However, if your player has a strong foundation of passing, tackling, work rate, stamina, positioning and decision-making, then they should suit most roles.įor the more creative roles, good passing, vision, technique and off the ball movement are crucial. Unlike some other positions like centre-back, there isn’t really a set of core attributes that every central midfield role requires. The Ball Winning Midfielder is more aggressive, especially on the support duty, where they will look for opportunities to press and win the ball back higher up the field. First there is the Carrilero a shuttling midfield that likes to operate across the breadth of the midfield looking to combine defence and attack in that way, rather than trying to be aggressive with their positioning. They will look to sit between the opponent’s lines of defence and midfield looking to receive and then spark attacks with their creativity.Īnd then there are the defensive roles. The Advanced Playmaker is a more attacking option. They’ll look to carry the ball up the field and when they get the opportunity, they’ll camp at the edge of the box looking to influence play in the final third with a shot or a killer ball. In terms of playmaking roles, the Deep Lying Playmaker is a popular pick for many coaches, with the role combining decent defensive solidity with playmaking from deep, while you can toggle how aggressive they are on both sides of the ball by toggling the Defend and Support duty.Ī Roaming Playmaker is the ball carrying equivalent of the Deep Lying Playmaker. The Mezzala will look to move into the channels and out wide, look to be influential in the way the team plays in the final third, and suit a more up-tempo, high-pressing system that will allow them to commit to positions further up the pitch than other roles. Likewise, the Mezzala is also a very popular role in FM23, with some even opting to play the ‘double-Mezzala’ in a three-man midfield. Simply, it is because Central Midfielder on attack is one of the most popular and overpowered roles in the game, with midfielders capable of playing it in the right system being able to score a huge number of goals, rendering the role with the support duty a bit of a moot point.
Let’s get it out of the way early and explain why Central Midfielder is in our ‘attacking’ category. And the outlier is, of course, Box to Box Midfielder. Seven of these roles can be split into three categories: defensive (Ball Winning Midfielder, Carrilero), playmaking (Deep Lying Playmaker, Advanced Playmaker, Roaming Playmaker), and attacking (Mezzala, Central Midfielder).
Alongside defensive midfield and striker, central midfield has the biggest variety of roles: eight.
