The center midfielder position is very important for both VS Attack and Head to Head modes on FC Mobile. If in VS Attack mode he is only used in offensive scenarios, therefore requiring a good shot and a good pass, in Head to Head mode physical characteristics are also required as he will be used in all phases of the game. The choice of the center midfielder must also be made based on the preferred foot, the weak foot stars and the skill moves stars, these will in fact help you a lot in building the game. On my website you can find the complete guide on how to choose midfielders. Below you will find the Top 15 best center midfielder and a short review based on my gaming experience. I will also include the best cheap choice, for which I will take as a reference players with red rank and a price of around 50M.
LAST RANKINGS UPDATE: November 11, 2024
1 - HAKAN CALHANOGLU
The OVR 102 version of Hakan Calhanoglu, released during the Trick or Treat event, is probably among the best and most complete center midfielders in the game. With 93 in acceleration, 101 in dribbling and 98 in agility, he is very smooth in his movements and dribbling. With 108 in long shot and 100 shot power, as well as his 5-star weak foot, his shooting is very accurate from all positions. His passing is also very accurate, with 113 in short passing and 113 long passing, he is among the best in his position. Good, although not exceptional, in the defensive phase. Recommended for both VS Attack and Head to Head modes. Not very strong physically, but he is also decisive in the defensive phase.
2 - ZINEDINE ZIDANE
The OVR 101 version of Zinedine Zidane, released during the Retro Stars event, despite having offensive characteristics, is among the best center midfielders in the game. With 98 in acceleration, 105 in dribbling and 95 in agility, he is very smooth in his movements and dribbling. With 101 in long shot and 98 shot power, as well as his 5 stars weak foot, despite not having an explosive shot he is very accurate from all positions. His passes are also very accurate, with 108 in short passing and 106 long passing. Good, although not exceptional, in the defensive phase. Recommended mainly for VS Attack mode, but is also very effective in Head to Head mode.
3 - RUUD GULLIT
The OVR 99 version of Ruud Gullit, released during the Euro 2024 event, is currently among the best cards in the game. With 98 acceleration, 95 dribbling and 91 agility, he is very smooth in his movements despite his 191 cm. With 100 long shot and 100 shot power, as well as his 5 stars weak foot, despite not having an explosive shot, he is very accurate from all positions. His passes are also very accurate, with 106 short passing and 101 long passing. Ruud Gullit's card has always been among the best in his position, and will continue to be so in the future. This card is a guarantee of top performance in all game modes.
4 - LOTHAR MATTHAUS
The OVR 103 version of Lothar Matthaus, released during the Anniversary event, is among the best cards for Head to Head mode. With 104 acceleration, 95 dribbling and 94 agility, he is very smooth in his movements. With 114 long shot and 109 shot power, despite having a 4-star weak foot, if you pay attention with his left foot, he is a very accurate shot. His passing is also very accurate, with 114 short passing and 114 long passing, he is among the best in his position. I probably prefer his performance in Head to Head mode, but he is just as good in VS Attack mode.
5 - YAYA TOURE'
The OVR 103 version of Yaya Tourè, released during the Anniversary event in the Heroes 25 category, is among the best cards for Head to Head mode. With 95 in acceleration, 100 in dribbling and 93 in agility, he does not have very smoother movements, but this characteristic is compensated by his physical strength and his 188 cm. With 109 in long shot and 108 shot power, despite having 4 stars weak foot, if you pay attention with his left foot, he turns out to have a very accurate shot (even if it is not his strong point). His passes are also very accurate, with 110 in short passing and 105 long passing. Probably the real characteristic of this card is his defensive phase. Recommended especially for Head to Head mode.
6 - SERGEJ MILINKOVIC-SAVIC
The OVR 100 version of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, released during the Dynasties event, is among the best center midfielders on FC Mobile. With 91 in acceleration, 97 in dribbling and 88 in agility, his strong point is not smoothers but his physical strength. With 103 in long shot and 100 shot power, as well as the 5-star weak foot, he has a very accurate shot. His passes are also very accurate, with 104 in short passing and 104 long passing. He is the classic center midfielder excellent in all phases of the game. Also excellent in the defensive phase, thanks to his 192 cm. Recommended for all game modes.
7 - YAYA TOURE'
The OVR 100 version of Yaya Tourè, released during the Hall of Legends event, is among the best center midfielders on FC Mobile. With 93 in acceleration, 94 in dribbling and 90 in agility, as with his other versions, his strong point is not smoothers but his physical strength. With 103 in long shot and 103 shot power, despite having only 4 stars weak foot, if you pay attention when shooting with your left foot, he has a very accurate shot. His passes are also very accurate, with 108 in short passing and 104 long passing. Yaya Tourè, in all his versions, is the ideal center midfielder if you are looking for a player capable of recovering the ball and starting the offensive phase of the game. Recommended for all game modes but mainly for Head to Head mode.
8 - FEDERICO VALVERDE
The OVR 103 version of Federico Valverde, released during the Trick or Treat event, despite having some flaws, is among the best cards in the game. With 99 in acceleration, 99 in dribbling and 94 in agility, he is very smooth in his movements, but is penalized by his 3-star skill moves. With 109 in long shot and 107 shot power, despite having only 4-star weak foot, if you pay attention when shooting with your left foot, he has a very accurate and at times explosive shot. His passes are also very accurate, with 112 in short passing and 113 long passing, among the best in this position. He is also good in the defensive phase, but his real strong point is the construction of the game. Suggested for Head to Head mode.
9 - PATRICK VIEIRA
The OVR 101 version of Patrick Vieira, released during the Hall of Legends event, despite having some flaws, is among the best cards in the game, especially for Head to Head mode. With 101 in acceleration, 99 in dribbling and 95 in agility, despite his 192 cm, he is very smooth in his movements, but his real strength is his physical power. With 100 in long shot and 98 shot power, and having only 4 stars weak foot, it is probably better to leave the task of shooting on goal to other players, but despite this, with the right attention, he is effective from some positions. His passes are very accurate, with 107 in short passing and 105 long passing. His real strength is the defensive phase, and is therefore recommended more for Head to Head mode than for VS Attack mode.
10 - ZINEDINE ZIDANE
The OVR 99 version of Zinedine Zidane, released during the Team of the Season event, despite having offensive characteristics, is excellent for all FC Mobile modes. With 96 in acceleration, 102 in dribbling and 91 in agility, despite his physical strength, he is very smoothers in his movements and dribbling. With 98 in long shot and 94 shot power, as well as 5 stars weak foot, he manages to have an accurate, but not explosive, shot from all areas of the pitch. His passes are very accurate, with 105 in short passing and 103 long passing. He is highly recommended for the VS Attack mode but, despite having offensive characteristics, he manages to cover every area of the pitch well even in Head to Head mode.
11 - RUUD GULLIT
The OVR 97 version of Ruud Gullit, released during the Team of the Year event, despite having been released a long time ago, still manages to guarantee exceptional performances in all game modes. With 97 in acceleration, 93 in dribbling and 90 in agility, despite his 191 cm, he is very smoothers in his movements and dribbling. With 98 in long shot and 99 shot power, as well as 5 stars weak foot, he has a very accurate shot. His passes are also very accurate, with 99 in short passing and 104 long passing. This, like the other versions of Ruud Gullit, are always recommended for all game modes.
12 - PATRICK VIEIRA
The OVR 99 version of Patrick Vieira, released during the Team of the Season event, despite some flaws, is excellent for Head to Head mode. With 100 in acceleration, 96 in dribbling and 92 in agility, and with his 192 cm, he is quite smoother in his movements, but his real strength is his physical strength. With 99 in long shot and 93 shot power, and with his 4 stars weak foot, he has a sufficient shot if you pay attention to avoiding the weak foot. His passes are also very accurate, with 105 in short passing and 103 long passing. This card of Patrick Vieira, despite some flaws, such as the 3 stars skill moves, is recommended especially for Head to Head mode if you are looking for a center midfielder good in the defensive phase and in building the game.
13 - SOCRATES
The OVR 98 version of Socrates, released during the Copa America event, despite having offensive characteristics, is among the best solutions for all game modes. With 94 in acceleration, 99 in dribbling and 90 in agility, despite his 192 cm, he is very smooth in his movements and dribbling.

This card of Socrates is the right solution if you are looking for a center midfielder who is good in all phases of the game. Probably more offensive, but also good in the defensive phase. Recommended for all game modes, especially for the VS Attack mode.
14 - KEVIN DE BRUYNE
The OVR 99 version of Kevin De Bruyne, released during the Euro 2024 event, is among the best solutions in center midfielders good in all phases of the game.

Highly recommended for the VS Attack mode. Also recommended for the Head to Head mode if you like to build the game calmly and need a player good in passing and ball management.
15 - LEON GORETZKA
The OVR 100 version of Leon Goretzka, released during the Trick or Treat event, is among the best balanced center midfielders in the game. With 92 acceleration, 95 dribbling and 90 agility, he is not very smooth in his movements, also his 3 star skill moves could be a disadvantage. With 105 long shot and 100 shot power, and with his 4 star weak foot, if you pay attention with his left foot, he can also be useful in the finishing phase. His passes are also very accurate, with 107 short passing and 106 long passing. This card seems to have good defensive stats, not exceptional, but still good. Probably suggested for Head to Head mode if you are looking for a balanced player useful in all phases of the game.
CHEAP CHOICE - FRANK LAMPARD
The OVR 97 version of Frank Lampard, released during the Euro 2024 event, is my cheap choice in the center midfielder position. With 94 in acceleration, 93 in dribbling and 88 in agility, he is quite smoother. With 101 in long shot and 97 shot power, and with his 4 stars weak foot, if you pay attention with the left foot, he has a fairly accurate shot. His passes are also very accurate, with 105 in short passing and 105 long passing. He is a cheap choice, in fact for around 65M you can buy his red rank version. He is a balanced solution, a player good in both the defensive and offensive phases, recommended mainly for Head to Head mode, but functional for all game modes.
