Donny van de Beek: His strong running ability with and especially without the ball makes him unique amongst today’s number eights. With his amazing eye for a pass, vision and spatial awareness, it’s no surprise that he is likened to Andres Iniesta. Overall FIFA 21 rating: 83

Toni Kroos: While the German does not have the physical attributes, pace or the energy levels of a certain midfielder, his ability to accurately pinpoint his passes and create key chances is what makes his presence in any team all that significant. Even more significant. Overall FIFA 20 rating: 88

Frenkie De Jong: Watching Frenkie De Jong in action is something to behold. The technical ability of the young midfielder allied with his footballing intelligence makes him the stand out player in almost every game he plays. Overall FIFA 21 rating: 85
