FIFA 22 best young midfielders: The top 50 MIDs on Career Mode

Having a strong midfield is crucial to success both in the real world and in FIFA 22.

In the past year, Jorginho helped Chelsea win the Champions League and Italy lift the European Championship and thus was quickly made one of the favourites for the Ballon d'Or.

FIFA 22's new gameplay changes have made the midfield battle more important than previous years and finding the right players in the middle is essential in Career Mode.

Jadon Sancho was the best young midfielder in FIFA 21 and that was reflected in reality as well as he joined Manchester United in the summer of 2021 for £73 million.

Sancho's potential is huge, but to reach it, he will require game time and the right coaching. This is also true of any young player in FIFA 22 as well.

To reach their potential rating, you will need to give them the right experience for them to be a success on the pitch.

Here are all the best young midfielders in FIFA 22 Career Mode, ordered by their potential rating in the game.

PO. = Position(s)

CR = Current Rating

PR = Potential Rating

VA. = Value

*Clubs listed are the clubs the players are assigned to in FIFA 22 Career Mode, while ages shown are the age at the start of Career Mode
