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.

Who better Gerrard or Ballack
Maybe Gullit
Gerrard can help out in defense and in attack while ballack whil help out in defense more because he’s a defensive midfielder
Add 106 OVR Riqui Puig he is a beast
Please add the new Top Prospects players
Are you going to do lists for every position?
Please put Retro Stars Aouar in this list!He is extremely great
How about Modric in Atlantis？
What about Maddison 101?
Why 99 rated Henderson is not in this list???
91 OVR TOTSSF Naïngolan.
Solid in defense, although his pace isn’t as high as the likes of Milinkovic-Savic (around 3 less), his shooting makes up for that, absolute beast at long shots and dribbling, better than Milinkovic in my opinion.
Your opinion is right. He should be on the list…
Where is Vierra? He has power header as attribute.. with tha height he will provide variety.
I think Vieira better than most of these players
Santi Cazorla? I have him at 97+14 and he’s beast
They put Cazorla
90 TOTSSF Nkunku is so much better than BLR 92 Neuhaus.
You should add nkunko
97 Europa League Moutinho?
Pls update with TOTSSF
101 Eggestein? He is powerful
update
kroos card showed up with ovr 95 and better state
in my opinion saul is not good as state
yes he is just one of the best player
Yes u are right…
Isnt wijnaldum 88 UCL any good!?? Wondered why he couldnt take the place on that chart!! Even at the bottom of the list
Is savanier easter good?
Yes near Gerrard
Can you consider Demirbay 93 from Carniball while updating the list ?
93 Demirbay Carniball is also good. Performs well for me.
Any reviews about 96 Serdar BLR ?
what about Rakitic from UCL 16 ?
I use serdar… Overall his pace and dribbling skills help me get ahead of defenders .. he also msnges to beat the offside trap and plays forward… If ur team is focusing on a Bundesliga cm .. go for it
I use Neuhaus. He has 99 pace at 92 + 11 and has very good long shot and curve. Another good choice if you want a Bundesliga CM.
How about a 85ovr Phil Foden from program UCL Round of 16 with the skill boost of passing?
Isn’t Saul from Carniball the best CM in the game right now? Or where should he be placed in this rating?
Yes.. He is one of, if not the best, CM at this moment.
why there’s no Sanson Star Pass on the list? I think he have a great stats
LM and RM please….
Can I pair Rooney from Thanksgiving with Vardy from Scream for Vsa with 4-1-2-1-2 narrow formation
Martial is better than Vardy
How is boxing day Ward Prowse
what about Youri Tielemans heartbreak 92?
what do you think about kessie LNY ?
Best rm in the game pls?
best lm in the game, pls?
What about Saúl? From carniball? Needed some advice, I have 11k gems and am planning to go for Saúl, haven’t missed on energy even once till now, should I?
Don’t worry, they will add daily match for 12 Blank Masks so a 97 OVR player is very possible for f2p
I have a feeling he will be amazing
should steven gerrard be on the list?
TOTY De Jong (94 OVR) or UCL 16 Rakitic (93 OVR). Which is better at CM in a 3-5-1-1 Formation.
He is extraordinary… Juzz go for it
How about TOTW Milinković-Savić? Which version would be better if trained up?
Please guide me how to make millions of coins easily in Fifa Mobile 20… Please please. I like this page so much as I find authentic guides from here. Please help me.
* best RM to buy from Epl please reply
Greenwood UEL
Cdm please
ndombele 89 LNY CDM
Rice 88 Carniball
I have made a Bundesliga squD I am pretty upset with it I wanna change my league which league shud I build up and How much it would cost me my current ovr is 103(170)
Premier League, LaLiga and Serie A are the most recommended because of the large selection of high OVR players in the market.
should i pair Arthur with Herrara or UEL SMS in a 4-3-3 attack? Currently have LNY Ndombele out of position next to Arthur. Trying to build a la liga/serie a team
Arthur is having pace 83. Does that affect his gameplay . I am thinking whether to buy him or not .
Keepers please

Can you post the best CAM PLZ??
Coming soon
Oxalade is in my team he is not good
Need suggestion on right back. Please make one
Luckily the I have the best 3 midfielders in my squad 😎
KDB
De jong, and
Oxl
I think it should have n golo kante
Kante is CDM
Yes, Kante , and I have sold Chamberlain..He is not the 2nd best , even Federico Valverde is better, 91 ovr 11 skill boost [box to BoX 118 Short passing , 116 Long passing , 76 sliding tackle , speed is good , ball control marking , long shots , finishing everything is good , only thing is that physical is not good ]
True even boxing day ward Prowse is better
What about boxing day winks
He is decent. But 3 weak foot rating and low shooting stats aren’t worth the price.
You are doing fantastic work & I daily visits your website, keep it up.
&
I am using UEL Milinković-Savić since his introduction. He is really good at intercepting the passes & for scoring those near post headers. 👍👍👍
What about CAM and CDM?
Will add it on the another post.
What’s the best pair of the above for 5-2-2-1?
I already have UCL Ox, UEL Milinkovic-Savic and Freeze Delaney.
What rating should I train SMS and Delaney to if any of them should go with Ox?
I am more inclined to use Ox and Delaney because both have High/High workrates, what would you suggest?
PS: I’m trying to reach H2H masters for Zidane
on H2H, SMS is one of the best. I suggest you to pick SMS over Delaney.
Ok, I think I will try all 3 with 4-3-3 what ratings shoud I train them?
Yes
What ratings do I train them??
Ward prowse??( Boxing)
That card is better than Oxlade-Chamberlain in midfielder stats
86 Zakaria
Need a list for Left Backs desperately.
Please make one.
Okay, we will. It’s on the waiting list.
thanks alot
means a lot
