Right Central Midfielder - Kevin De Bruyne (188/200)
Kevin De Bruyne is the best midfielder in Football Manager 2022, and that also happens to be the case in real life. De Bruyne can easily flourish in attacking midfield, but he does brilliantly as a central midfielder too.
Trending
It's quite difficult to buy the Belgian, as he has just signed a new contract in the game. He has an astronomical valuation, but has a great combination of creativity and finishing.
However, he is 30, so he could be at his peak for two or three seasons only. Hence making a hefty investment on De Bruyne may not be wise, irrespective of how good he may be at the start of career mode save.
Left Central Midfielder - Bruno Fernandes (CA 172/200)
This one is an interesting pick, as Luka Modric starts with a higher initial current ability. However, Bruno Fernandes pips Modric on the save.
Like De Bruyne, Fernandes can play as an attacking midfielder or central midfielder. Manchester United have no shortage of great players in their squad, but the Portuguese is among the top two along with his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo.
A Football Manager 2022 player can acquire Fernades for a high price, but it would be money well spent. At 26, he has just entered his peak/ While he may not grow too much, players won't have to worry about Fernandes receding for the next few seasons.
Central Attacking Midfielder - Lionel Messi (CA 194/200)
PSG have a completely stacked lineup in Football Manager 2022 with several superstars, but none come close to Argentine superstar Lionel Messi.
Messi might be 34 at the start of a save in Football Manager 2022, but that doesn't reflect his ability. He can be employed in several positions, but his most natural position is as an attacking midfielder. He could also potentially play on the right-wing or forward position.
However, signing Messi is next to impossible in Football Manager 22, as he is considered 'untouchable' by PSG, and is on astronomical wages. There's also the age factor which would result in his abilities declining quickly if his performances dip. However, at the start of a save, Messi is the best player in Football Manager 2022.
