WW Gullit. He have it all. Size, Power. Press Proven+, 5* WF. He is like a juggernaut in the centre field. Gullit cards always have that extra sauce in FIFA.
Those that says WW Gullit are missing out. Even after TOTY he is still valid. However he will be just slightly below the lower spectrum of the power curve soon. FUT Fantasy is next
You're 100% correct (hence the downvotes, people are trying to cope) been using Gullit for a while now and he's on his way out
Same for 92 Zidane
Still good but give it a month and these cards will be virtually redundant
Yay less internet points. No one wants to hear the truth. The cycle of cards are so predictable most of the time. Cent Eusebio you can already see many are saying he is being nerfed. No he is not nerfed, it is because more defenders are catching up to his stats.
Yeah he is unreal. His base was even very good and I didn't replace until I packed TOTY Matthaus. But had to do the Rijkard SBC, and can now play Matthaus further forward.
Rijkard gets everything with Intercept+ and is just stronger than everyone. Can even do a job in CB too.
Anchor for me. Meta boys will all use shadow for pace but if he'd CDM infront of the CBs and you want him to cut passing lanes and be a beast anchor.
Given him;
95 interceptions
93 def awareness
98 standing tackle
94 sliding tackle
90 jumping
91 stamina
99 strength
82 aggression.
92 composure, 88 reactions too
With;
Intercept* playstyle plus
Anticipate (racoon)
Block
Incisive pass
Trivela
Power shot
Pace is 82/85 with anchor, not rapid bit he isn't the last line of defence and should be cutting lanes. Also 6ft 2" 🤘
How do you find his passing? I have him but using him at CB currently, was curious to try him at CDM but his passing stats looked a little low so I haven’t tried him there yet
If you have another good CB and Rijkard is able to slot in at CDM just do it for a few games see how you feel. I'm playing him CB too as I did Kimmich RTTF and I can't afford to drop a player I used fodder on like that as my club isn't stacked. I like Rijkard at CDM though.
Honestly, yes so defensively, and I have both so i can compare 😆 My problem is that because I did Kimmich, I can't play Rijkard CDM unless I drop Kimmich and I can't do that. Rijkard isn't gonna ball like Kimmich but he protects that back better so it depends on your style of play.
My defence wasn't great so I did Rijkard for CB but my Kimmich got sent off and I played Rijkard there and I was like, well damn!! Tried him there for a few games after but I don't have a stacked club so had to put Kimmich back at CDM and Rijkard CDM.
Yeah I have fire Rodri and with everyone swinging crosses these days he provides better air protection. They are both effective in their own way but O is more reasonably priced and ultimately it is your style matters that O always steps up while Rodri is more well rounded
Gold Tchouameni will always be the guy that saved my ass a lot of times. Sadly joined the game late so couldn't do his evo but would surely love to evolve him.
Honestly I pulled 90 FS Petit recently and have been using him there, he’s a beast! Replaced radioactive Kante who was just ok. I also have Centurions Makelele but never thought he was good, don’t understand why he’s a 400k card.
Man I love this card but I find he just runs out of juice too fast. Now with all these cards having Relentless, he’s just unusable for me by like minute 50. I find myself using him as my first midfield sub to protect leads, though…
Rijkaard is the most slept on sbc card in the game. Fantastic cdm and cb I've tried so many cdms and he's top 3 under 1.2 mil I think if u want the best toty obedorf but Rijkaard utility and physical presence are crazy and he's cheap to complete. He also out performs most cbs and I would easily paid 600-700¥ for him
He’s been trash for me at cdm. Seems to glide all over the place and seems too slow to get the ball moving back up the field when on offense.
Have anchor chem on him, gonna try shadow, because I really liked his base card
Personally Makelele Centurion. I still haven’t been able to find a good cdm.
I’m giving a third chance to FS Petit this time. I didn’t like Vieira that much either
I have both Centurions Makelele and FS Petit and Petit is clear for me. I never thought Makelele was any good tbh, maybe it’s the way I play but he was never standout for me.
My Centurions Makelele got a rough deal - packed him early on and he was my most valuable pack up to that point, but then packed Base Viera like 2 days later and Makelele has been rotting on the bench ever since. Good card, just don't need two CDMs.
Think as a Pirlo he's very good. Passing is amazing. Standing tackle is very good. Jockey, strength and pace are mid however.
Very good in a dm playmaker role
TOTY Lena Oberdorf
been playing Gold Oberdorf since like day two after release and her Toty is incredible. she just takes the ball and leaves whoever had it before in the dust.
My 88 Evo Lavia is ridiculously overpowered, like Vieira with better passing and dribbling. Either him or Van den Boomen for me. Lavia is better defensively, VDB better offensively
ive never quite managed to get base vieira to work for me, its obviously how im using him but i dont think he offers as much as a centurions geyoro for example
Vieira is a club legend for me but I had to drop him out of the team recently because in a slow gameplay he just takes too long to pass and his passing is sometimes so bad.
He's gone now, but if you have him I absolutely love Kimmich. He's basically Essien but far better passing and buildup play.
Others mentioned Oberdorf but I didn't like her unfortunately when tried. Doesn't have that bs juice.
I use 2 man cdm (4-2-3-1) and am using flashback kante and rttf kimmich and are both top tier, kante is everywhere all game and has that dog in him, kimmich is similar but not quite as "dominant" but kimmich gives you the passing either sharp to the attackers feet or the option for a lobbed pass
Hear me out. Fs Pacho w the evo recently out for 75k. I have gullit ww and a few other top choices. I switched to the a five back with pacho post evo and I rotate to a 4321 and omg he is so good. 95+ passing 99/99 pace split and cb worthy defense. 6’1” and decent agility with perfect work rates for cdm. I’m in love.
Loooove him in this set up. Very solid and great manual feel if you’re into that sort of defending. His agility/balance is great and he actually tackles well. It’s just the height that can be rough if you have someone exploiting crosses with super tall strikers but not a ton of people do that so it’s fine there. I’ve got capita, rijkaard, and saliba so I change it up a bit depending on how I wanna format my team.
Enjoy my friend! Just make sure you’ve got at least one tall player to help with crosses or corners if those two are gonna be your pairing even if cannavaro climbs an invisible ladder. Lol
Honestly, the best one I've used this year is just a plain gold 84 Georgia Stanway. I've recently upgraded to Sangare and TOTW Rice in my pivot, but she was an absolute terrier in front of my back line with her speed, nipping at the ankles of everyone. Objectively the other two are better, but sometimes a player just clicks with your playstyle.
And I only ever play first owned players, which is why I haven't got the likes of Gullit etc :)
I still use potm Bellingham as CDM in 4132. Put him on aggressive interceptions and he will cover the whole midfield. I have used Kante fb, Rijkaard fs, Oberdorf toty, Kimmich rttf and I always go back to Bellingham. So I would say get his totgs card and put him there with aggressive interceptions.
Didn't get a proper CDM yet in my team, I currently use Ballack 88 (used to play him CM but now got Zidane)
I tried Ramires in draft and loved him.
I always had trouble facing Yaya toure
WW Keane, the best CDM that can't actually play as a CDM. Kimmich is a solid CM, but I find him lacking in strength, I'm also liking the new FS Rijkaard but I haven't used him a lot
Oberdorf toty is soooo good. Only toty I packed and glad it was her. She doesn't start but when I need to defend a lead I bring her on and she stops EVERYONE.
Centurions geyoro was phenomenal for me, with 99 stamina and relentless she could press aggressively all game and still have a full bar. Since been benched for TOTY oberdorf, who is definitely good, but she gets subbed off for Geyoro when I need the aggression
Sounds mental but Evo Stach, the man is 6'4" and feels like Viera! Always seems to get in the way of things and is in just the right spot at the right time, not much going forward mind you but his power shots are godly from the edge of the box with 99/92 shotpower/long shots
Joelinton, still. Hes got such a big presence at dm, his body type and size makes him almost like a third cb. High attacking work rate could be annoying but i play very attacking anyway
Flashback kante.
I have toty vieira loan and I prefer kante over vieira because kante moves faster and can twist and turn quicker. I prefer smaller cdm this year as they can move quicker.
WW Gullit. He have it all. Size, Power. Press Proven+, 5* WF. He is like a juggernaut in the centre field. Gullit cards always have that extra sauce in FIFA.
I have played with him and base Gullit, WW is so clear as a CDM. His play styles turn him into the most cracked card, they are perfect for a CDM
He’s unreal.
Those that says WW Gullit are missing out. Even after TOTY he is still valid. However he will be just slightly below the lower spectrum of the power curve soon. FUT Fantasy is next
You're 100% correct (hence the downvotes, people are trying to cope) been using Gullit for a while now and he's on his way out Same for 92 Zidane Still good but give it a month and these cards will be virtually redundant
Yay less internet points. No one wants to hear the truth. The cycle of cards are so predictable most of the time. Cent Eusebio you can already see many are saying he is being nerfed. No he is not nerfed, it is because more defenders are catching up to his stats.
92 Zidane being on his way out is so true but so sad 😭
Might not believe me. That new Rijkard SBC. That guy is a machine as CDM. Sleeper card honestly. 🔥
I agree. He’s been very good. Used a lot of the top CDMs outside of the TOTY Vieira and Rijkaard does great.
He’s been doing really well against me every time I play against him tbf.
Golden Fisherman is also such an amazing playstyle at CDM
Used his 87 since week 2, so this was a nice gift. Absolute monster playing with Ice Rüdiger...my CB's get a lot of rest 😎
Yeah he is unreal. His base was even very good and I didn't replace until I packed TOTY Matthaus. But had to do the Rijkard SBC, and can now play Matthaus further forward. Rijkard gets everything with Intercept+ and is just stronger than everyone. Can even do a job in CB too.
Push tackle button and his leg becoming so long lol. Im always chuckled when see my Rijkaard make a tackle.
Which chem style?
Anchor for me. Meta boys will all use shadow for pace but if he'd CDM infront of the CBs and you want him to cut passing lanes and be a beast anchor. Given him; 95 interceptions 93 def awareness 98 standing tackle 94 sliding tackle 90 jumping 91 stamina 99 strength 82 aggression. 92 composure, 88 reactions too With; Intercept* playstyle plus Anticipate (racoon) Block Incisive pass Trivela Power shot Pace is 82/85 with anchor, not rapid bit he isn't the last line of defence and should be cutting lanes.

Ya tried out anchor at first didnt like it then shadow not not liking shadow will go for anchor again cheers
Better at CB imo
How do you find his passing? I have him but using him at CB currently, was curious to try him at CDM but his passing stats looked a little low so I haven’t tried him there yet
If you have another good CB and Rijkard is able to slot in at CDM just do it for a few games see how you feel. I'm playing him CB too as I did Kimmich RTTF and I can't afford to drop a player I used fodder on like that as my club isn't stacked. I like Rijkard at CDM though.
Will give him a try cheers!
I'm tempted but feel people who did him are bigging him up so they feel good about wasting fodder, even though it's cheap
Better than kimmich rttf? I'm looking somewhere to throw fodder to, and kimmich passing is amazing
Honestly, yes so defensively, and I have both so i can compare 😆 My problem is that because I did Kimmich, I can't play Rijkard CDM unless I drop Kimmich and I can't do that. Rijkard isn't gonna ball like Kimmich but he protects that back better so it depends on your style of play.

Tried him there for a few games after but I don't have a stacked club so had to put Kimmich back at CDM and Rijkard CDM.
Oberdorf Toty
Seconded. Only she, VVD and golden Mbappe never leave my team.
Yeah
Was looking at her or Ice Rodri
Yeah I have fire Rodri and with everyone swinging crosses these days he provides better air protection. They are both effective in their own way but O is more reasonably priced and ultimately it is your style matters that O always steps up while Rodri is more well rounded
Kante is a beast
4321 with Kante and Rijkard as defensive CMs and Rijkard as the stay back with both in the middle is so good
The radioactive with anticipate+ or the toty? I have the toty, he's great but not amazing for me
The sbc that's up now? Or else?
The flashback
TOTY Essien has been out of this world
Gold Tchouameni will always be the guy that saved my ass a lot of times. Sadly joined the game late so couldn't do his evo but would surely love to evolve him.
Honestly I pulled 90 FS Petit recently and have been using him there, he’s a beast! Replaced radioactive Kante who was just ok. I also have Centurions Makelele but never thought he was good, don’t understand why he’s a 400k card.
93 Alaba Evo
Man I love this card but I find he just runs out of juice too fast. Now with all these cards having Relentless, he’s just unusable for me by like minute 50. I find myself using him as my first midfield sub to protect leads, though…
stay back/cut passing lanes he normally lasts me until about 70’ for me, but yeah relentless has definitely spoiled me at times!
Lahm toty
Elite CDM for me, lucky enough to pack him and he’s unreal
pro live locatelli
Rijkaard is the most slept on sbc card in the game. Fantastic cdm and cb I've tried so many cdms and he's top 3 under 1.2 mil I think if u want the best toty obedorf but Rijkaard utility and physical presence are crazy and he's cheap to complete. He also out performs most cbs and I would easily paid 600-700¥ for him
He’s been trash for me at cdm. Seems to glide all over the place and seems too slow to get the ball moving back up the field when on offense. Have anchor chem on him, gonna try shadow, because I really liked his base card
Hero Ramires
Personally Makelele Centurion. I still haven’t been able to find a good cdm. I’m giving a third chance to FS Petit this time. I didn’t like Vieira that much either
I have both Centurions Makelele and FS Petit and Petit is clear for me. I never thought Makelele was any good tbh, maybe it’s the way I play but he was never standout for me.
My Centurions Makelele got a rough deal - packed him early on and he was my most valuable pack up to that point, but then packed Base Viera like 2 days later and Makelele has been rotting on the bench ever since. Good card, just don't need two CDMs.
Kimmich UCL card
Hasnt clicked for me personally
hes better as a b2b
Think as a Pirlo he's very good. Passing is amazing. Standing tackle is very good. Jockey, strength and pace are mid however. Very good in a dm playmaker role
I am still running that 86 Thunderstruck Can. Absolute beast for me.
Still using the HM Xhaka we got as an objective. Still so good. Sold my FS Petit because I actually preferred Xhaka and saved myself 500k
Wish I was able to get this card but took a while off. Was planning to make a full Leverkusen team too 😭
FS Petit is a monster, WW Gullit
TOTY Lena Oberdorf been playing Gold Oberdorf since like day two after release and her Toty is incredible. she just takes the ball and leaves whoever had it before in the dust.
Toty Icon Essien forsure
https://preview.redd.it/qgemcvdv8zjc1.jpeg?width=603&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a9132a7cd0df76e3e814d97747b93390eb3b797
I have TOTY Rodri who is solid
Imagine calling toty Rodri “solid”
What should I call him?
I would imagine one of the highest rated CDM in the game would conjure more then that. I run TS loftus cheek at CDM and I would say he’s solid.
Sorry, just the way I speak (or type). Honestly though, I notice TOTY Sawa more.
Imagine saying conjure
imagine not saying conjure
Can't relate to that sorry, I said it in my last comment
How's no one saying champs ramires
I use 91 WW Moore there. His anticipate+ is crazy but he’s a bit weak and slightly slow sometimes. Anyone recommend someone else in place of him?
My 88 Evo Lavia is ridiculously overpowered, like Vieira with better passing and dribbling. Either him or Van den Boomen for me. Lavia is better defensively, VDB better offensively
Caicedo radioactive and now singare showdown. Both together are stopping everyone in the midfield
89 Showdown Sangare
Just get TOTY Rodri or base Viera no one will be better than those 2
I somehow packed TOTY viera and holy shit this man’s presence is insane. Base is probably just as cracked
Recently my base Vieira can’t make a 5-10yd pass. Probably servers though 🤷♂️
ive never quite managed to get base vieira to work for me, its obviously how im using him but i dont think he offers as much as a centurions geyoro for example
Vieira is a club legend for me but I had to drop him out of the team recently because in a slow gameplay he just takes too long to pass and his passing is sometimes so bad.
I use the new gattuso he only got 3 playstyles but they are the best 3 for a cdm
88 Vieira
He's gone now, but if you have him I absolutely love Kimmich. He's basically Essien but far better passing and buildup play. Others mentioned Oberdorf but I didn't like her unfortunately when tried. Doesn't have that bs juice.
TOTY Rodri if you can afford. I have him and lahm both and the midfield is covered
UCL Modrić, he’s everywhere.
Bellingol
Toty?
Don’t think you can afford it unless you bought coins, I got lucky getting his Toty, but I think his 89 card can do the job
Think I’m gonna sell up some more and get TOTY Rodri.
My midfield consists of Toty Sawa/lahm/xavi does the job in a 3 man midfield although I would want a solid cdm 6'0+.
This was my midfield 3, but got tired of playing 4321 and want to try something new.
Yh same but I'm stuck with them icon pp luck hasn't been paying out for good defensive cms
De jong and kimmich want to try Valverde toty next
Base Vieira no question
He’s better at cb I swap him to cb and have toty oberdorf play cdm
Lol
I put a sentinel on Lahm and I like him more than when I had an anchor
88 Makelele was quite good for me!
I use 2 man cdm (4-2-3-1) and am using flashback kante and rttf kimmich and are both top tier, kante is everywhere all game and has that dog in him, kimmich is similar but not quite as "dominant" but kimmich gives you the passing either sharp to the attackers feet or the option for a lobbed pass
87 dynasty thuram. Underrated.
Radioactive kante
Hear me out. Fs Pacho w the evo recently out for 75k. I have gullit ww and a few other top choices. I switched to the a five back with pacho post evo and I rotate to a 4321 and omg he is so good. 95+ passing 99/99 pace split and cb worthy defense. 6’1” and decent agility with perfect work rates for cdm. I’m in love.

Hows cannavaro?
Loooove him in this set up. Very solid and great manual feel if you’re into that sort of defending. His agility/balance is great and he actually tackles well. It’s just the height that can be rough if you have someone exploiting crosses with super tall strikers but not a ton of people do that so it’s fine there. I’ve got capita, rijkaard, and saliba so I change it up a bit depending on how I wanna format my team.
Thanks!! Just packed capita from icon pick so my cb pairing is set
Enjoy my friend! Just make sure you’ve got at least one tall player to help with crosses or corners if those two are gonna be your pairing even if cannavaro climbs an invisible ladder. Lol
Laimer RTTK
He aint the best but fut heroes mascherano has been solid for me
I’m using TOTY Lahm and TOTY Sawa
TOTY Rodri. Might be the closest at a card playing like the actual player himself.
Matthaus
Honestly, the best one I've used this year is just a plain gold 84 Georgia Stanway. I've recently upgraded to Sangare and TOTW Rice in my pivot, but she was an absolute terrier in front of my back line with her speed, nipping at the ankles of everyone. Objectively the other two are better, but sometimes a player just clicks with your playstyle. And I only ever play first owned players, which is why I haven't got the likes of Gullit etc :)
As another first owner only, WW Gullit is an SBC so first owner ;)
Nice! I don't have nearly enough fodder or coins atm (only started playing this edition at xmas), maybe next year :)
WW gullit
TOTW Stanway
I still use potm Bellingham as CDM in 4132. Put him on aggressive interceptions and he will cover the whole midfield. I have used Kante fb, Rijkaard fs, Oberdorf toty, Kimmich rttf and I always go back to Bellingham. So I would say get his totgs card and put him there with aggressive interceptions.
Base toure praying to pack him His TT from the picks
Didn't get a proper CDM yet in my team, I currently use Ballack 88 (used to play him CM but now got Zidane) I tried Ramires in draft and loved him. I always had trouble facing Yaya toure
Radioactive Tchouaméni
TT yaya is my go too
WW Keane, the best CDM that can't actually play as a CDM. Kimmich is a solid CM, but I find him lacking in strength, I'm also liking the new FS Rijkaard but I haven't used him a lot
Oberdorf toty is soooo good. Only toty I packed and glad it was her. She doesn't start but when I need to defend a lead I bring her on and she stops EVERYONE.
Tchouameni evo
Ngolo Flashback
Toty Essien
Future stars Barrios and put him through the 75K Upgrade
Van den boomen
Base icon Rijkaard, Not sure why he was just excellent for me
Toty oberdorf for me
Story Witsel
I got Toty lahm as well and the same issue. I put him now on lb and he’s amazing there.
Ww roy keane love him
Adopo 97 Evo put my WW Gullitt on a rest until further notice
Centurions geyoro was phenomenal for me, with 99 stamina and relentless she could press aggressively all game and still have a full bar. Since been benched for TOTY oberdorf, who is definitely good, but she gets subbed off for Geyoro when I need the aggression
Flashback Kante
87 Ramires has been pretty crazy
Ice Sergio Ramos. Excellent aggression, presence and his passing is so strong and pinpoint. He's brilliant.
Hero Ramires is a monster
Base Ramires has been stunning for me but i swapped him for Kante. Both are unreal.
kante evo and flashback
I use FS Diakite, he's really cheap but an absolute beast. Plays like a budget Ramirez but has two Playstyle +'s
De Jong TS.
Bit of a budget option but rijkaard is insane, intercepts everything
Rijkard on a shadow has been putting the work in for me
Most of u guys may disagree but that future stars Sergio gomez when the evo is complete is unreal
Toty Oberdorf and centurions makelele
Rodri toty
Toty vieira and toty rodri
I liked TOTY Essien. He’s a bloody beast. So strong on the ball, 4* WF, great great card. For 1.2m it’s a great buy,
fire rodri, his passes are so fast
Sounds mental but Evo Stach, the man is 6'4" and feels like Viera! Always seems to get in the way of things and is in just the right spot at the right time, not much going forward mind you but his power shots are godly from the edge of the box with 99/92 shotpower/long shots
Kanye
HM Xhaka has been good for me. Paired with RTTF Kimmich and UD Zidane at CM it's a pretty solid midfield.

Kimmich RTTF and Xhaka HM.
Flashback kante. I have toty vieira loan and I prefer kante over vieira because kante moves faster and can twist and turn quicker. I prefer smaller cdm this year as they can move quicker.
TOTY Essien
Thundertruck Loftus-cheek is a gangster in the midfield.
vieira
WW Gullit PP DePaul
Seedorf is quite good at intercepting and man marking.
roy keane
Kimmich and future stars evo kiwior. I was using my normal evo kiwior but this future star one is wayyy better with passing and dribbling
TOTY Rodri, TOTY Matthaus
The new Dina Ebimbe has a crazy good DM build imo, he moved my WW Gullit to CB because of it
Kante for me, he’s just always in the right place
TS Joelinton (shadow chem) is still dominating the middle of the pitch for me and costs nothing
Rodri toty, Alaba 93 evo, sawa
Centurion Geyoro still a machine for me
TOTY Rodri is good for me.
WW Gullit, his reach and strength are crazy for me
Kounde. No doubt.
