The best meta midfielders in Ultimate Team change as new promos are introduced to the mode. The power curve for midfielders saw a major spike after the release of the TOTY promo as player items came with two PlayStyle+ traits. By the time TOTS squads dropped, that number was upgraded to three.

With the game now at the tail end of its cycle, you’ll need midfielders with a minimum of four PlayStyle+ traits to remain competitive during online matches.

In terms of traits, the best midfielders in the game usually have 90+ in all of the six main categories, making them ideal for any scenario, be it playing as a Box-to-Box player or in a holding role. Meta PlayStyle+ traits such as Technical, Relentless, Tiki Taka, Incisive Pass, Pinged Pass, and Finesse Shot are important.

Most of our picks, including TOTT Jude Bellingham and FUTTIES Alexia Putellas, come with the aforementioned PlayStyles. If you are looking for a CDM, defensive PS+ like Anticipate, Jockey, or Bruiser are must-haves. Speaking of which, TOTT Fede Valverde and PTG Eduardo Camavinga are the best in class in that position.
