THE BEST FIFA 22 SERIE A 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.

Barella isn’t the best in any of the six face stats but globally is clearly the best centre midfielder playing in Italy. His superb stamina and high/high work rates are decisive to this supriority.
Featuring the best dribbling and the second best passing stats, Arthur is a good alternative to Barella. However, our favourite to replace the Italian midfielder is still Sergey Milinkovic-Savic. He’s very solid in the back and has also great skills on the attack. Five of the six face stats are 79 or higher.
There are other decent options, like Vidal who is a great choice if you want someone to help the defence.

We missed the good old times when Serie A featured top-quality centre attacking midfielders. Unfortunately, there are no good options this year for this position. In our opinion, Pellegrini and his teammate Zaniolo are the ones we may use but you shouldn’t expect any miracles. If your formation has a CAM, try to see if there isn’t a player of other position that can be adapated.
Luis Alberto and Çalhanoğlu have the highest rated items but they are too weak and slow to be classified as decent choices.

Key Attributes
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.

Pace
In our opinion, Chiesa is the best option for this position. He has the highest sum of passing, dribbling and pace stats, the three most important attributes for someone who plays as right midfielder.
For low-budgest, the choice should be made between Kulusevski and Lozano. There are many players who give prefence to the Mexican players and his amazing pace but, in our opinion, Kulusevski is more balanced.

Lorenzo Insigne is the best Serie A left midfielder money can buy. He has the lowest strenght from all LM’s in this league but this is not enough to make us change ideas. Only the best players have the dribbling, passing, pace and shooting skills has he does.
If your budget is too short for Insigne, you may try Rebić or Gosens. We were surprised by the quality of the German player and probably you will be too, especially if you look for someone that also helps the defence. If that is not your case, go for Rebić
