FC 25 midfielders: Best CM, CDM and CAM
Sort out the middle of the park with the highest-rated players in football.
Creativity typically stems from midfield, so having a player that can present golden opportunities to strikers – or better yet, score a goal or two themselves – is key to having a title-winning squad in EA Sports FC 25.
With the release of the global phenomenon football simulator, we do now know what players have made it to the top.
Taking into account the likes of pace, shooting, passing, dribbling, defence and physical attributes, EA has given each football an overall rating. And like every year, there is sure to be fierce debate over who deserves to be there.
Since Jude Bellingham is acting as the cover star, the Real Madrid maestro naturally features quite prominently as one of the best midfielders in the game.
Who else will be joining him, though? Well, we have players from Barcelona, Arsenal, Bayern Leverkusen, Manchester City, Al-Ittihad, Roma and many more. All of which you will find below.
