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.
| Name | OVR | Program |

| Patrick Vieira | 99 | TOTS Icon |
| Michael Ballack | 98 | TOTS Icon |
| Schweinsteiger | 98 | EURO 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. Weβll try to regularly update this list of the best CMs in FC Mobile 24.

If u have latest one then, gullit is best, if not can choose Zidane or gullit 99-101 version. They both are good
Mark says
Best midfield CM pair between Zidane Gullit Viera and Milincovik please π
Subarno Sarkar says
I have been using Hakan ΓalhanoΔlu (102 ovr Trick or Treat 25 Player) for a while. The card has great stats (5β weak foot, long shot, ball control, passing) but on the field it reflects it’s average physical and his terrible stamina more. Even though he has 4.5 stamina he can’t even run for the whole first half. I want to replace him with a solid cm; need suggestions:)
Ang says
How about 100 retro xavi and 100 zaire-emery anniversary?

STYLES_FCM says
please admin, can you make a post about what skill points are best for players at every position, and i think you can consider adding to the top 10 best players by position posts too
like the post above
admin says
Thanks for the suggestion. We may add it in the future.
Redjohn says
What about Mac Allister Dinasties (99 OVR)?
STYLES_FCM says
Hmm, currently have ballack @101 (getting him to 102 soon tho), i also have wirtz@101(CAM) and i use both 4-3-3 attacking and 4-2-4
but, my other cm(valverde TOTY @ 99, red rank) still performs but i need someone to replace him with 99 ovr card still pulls my ovr back
who is cheap that i can get to replace valverde that will fit both 4-3-3 attacking and 4-2-4
admin says
Any Gullit card will perform well. Just buy the one that fits your budget.
Razuane says
96 Dynasties Lopez should be it the cheap beasts although hes 15 million he is great for long passing and short passing
Rosyid says
Saya memiliki cm gulit ikon 90 saya duetin dengan Viera 91 kemahiran box to box semuaa
Apakah ada yg salah alam duet dan kemahiran
admin says
Tidak ada yang salah. Tapi OVR 90 & 91 sudah benar-benar ketinggalan untuk progress game saat ini.
Ezical kullu says
Retro Xavi good or not?
ali jauny says
what about gerrard icon chronicles 98 ??
jobe says
its a bad card. use it in daily picks.
Kaulik says
Bro Gullit(99 ovr) and De Bruyne(99ovr) is good combination for 4-2-4 formation??? Should I change the pair ???
admin says
Thatβs too offensive. Replace de Bruyne with Vieira or Toure, and you’ll be good.
Kaulik says
Two defensive midfielder is good for 4-2-4 formation???
admin says
Two balanced midfielders or one defensive and one offensive midfielders is a better setup.
roww says

admin says
We’ve updated it.
David says
What about Gerrard ovr 98?
admin says

Kuyt 96 is a beast he scores or assist almost like every match . He helps out in attack and defense because he’s high on both.
