in this article we will suggest the best midfielders for fifa 16 ultimate that you should be able to use in your ultimate team. keep in mind that the best players for us may not be for you. it depends of your team, other players, formation, transfer budget, wages budget, play style, preferences, etc.

to select the best players, we have mainly into consideration their stats, potential and age. that’s why a few old players are not in this list. someone who will not be playing for more than two seasons in our club is not such a good buy as someone who will play for five or six seasons.

marchisio (cm)

nationality: italy

rating:84

potential(1):

age:29

he is a great passer and good at physical, 4-star at his weak foot, 75 shooting. marchisio is able to play box-to-box without having any problems as a cam/cdm or attacking midfielder. he is so underrated, 84 is a solid rating what a player and what a guy ! juve through and through since day 1. he was juve's best player last season alongside tevez and chiellini/barzagli. when vidal and pirlo didn't turn up and pogba was injured he was their leader, he would have deserved an upgrade after almost helping his team to the treble.

fredy guarín

nationality: colombia

rating:80

age:29

fredy guarín the master of long shot, one of the best players in the game that you can rely on to take a long shot in a moment when you need a goal. he is well rounded attribute 79 pac, 80 sho, 79 pas, 82 dri and a whopping 88 physical. he will be able to dominate any other central midfielder or striker or defender in the game.

paul pogba

nationality: france

rating: 86

age: 22

we usually leave the players with less than 23 years old to our young players guide. however, in this case the quality of this midfielder is too obvious. only james can compete with him. the younger and the better version of the game, 4 star skills move, 4 star foot weak, 91 strength, 91 long-shot. so imagine, you can't let him have two meters of space at the five meters out because he will kill your defense. he can draw 2or3 players and he has ability of dribbling the players or creating passes for your strikers or wingers. i am actually very curious to see if paul pogba can grow more in the following years and become a pro attender the ballon d'o together with neymar.

phillip lahm

nationality: germany

rating: 87

potential (1): 87

age: 31

the only problem of this amazing player is his age. you can play with him a few seasons more and, if you wish, you can also use him as right back.

james rodriguez

nationality: colombia

rating: 87

potential (1): 93

age: 24

the players with highest potential in fifa 16 are messi, ronaldo, neymar, pogba and… james. do we need to explain anything more ? rodriguez will probably make it in the top five best attacking midfielders, his physical attributes are pretty good. so, he can play even as a cdm.

kevin de bruyne

nationality: belgium

rating: 86

potential (1): 89

age: 24

he is a fantastic player of 5star weak foot, which is incredible he will be able to score of shots with the right or with the left. if you are rich and full of fifa coins, this player is a must buy. young and with amazing stats, he will not stop scoring and make assists to his team mates.
