It all begins in the middle of the park
5. In-Form Joshua Kimmich (Bayern München): Despite an overall score of 92, Kimmich's third In-Form card only reaches fifth place on the chart. His low strength in particular sours the card. There are clearly better options at CDM and this particular card is better suited for a CM role. (Credit: EA Sports)
4. What IF Mattéo Guendouzi (Hertha Berlin): Whoever grinded for the Objectives card of the Frenchman can now reap the benefits. Another card that perhaps does better outside the CDM spot, Guendouzi performs equally well as an offensive or defensive minded CM, based on your team needs. (Credit: EA Sports)
3. Headliners Leon Goretzka (Bayern München): The German's Headliners card has several advantages: it can increase even further in rating, it's reasonably priced at around 330,000 coins, and is versatile. Goretzka, like our previous picks, can be played offensively as well as defensively, depending on the chemistry style. (Credit: EA Sports)
2. FUT Birthday Emre Can (Borussia Dortmund): Really strong as a CM, but an absolute powerhouse at CDM. It is the physicality that In-Form Kimmich lacks that make Can so much better for the defense. The Shadow chemistry style brings Dortmund's midfielder to 93 OVR. (Credit: EA Sports)
1. TOTY Joshua Kimmich (Bayern München): It's the only TOTY card that qualifies for this list, so it was always going to be number one. TOTY Kimmich blows away competition with amazing values from top to bottom. Even the million coins necessary to obtain him can't shake his top dog status. (Credit: EA Sports)
Central midfielders are probably the most important part of a football team in the real world. It isn't quite the same in FIFA 21 and the CM & CDM positions are often neglected in favor of stronger defenders and strikers. Even then, a strong presence between the defensive and offensive lines can help your FUT squad immensely. We go to the Bundesliga to rank the best CM & CDM FUT cards of players that play in the German league.
