THE BEST FIFA 22 LA LIGA DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS
Many of the FUT formations require some midfielders that have a natural aptitude to defend. Central defensive midfielders distinguish themselves for being especially aimed to help the back line. According to their attributes and their work rates, they can also be useful to start attacks. They occupy a very strategic position in the field.

Key Attributes
You need to look at several attributes when choosing a central defensive midfielder: defending, to be able to support the back line; strength, to win possession more times; heading, to win the ball in aerial moves like goal kicks; pace, to cover as many spaces as possible; stamina, so he can equally participate in offensive and defensive plays (especially useful for players with high/high work rates); passing and possession, so that he can properly start attacks. In our opinion, the two first are the most important ones.
Usually, defensive midfielders are chosen to help the defence. So, it makes sense that they have high defensive stats. The area of the field occupied by CDMs is the one where most ball disputes happen. Strong players will have highest probabilities of winning the ball.

Casemiro is an amazing defensive midfielder playing in this league. He is the CDM who gives more security to the back line but he is also a good offensive player. He could be faster but compared with the other CDMs, he is OK.
If you don’t have enough coins to pay him, don’t go for the second highest-rated. Sergio Busquets is extremely slow and should be avoid, except in very specific cases. The best alternative is Thomas Delaney. He’s not a top defensive midfielder but his balanced attributes are good enough for most of the teams.

You have plenty of quality choices for this position no matter what is your play style. In our opinion, there are four players who stand out: Marcos Llorente, if you need a balanced midfielder; Modrić, if your goal is to find someone more focused on the attack; Valverde, a typical box-to-box; and Frenkie de Jong, if you want to a player balanced between the attack and the defence.
If you don’t mind to play with slower players, Kroos and Koke, are also decent options.

Once again, our favourite centre attacking midfielders is Fekir. He’s fast and has the best shooting and physicality stats from the eleven LaLiga CAMs. He is also very good on the dribbling and passing. OK, only Matheus Cunnha defends worst, but that’s something you would don’t on someone who plays in this position, right?
If you think this is an obvious choice, you should know that it isn’t. Alejandro Gómez is also an interesting option. If he was stronger, he probably would be our first choice.

Pace is probably the biggest weapon of these players. They use it to escape opponents. However, to be fast isn’t enough to reach the opponent’s box. A good dribbling stat will help you to surpass the opponents’ players that appear on the way. When reaching the opponent’s box, the winger has to decide what to do. Normally, he decides to cross and that’s why it’s so important to have good passing stats.

The right side of the attack lost quallity now that Messi has moved to Paris. The best choice is now Dembélë. He’s the fastest and also the one with the best dribbling stats.
In our opinion, Portu is the best alternative to him. He’s one of the fastest and also one of the strongest – two stats that are OP every single year. His passing and dribbling stats are also good and he has high stamina and high work rates.

From the six face stats, Hazard is the best in two: shooting and passing. If you join the 4/4 skills, you get one of the best left-wingers on LaLiga. If you need more pace, we suggest trying his teammate Vinícius Jr. His passing stats are one of the worst but he also standouts for his work rates and skills. However, let’s be honest: how many times you perform 5 stars moves while playing?
Carrasco and Ocampos are decent alternatives to Madrid left wingers.
