Central Midfielders: Engines in the Middle
For pure CMs, versatility is key. You need players who can defend, carry the ball, and contribute in attack:
1.Manu Koné (Serie A)-Technical, relentless, and perfect for FC 26 Coins Evolutions.
2.Conor Gallagher (La Liga)-All-rounder with high work rates and passing playstyles. Great for English hybrids.
3.Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Serie A)-6'3 with Press Proven and Enforcer. Could explode if Evo-friendly.
4.Giuliano & Greggi (Roma Women)-Tiny but rapid midfielders who link brilliantly. Hyperlink duo that's cheap and deadly.
5.Matteo Pessina (Serie A)-Box-to-box balance, underrated for linking Italian squads.
Verdict: The Roma duo could be one of the sneakiest budget links in the entire game.
Attacking Midfielders (CAMs): The Creative Spark
For Cams, you want technical flair, vision, and shooting playstyles:
1.Geraldine Rutella-Blistering speed, strong shooting, with Quick Step and Whipped Pass.
2.Pedro Gonçalves (Liga Portugal)-Mini-Bruno vibes with finesse and technical playstyles.
3.Sanche (La Liga)-Strong defensive CAM with shadow striker potential.
4.Karim Benzema (La Liga)-Even with lower rating, still silky with Finesse, Game Changer, and Relentless.
5.Christian Pulisic (Serie A)-Four-star, five-star, pacey box-crashing CAM. Affordable after initial hype dies.
Verdict: Pedro Gonçalves looks like the standout budget CAM, while Pulisic is the perfect Premier League/Serie A hybrid option.

Right Wing
1.Noni Madueke (Chelsea)-Explosive dribbler with Quick Step and Technical.
