Best midfielders in FIFA 14

Midfielders are the ones who dictate the game most of the time, and that’s why it is important to identify the best midfielders in FIFA 14 in order to pick them in your team. Having some of the midfielders with great potential in your own squad in career mode can help you achieve success for many seasons, and having players who are already at their peak can generate instant glory. Here are five of the best midfielders in the game:

?5. Sergio Busquets (Spain)

The Barcelona midfielder had a difficult 2013-14 season for both club and country

Overall rating – 85

Potential – 90

Probably the best defensive midfielder in the game when you are looking at someone who can serve for 5 to 6 seasons at the top level. There are players like Schweinsteiger and Pirlo who are rated above Busquets, but with advancing age, the rating is bound to get reduced unlike his case. Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal is a very good bet as well since he has similar traits to Busquets, but with the Barcelona midfielder being an year younger, he gets the nod ahead of the Chilean.

?4. Angel Di Maria (Argentina)

Di Maria played a huge role Real Madrid’s successful European campaign last season

Overall rating – 86

Potential – 88

Just 24 years old, you will have a real beast in your hands if you can get him to play for your team in the game. Angel Di Maria is already rated 86 and with experience, that rating will rise upto 88. He will be at his best when played on the right side of the midfield, and you only have Bayern Munich’s Arjen Robben who is rated higher than Di Maria in that position. But Robben’s rating will be on the decline in career mode whereas Di Maria’s rating will be on the upswing.

?3. David Silva (Spain)

David Silva has already two premier league titles in his short Manchester City career

Overall rating – 88

Potential – 89

David silva is making the moves in England with Manchester City, and you can have him do the same for you by having him in your squad. He is the highest rated attacking midfielder in the game ahead of the likes of Juan Mata and Mesut Ozil who are both rated at 87. With Silva, you can expect consistency and that rating is expected to increase a rung above to 89 if he has a good first season in career mode.

?2. Mario Gotze (Germany)

The young Bayern Munich star is already a hero in Germany courtesy of his goal in the World Cup final

Overall rating – 85

Potential – 92

He has a healthy rating of 85, but some people might wonder about his presence on this list despite there being so many midfielders who have an equal or a higher rating in the game. But a 21 year old who has a potential to reach a rating of 92 in the coming years is definitely not a player you should miss out on especially when you are looking at stability at a club by having players play for your team for many seasons. He can also be deployed as a false 9 if needed.

?1. Andres Iniesta (Spain)

Iniesta is expected to lead Barcelona’s title charge in the upcoming season

Overall rating – 89

Potential – 93

The Spanish midfield maestro is undoubtedly the best midfielder in FIFA 14. His partner in crime, Xavi is also rated 89 in the game, but unlike Iniesta who at the age of 28 will be at the peak of his powers, Xavi will quickly fade away because of his age. Iniesta can go up to 93 inside a couple of seasons and that is why he is the best among the lot. You can count on this genius to help you with those killer passes and crucial goals which ultimately will help you win titles.
