3) Dani Parejo

OVR: 86

Short pass: 92

When players talk about the best passers in FIFA 22, Dani Parejo may not be the first name on people's minds.

2) Toni Kroos

OVR: 88

Short pass: 93

Toni Kroos is not that favoured in the FIFA 22 meta due to his sluggish pace. But, the card makes up for it reasonably with his expert passes and crosses. Kroos, with a short pass rating of 93, is someone players can blindly rely on to control and dominate the midfield.

1) Kevin De Bruyne

OVR: 91

Short pass: 94

Kevin De Bruyne is arguably the best CM in the game. He not only excels because of his high rating but also due to his ability to orchestrate the overall flow of the match. De Bruyne is one of the most complete midfielders in FIFA 22 and can be a jewel in any player's squad.
