Central Midfielders Best options: Kevin De Bruyne and FC 25 Coins Bruno Fernandes Budget options: Kai Havertz and Ilkay Gundogan Alternative choices: N'Golo Kante and Paul Pogba
Combining Manchester United's and Manchester City's best central midfielders in one team is borderline impossible in real life, but in FIFA Ultimate Team, players can do that fairly easily, provided that they have the funds. For a lump sum of 75.000 coins, one can get Kevin de Bruyne (91 OVR, 93 PAS) and Bruno Fernandes (88 OVR, 89 PAS) to form a midfield duo straight out of any manager's wildest dreams.
Still, buying Fernandes and De Bruyne right away is probably out of reach for those who have just picked up FC 25 and want to amass their FC 25 Ultimate Team coins via gameplay, rather than microtransactions or transferring funds from their FIFA 22 saves. These players should look towards Chelsea's Kai Havertz (84 OVR) and Ilkay Gundogan (85 OVR), De Bruyne's reliable substitute, to form a CM pairing that will get the job done for only 18.000 coins.
Those looking for two highly-rated midfielders attainable without breaking the bank should look no further than Chelsea's N'golo Kante and Manchester United's Paul Pogba. The French duo may not be the paciest of midfielders, but they more than make up for it with their passing skills and physicality. Snagging up two cards with 87 (Pogba) and 90 (Kante) overall ratings for less than 70.000 coins is a true FC 25 Ultimate Team bargain for players wanting to improve their midfield.
Heung Min Son is one of the most balanced players in FC 25. which explains his lofty 35.000-coin price tag. With 88-rated pace, 87 shooting, and a dribbling rating of 86. he is one of the most complete wingers in the game, guaranteed to rake in loads of goals and assists in most games.
Liverpool's Diogo Jota is definitely a step-down from Tottenham's Son, but he is a very solid left-wing option, especially considering that he only costs around 1.500 coins on the cheap FIFA 25 Coins Ultimate Team open market. With his pace, dribbling, and shooting ratings well within the 80s range, he will provide a fantastic return on investment, even for managers who bring him in merely as a bench option.
