In FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, old acquaintances like Heung-min Son and N’Golo Kanté are once again among the best as well as most popular players in the centre. Bayern’s Goretzka, meanwhile, makes the Gullit Gang unsafe.
In midfield, it’s not always about pace. Above all, ball control and two-on-one strength is crucial in the centre, while things tend to move quickly on the outside positions. We have compiled the currently most popular gold cards in midfield for you.
Frank Onyeka
The six-man from Premier League newcomers FC Brentford is particularly popular for the start of FUT 22. Some users:inside already refer to Onyeka as a mini version of top player N’Golo Kanté. He is fast, physically strong and has acceptable dribbling and defensive qualities. Especially for the low price, Frank Onyeka is a top favourite for the first week in the Weekend League.Position: ZDM, Overall rating: 75, Pace: 87, Physique: 81, Stamina: 90

N’Golo Kanté
The Chelsea FC midfield star was already a stunner in FUT 21 and is the undisputed player in the six position in the latest title. The Frenchman gives the team so much security in the centre that his gold card can already be equated with an icon. Especially his stamina (97), interception (91) and man-to-man (90) figures speak for themselves. However, Kanté is also correspondingly expensive. Whoever is lucky enough to get the ZDM should build a team around him.

Renato Sanches
Renato Sanches is a solid all-rounder. In addition to his 89 shooting power and 87 stamina, the Portuguese impresses with positional play. Added to that are 4-star skills. As a bonus, links to Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo are possible.

Leon Goretzka
The German international is arguably the best midfield all-rounder at the start of FUT 22. Goretzka is even part of the so-called Gullit Gang with his gold card. Thus, the Bayern star represents the only gold card that can show 80s values in every area.

Silas Katompa Mvumpa
Last year Silas was still a silver star but still used often. This year the Congolese, who previously operated under a false identity as Silas Wamangituka, has been given a gold card. He impresses with his speed on the right wing, apt dribbling and can even call on 5-star skills. Due to his low value, Silas is a good starting option especially for the FUT entry with a Bundesliga team.
Position: RM, Overall rating: 75, Pace: 87, Dribbling: 80

Heung-min Son
Fast, strong as a dibble and a goal threat: as in previous years, Heung-min Son is arguably the best left midfielder. In FUT 22, the South Korean has added a few more points to his strengths and is correspondingly high on the popularity scale. He is currently one of the most expensive midfielders.
Position: LM, Overall rating: 89, Pace: 88, Dribbling: 86, Shooting: 87

Bruno Fernandes
The attacking engine continues to be a strong option in FUT. Bruno Fernandes impresses with his goal scoring prowess and a 91 stamina. Meanwhile, one drawback is his weak foot (3 stars), which is strictly rated by EA. The Manchester United attacking midfielder is a two-footed provider and goal scorer. This is shown, among other things, by his 87 score in ball control. Nevertheless, the Portuguese is a top player in FUT 22.
