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 and left wingers often define your early success thanks to pace and dribbling:

Right Wing

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