Kevin De Bruyne has managed to retain his 91 rating from FIFA 23 in EA FC 24. After a phenomenal season with Manchester City and winning the treble, he’s already regarded as the best midfielder in the world by many.

Further, Rodri has received a significant upgrade after an impressive season and scoring the famous UCL-winning goal for Man City in 2023, similar to Bernardo Silva, who also played a critical role in Pep Guardiola’s team.

However, while Casemiro hasn’t seen a significant improvement, his teammate Bruno Fernandes has received an upgrade, which is understandable given his outstanding performances at Manchester United. Moreover, Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde received a significant upgrade due to his performances last season with his club and country.

Other critical players, Martin Odegaard, and Frenkie de Jong, have consistently been the best midfielders in the Premier League and La Liga respectively since their arrival.

To close this outstanding list is Jude Bellingham, who had an impressive start to the 2023/2024 season for Real Madrid and has already won a La Liga Player of the Month award.
