheem sterling & romagnoli?
Akshay Gupta says
Raheem Sterling is a decent RW, a faster one is always better imo.
Romagnoli is a very slow CB, there are far better CBs out now.
Fawas says
Why don’t update this;
Please update faster
BagetAgent01 says
Romagnoli is decent and will also have very good chem if you have Donnarumma as your goalkeeper. As for Sterling, he is ok but has a bad weak foot rating and for a 93 rated player, he could have better stats. I would go against Sterling.
Fp says
Torn between gueye and guendozi… has anyone tried both. Currently have gueye and Kimmich for CDM
Vishagar says
rm?
Kingmaker says
What about Star Pass Zakaria?
landvinh says

I consider LNY Ndidi as the best CDM in EPL better than Kante and Fabinho…he is everywhere on the pitch winning the ball back
Jame says
Please do CAM
S.dutt says
As carniball is here and I plan to get Quadrado and De vrij and I have got a Italy player from masquerade + I can obviously buy the 88 OVR Italy carniball player from market, I can get 4 Serie A players. I also have already 4 Serie A players.
So should I try getting Petit or buy a low OVR player and train up.
I already have 93 Kante
I currently use 433 attack but want to shift to 433 defend as I am a fifa master in H2H and want to play a defensive strategy.
Please answer admin
Jado says
What about Sergio Busquets? I use him, don’t you think he’s pretty good? I use the 92 OVR version.
admin says
He is good, but it’s a bit too slow
Singh says
Please suggest best vsa formation
3at the back/ 4 at the back?
admin says
Defensively, 352 is one of the best
Shubham says
LLR Sergio Busquets, 92
Islam says
You must update your players lists with latest events like carnaball
admin says
We will. It’s just that the Carniball players are still new, not many players use it in the game so we haven’t collected much feedback about their gameplay.
Vishagar says
What about 93 Allan?
landvinh says
what about coquelin LLR 82?
admin says
Number 5 on the list. He is a beast.
landvinh says

admin says
We will
Dumitru Boaghi says
I compared 95 Coquelin vs 95 McKennie. And they are pretty the same. Now i have 95 McKennie.
It’s worth to upgrade Coquelin and replace McKennie, or it’s worthless ?
landvinh says
