The Best FIFA 19 Serie A Defensive Midfielders
CDM
Many of the FIFA 19 Ultimate Team formations require some midfielders that have a natural aptitude to defend. Central defensive midfielders distinguish themselves for being especially aimed to help the more retreated line of their teams. According to their attributes and their work rates, they can also be useful for starting attacks. They are players that occupy a very strategic position in the field.
World’s Champion Matuidi is by far the most popular defensive midfielder.
Blaise Matuidi | 85 | Juventus | FRA |
Lucas Leiva | 83 | Lazio | BRA |
Daniele De Rossi | 83 | Roma | ITA |
Steven Nzonzi | 82 | Roma | FRA |
Marco Parolo | 82 | Lazio | ITA |
Lucas Biglia | 82 | Milan | ARG |
Tiémoué Bakayoko | 80 | Milan | FRA |
Marcelo Brozović | 80 | Inter | CRO |
Matias Vecino | 80 | Inter | URU |
Milan Badelj | 80 | Lazio | CRO |
Roberto Gagliardini | 78 | Inter | ITA |
Riccardo Montolivo | 78 | Milan | ITA |
Erick Pulgar | 77 | Bologna | CHI |
Ivan Radovanović | 77 | Chievo Verona | SRB |
Valon Behrami | 76 | Udinese | SUI |
Francesco Magnanelli | 76 | Sassuolo | ITA |

Sandro | 75 | Genoa | BRA |
There are a variety of attributes in a central defensive midfielder that you have to give attention: defending, so that the first defender of team works; strength, so that you win all brawls in a prone area of the field; heading, to win possession in aerial moves like goal kicks; pace, so that you cover the most terrain on the field as possible; stamina, so they can equally participate in offensive and defensive moves (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.
Normally using a central defensive midfielder is associated with having a deficit of elements in your defence. So, it makes sense that when you search for a player to occupy this position you’d want players that can defend.
De Rossi and Matuidi are the ones who defend better.
Daniele De Rossi | Roma | ITA | 85 |
Blaise Matuidi | Juventus | FRA | 83 |
Lucas Leiva | Lazio | BRA | 82 |
Steven Nzonzi | Roma | FRA | 81 |
Marco Parolo | Lazio | ITA | 79 |
Tiémoué Bakayoko | Milan | FRA | 78 |
Lucas Biglia | Milan | ARG | 77 |
Milan Badelj | Lazio | CRO | 77 |
Roberto Gagliardini | Inter | ITA | 77 |
Matias Vecino | Inter | URU | 76 |
Erick Pulgar | Bologna | CHI | 76 |
Francesco Magnanelli | Sassuolo | ITA | 76 |
Sandro | Genoa | BRA | 75 |
Marcelo Brozović | Inter | CRO | 74 |
Valon Behrami | Udinese | SUI | 74 |
Manuel Locatelli | Sassuolo | ITA | 74 |
Riccardo Montolivo | Milan | ITA | 73 |
Sebastián Cristóforo | Fiorentina | URU | 73 |
Ivan Radovanović | Chievo Verona | SRB | 72 |
Soualiho Meïté | Torino | FRA | 71 |
The area of the field occupied by the central defensive midfielders is the one where most ball disputes happen. Strong players will have a higher probability of winning the ball.
Again, Matuidi and De Rossi are among the best on this side.
Steven Nzonzi | Roma | FRA | 89 |
Blaise Matuidi | Juventus | FRA | 83 |
Tiémoué Bakayoko | Milan | FRA | 82 |
Soualiho Meïté | Torino | FRA | 82 |
Daniele De Rossi | Roma | ITA | 80 |

Lucas Leiva | Lazio | BRA | 75 |
Roberto Gagliardini | Inter | ITA | 75 |

Lucas Biglia | Milan | ARG | 71 |
Manuel Locatelli | Sassuolo | ITA | 70 |
Sebastián Cristóforo | Fiorentina | URU | 70 |
Riccardo Montolivo | Milan | ITA | 66 |
Matuidi is undoubtedly the best player for this position. Serie A fans should be happy to see a player of this class playing in Italy. There is no other CDM as fast as he is which makes him even more special.
If you don’t have enough coins to buy him, you can try to sign the old good Daniele De Rossi or Marco Parolo.

The Best FIFA 19 Serie A Centre Midfielders
CM
A lot of games are decided in the midfield and not close to the goals. The players that play in these zones are the ones that should create the game and define its rhythm.
It’s in midfield that there’s more quality in the Serie A. Some of the world’s best footballers play there. It’s the case of Hamšík, Pjanić, Milinković-Savić and Nainggolan.
Marek Hamšík | 87 | Napoli | SVK |
Miralem Pjanić | 86 | Juventus | BOS |
Sergej Milinković-Savić | 85 | Lazio | SRB |
Sami Khedira | 85 | Juventus | GER |

Centre midfielders are responsible for discovering lines that break the opponents defence. Their passing quality has to be really good so they can assist forwards.
Even though Hamšík has a great passing stat, Miralem Pjanić is the one who does it better.
Miralem Pjanić | Juventus | BOS | 86 |
Marek Hamšík | Napoli | SVK | 84 |

A Centre midfielder usually needs creativity. Good dribbling allows the team to move forward, creating potential disequilibrium’s.
Once again, Miralem Pjanić is the centre midfielder with best dribbling stat in the Serie A.
Miralem Pjanić | Juventus | BOS | 86 |
Marek Hamšík | Napoli | SVK | 84 |
Javier Pastore | Roma | ARG | 84 |
Giacomo Bonaventura | Milan | ITA | 83 |

Emre Can | Juventus | GER | 77 |
Nainggolan is our favourite centre midfield from Serie A. He can play in any position of the midfield. He knows how to attack and how to defend. Who doesn’t like to play with high stamina and high/high work rates players? The only problem is his price. As alternative to him, if you want a CM to play as a CDM, we suggest you Allan. Khedira and Emre Can can also play that role.
In other hand, if you need someone more attacking, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Marek Hamšik are perfect. Pjanic has better passing and dribbling stats but he is not as good in the other attributes.

The Best FIFA 19 Serie A Central Attacking Midfielders
CAM
An attacking centre midfielder is responsible for creating chances to score. He should have a good dribbling, a decent passing, a high long shot stat and a great vision.
No other CAM can be compared to Paulo Dybala in this league.
Paulo Dybala | 89 | Juventus | ARG |
Borja Valero | 81 | Inter | ESP |
João Mário | 81 | Inter | POR |
Adem Ljajić | 80 | Torino | SRB |
Valter Birsa | 80 | Chievo Verona | SVN |
Gastón Ramírez | 79 | Sampdoria | URU |
Riccardo Saponara | 78 | Sampdoria | ITA |
Ante Ćorić | 76 | Roma | CRO |
Camillo Ciano | 75 | Frosinone | ITA |
How we explained, the central attacking midfielders need to have good passing stats, so they can assist forwards.
Valero is usually the CAM with best passing stat in Italy but this year he was caught on the top by Dybala.
Paulo Dybala | Juventus | ARG | 84 |
Borja Valero | Inter | ESP | 84 |
Valter Birsa | Chievo Verona | SVN | 80 |
João Mário | Inter | POR | 79 |

Adem Ljajić | Torino | SRB | 76 |
Ante Ćorić | Roma | CRO | 73 |
Camillo Ciano | Frosinone | ITA | 72 |
If a CAM is a good dribbler, he can make all the difference when the team is attacking.
In the world, only Messi, Neymar, Hazard and Isco have better dribbling stats than Dybala.
Paulo Dybala | Juventus | ARG | 91 |
Borja Valero | Inter | ESP | 84 |
Adem Ljajić | Torino | SRB | 84 |
João Mário | Inter | POR | 82 |

Riccardo Saponara | Sampdoria | ITA | 81 |
Ante Ćorić | Roma | CRO | 80 |
Gastón Ramírez | Sampdoria | URU | 79 |
Camillo Ciano | Frosinone | ITA | 76 |
Dybala has no competition. He is the fastest CAM, the one with best passing and shot stats, and also the Serie A player with the best dribbling stat. The only question you may have is: in which position you will use him?
Try to avoid all other CAMs and pick a CM to play in this position.

The Best FIFA 19 Serie A Right Wingers

The wingers are responsible for giving game width in the attack. They’re normally very explosive players.
José Callejón and Juan Cuadrado are the most popular right wingers playing in the Serie A.

Rômulo | 76 | Genoa | ITA |
Andrea Conti | 75 | Milan | ITA |
There are three fundamental attributes for a winger: pace, dribbling and passing.
Pace is probably the biggest weapon of these players. They use it to evade opponents and getting to the other side, many times via sprints on the side lines.
Keita Baldé is the fastest right winger in Italy.
Keita Baldé | Inter | SEN | 92 |
Juan Cuadrado | Juventus | COL | 91 |

Just being fast doesn’t cut it to reach the opponents box, having good dribbling to surpass the opponents’ players that appear on the way.
There are a lot of players gifted in dribbling, being Cuadrado the best.
Juan Cuadrado | Juventus | COL | 87 |
Suso | Milan | ESP | 86 |

When reaching the opponents box the winger has to decide what to do. Normally, they choose to cross to the forwards. That is why it’s important for them to have good passing.
Suso is the right midfielder who has the best passing on this league.
Suso | Milan | ESP | 82 |

Cuadrado should be your first option for this position if you are building a Serie A squad. He’s fast, has an amazing dribbling and he is a 5-stars skiller.
Most of the community uses José Callejón as alternative to Cuadrado but, in our opinion, Simone Verdi is better than him. And cheaper too…

In our opinion, only three players are good enough for this position: Douglas Costa, who is the fastest one; Perišić, who is not so fast but stronger; and Insigne, who is the most balanced from these three. We don’t recommend any other player, except for low budgets squads.
