At EA FC, you have a wide range of midfield profiles. There’s the number six, the tough guy, the all-rounder, the pace trader, the winger turned CAM and many more.
It takes everything to make a world, and in this case, a team that sells the world on your PlayStation. Just like in real life, midfielders come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and there’s simply no point in trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
Finding talent is hard enough, but securing the next generation of elite midfielders is even harder. Picking up young talent can be critical to long-term success in EA FC 25, as any seasoned career mode specialist knows all too well.
So, to save you some work, here are the best young players aged 23 and under in EA FC 25 who can play in midfield based on ratings, leaks and confirmed rumours.
We include any EA FC 25 player who can play in midfield (CDM, CM and CAM) as a starting or alternative position, meaning we have some absolute crackers available.
Not surprisingly, it is Jude Bellingham who leads the midfielders aged 23 and under, with the Real Madrid The star rises to 90 in total this year. This improvement is well-deserved after a sensational 2023/24 with Real Madrid that saw him win La Liga and the Champions League. There could also be a Ballon d’Or on the horizon.
The Bundesliga is home to the following most promising young midfielders Florian Wirtz (88) i Jamal Musiala (87). Both fellow internationals enjoyed successful seasons with Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich respectively, but it was Wirtz who was crowned the division’s Player of the Season.
Barcelona also have two of the game’s brightest stars. Peter has a score of 86 in EA FC 25, the exact same rating as last year, while seagull he has received another rating of 83 after injury in 2023/24. Rival of Real Madrid Edward Camavinga also reaches 83.
The Premier League and unsurprisingly Chelsea offer some of the best wonder midfielders out there. Cole Palmer (85), Enzo Fernandez (82) i fallen moses (82) feature in the top 20 highest rated young midfielders, while new Manchester United signing Manuel Ugarte sneaks in with a score of 81.
Of course, there are exceptional talents in the women’s game as well. The most promising is that of Chelsea Lauren James which, despite being rightly classified as extreme, can be presented to the CAM. He has a rating of 86 and has the company of a club mate Good Nusken (81) in the top 20.
In her first EA FC appearance as a Bayern Munich player, Lena Oberdorf she has an 86 rating, with her new teammate Klara Buhl sitting at 83 overall. Both Lyon midfielders Melchie Dumornay and star of Barcelona Claudia Pina also has 83 ratings.
