Who are the best midfielders you can find in Fifa 19? 

Abusing the statistics sometimes we take the number of scores one player made so far as the main indicator of his skill. Is surely relevant, but all the last 10 years suffered for me an ideal dominance of strikers (following the Ronaldo-Messi bipolarity) that obscured a lot of players.  

But what about those spitting up their lungs along the flank? Or those fighters in middle positions, that have less time than others to fix their messy hairstyle, when the ball is gone? I know most of you football lovers understand how deeply midfielders are the real centre of the game. 

Here’s my list of the top 15 central midfielders in Fifa 19, organized by specific positions: 5 centre midfielders (CM), 5 centre defensive midfielders (CDM), 5 centre-attacking midfielders (CAM).

 

Top 5 Best CM

1. Luca MODRIC

Luka Modric 2018 - Croatian Maestro 

Considered one of the best midfielders of his generation, Luka Modric ended the dominance of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, being consecrated in 2018 with the Ballon d’Or.

The midfielder with the best passing skills in all the game, Toni Kroos is a certainty among the pitch, working as a metronome for all his comrades, managing every ball that passes through his feet as a real maestro, keeping in all the matches a super-high passing accuracy, and occasionally bombing with the right foot.

He’s a real beast. Tall, strong, quick, technical.

Paul Pogba is part of the golden generation of French footballers that won the title of the World Cup. He’ll take the keys of midfield, and bring your team to higher levels.

4. Sergej MILINKOVIC-SAVIC

Sergej Milinković-Savić - A monster

In my personal opinion among the best midfielders at this moment. Milinkovic Savic has shown outstanding abilities in Serie A during the last seasons, demonstrating to be maybe the most complete central midfielder of the tournament. Watch the video if you don’t know him well, and maybe you’ll understand why the last summer his value was skyrocketing (above 100 million)

  • He is young and with a large potential
  • Is extremely powerful among the pitch due to his strength
  • Really dangerous with incursions in the penalty area, due to shooting skills but even more for his headers 
  • He’s a really good dribbler and has an excellent technique 
  • Is really a complete midfielder. No way you’ll regret it.

 

5. Fabian RUIZ

Fabian Ruiz World Class! Skills and goals

Some say Barcelona wants this wonderkid among the Camp Nou. For what he has shown in the last few years in Napoli surely it has to be listed among the top-midfielders if considered the age: excellent technique, great passing ability, able in both attacking and defending.

  • Quick and able to dribble 
  • Able in the air due to his height 

 

Top 5 Best CDM

1. N’Golo KANTE

N’Golo Kante - Crazy Tackles & Defensive Skills

He’s one of the players that form the current French golden generation. Invisible during most part of the game as much as fundamental, N’Golo Kanté is a real hyena in the middle of the pitch. Able to recover thousands of balls, his work could be maybe not so noticeable, but the moment you have him playing for your team, you realize how much money you wasted in buying all those redundant strikers

GENERALS

  • AGE                                        28
  • HEIGHT and WEIGHT            168 CM – 72 KG

SPECIALITIES

  • TACTICIAN 

Why Kanté is the best defensive midfielder in Fifa 19:

  • With an amount of stamina out of this world (97) you can let him run all around during all the 90 minutes, even more
  • Yes, is small. But with 92 of balance, he will win tackles with players double his size
  • His ability in tackling gonna surely be one surprise for the benefits it brings
  • The excellent mental skills assure deep concentration during the match and no surrender 

 

2. CASEMIRO

Casemiro - The Tank - Defensive Skills Beast Mode

"Ahhh, Casimiro. He saved my life. I might play until I'm 45 with this guy by my side", said once Marcelo. A real vicious dog in the midfield, he was part of the Real Madrid squad that won four Champions Leagues between 2013-14 and 2017-18. Strength and agonistic power are his characteristics ruling with his muscles among the pitch.

GENERALS

  • AGE         27
  • HEIGHT and WEIGHT            185 CM – 84 KG
  • OVERALL – POTENTIAL        86 – 89

SPECIALITIES

  • STRENGHT 
  • COMPLETE DEFENDER

Why Casemiro is my 2nd best defensive midfielder:

  • Because he is angry as hell
  • “Tackling”, “strength” and “complete defender” specialities transforms him in one of the strongest in the game when it comes to calm down some annoying offenders
  • Is still young and with several years of career in front
  • He is good with his feet, with good passing skills, and capable of long shots (81)

 

3. Marco VERRATTI

Marco Verratti - The Complete Midfielder

Passing, tackling, thinking, organizing. Verratti is in absolute one of the most complete central midfielders, with outstanding dribbling skills, and a magic right-foot that permits him to do whatever he wants with the ball. Don’t underestimate him just for his small size: he has also great tackle capacities, and is really strong, due to his low centre of mass, that gives him a really good balance.

GENERALS

  • AGE                                         27
  • HEIGHT and WEIGHT            165 CM – 60 KG
  • OVERALL – POTENTIAL         86 – 89

  • He is relatively young, so you have several years of service

 

4. Frenkie DE JONG

Frankie De Jong 2018-2019 - Johan Cruijff Successor

In Holland, they say he’s the worthy successor of Johan Cruijff, and after what they saw him doing in the last Champions League, no wonder why they have similar dreams. He surprised half the world with his European performances since fewer people were following him in Eredivise. The stingy property of Barcelona ensured his service this summer for a 75 million fee. In Fifa 19 you find him still at Ajax, cheaper than that and with a bright future in front of him.

GENERALS

  • AGE                                            22
  • HEIGHT AND WEIGHT             181 CM – 70 KG

  • LONG PASS                      84

SPECIALITIES

Why De Jong is one of the best defensive midfielders in Fifa 19:

  • He is young! And with that final overall of 90 points, in a few seasons, he’ll be terrific
  • He’s a fantastic dribbler
  • Sure satisfaction with his passing skills
  • He has also good defensive skills. If you want him to be a real monster train him a little in tackles and he won’t have any weak point

 

5. Fabinho

Fabinho Showing He is a World Class Midfielder

When it comes the time you can see Fabinho exiting his lair and begin to machinate bones, similar to a lumberjack in the woods chopping trees. One of the most terrific tacklers of this football era, Fabinho last year gained his first European title playing constantly in front of Virgil Van Dijk, creating a creepy danger area for Liverpool opponents.

GENERALS 

  • AGE                                         25
  • HEIGHT and WEIGHT             188 CM – 78 KG

  • Is the perfect one when you need a strong and physical tackler in the middle of the field
  • Matches perfectly if you have a counter-attack type of attacking
  • Combined with his defence skills, he is also a really good playmaker 
  • Technical enough to play in highly skilled teams 
  • Relatively young, useful for many seasons
  • Penalty kicker

 

Top 5 Best CAM

1. Kevin DE BRUYNE

Kevin De Bruyne - When Football Becomes Art

In my opinion the best offensive midfielder at this moment in Europe, Kevin De Bruyne exploded since Pep Guardiola put him between the ranks of his highly talented squad.

2. Paulo DYBALA

Paulo Dybala - Absolute world class player

More a wing or a false-9 (in my opinion), but in Fifa 19 his specific role is centre attacking midfielder. So I put him in the top of this list. Anyways, whatever role you choose for him, he’ll do incredible things. His amazing left foot has been the protagonist in a lot of Serie A goalkeeper’s nightmares. 

In the last season suffered the rivalry in Juventus squad and started several times from the bench. But many times he overshadowed Cristiano Ronaldo, taking Juventus on his shoulders in many occasions, inventing magic tricks while all the eyes were pointed to the Portuguese.

  • Very fast, difficult to catch 

 

3. Christian ERIKSEN

Christian Eriksen 2019 - The genius

Passed quite silently to Inter this summer, Eriksen in these years has been crucial in Tottenham. Elegant and concrete, his characteristics move enchanted several times Premier League viewers.

Deadly when there’s the need, he is a faithful representation of all the good that Spanish football has offered in the last ten years: superb dribbling, intelligent playing, fast-thinking, and able to finish.
