FIFA 22 Fastest Central Midfielders
FIFA gameplay is known to favor players with pace more than any other attribute, and having central midfielders who can move efficiently across the pitch and match the pace of attacking opponents is vital if you want to avoid midfield flops.
A selection of the fastest central midfielders in FIFA 22
This article focuses on the fastest central midfielders (CM) in the game, with Marcos Llorente, Marcelino Moreno and Lateef Blessing being some of the fastest in FIFA 22.
We have ranked these explosive players based on their pace rating and the fact that their favorite position is in central midfield (CM).
At the bottom of the article you will find a complete list of all the fastest central midfielders (CM) in FIFA 22.
1. Marcelino Moreno (74 OVR – 76 POT)
Marcelino Moreno holds the title of the fastest central midfielder in FIFA 22, with his 91 acceleration and 87 sprint speed enough to cause problems for any opposing player.
The Atlanta United Argentine playmaker provides his team with some serious pace as well as a skill set to take down defenders. Combine his rough pace with 93 agility, 81 dribbling and five star prowess and Moreno is profiled as one of the most powerful midfielders you can use in the game.
With a £6.8 million release clause in Career Mode, Moreno is a suitable signing for a host of potential managers at all levels of the game and given his dazzling form in MLS where he has scored nine times and assisted five more times in just 32 games, his popularity among managers in real life will increase significantly.
2. Marcos Llorente (86 OVR – 89 POT)
Marcos Llorente is an incredibly versatile midfielder, but his 90 sprints and 86 accelerations are what really make the dynamic Spaniard a special player.
Llorente has attributes that most central midfielders could only dream of. His pace, 90 stamina, 86 short passes, 87 attacking positions, 86 visions and 80 standing passes mark Llorente as a huge physical, technical, attacking and defensive figure in Atlético Madrid's world-class central midfield.
At the age of 26, Llorente is only now nearing his physical peak and his whopping £160.8m worth in FIFA 22 reflects how positive his development at Atlético Madrid has been over the last two seasons after they signed him from local rivals Real Madrid for £27 million.
3. Lateef Blessing (71 OVR – 75 POT)
The ratings of 88 accelerations in combination with 85 sprint speed give Latif Blassing mobility to act as a very energetic central midfielder and right defender in the MLS.
The greatest qualities of Ganz, perhaps his pace and endurance are, although Blassing still has technical attributes to perform excellently in central midfield. 75 dribbling and short gears indicate that Blassing can either circle an opponent or a demon to circumvent an obstacle with a pass.
Starting his professional career in his native Ghana, Sporting Kansas City took a chance at Blanding before the 2017 draft, where he was torn by the Los Angeles California club. Since the draft, Blassing has been an outstanding LAFC player, scoring goals once every four games, which is a worthy return from the center of midfield.
4. Federico Valverde (83 OVR – 89 POT)
The early talent of the Uruguayan became one of the best midfielders in La League, and this is to a large extent due to its speed, which FIFA 22 estimates at 90 sprints and 82 accelerations.
Real Madrid constantly benefits from Valverda's mobility in midfield, but it is his gaming and defensive abilities that really change the game in their favor when he begins. 85 short gears and 84 long passes mean that Valverde can dissect the commands with one pass and cut the opponent’s efforts with 81 interceptions and 80 standing gears.
In his 22 years, the sky is the limit for Valverda, which can become a potential centurion for the Uruguay national team, given the fact that it has already played 35 times in his country and has at least another decade at the highest level as at the international one, So on the inner.
5. Aleho Antoleph (66 OVR – 75 POT)
Perhaps he is not the most highly appreciated central midfielder on this list, but Alekho Antholef from Arsenal de Sarandi with an acceleration of 86 and the speed of the sprint 84 distinguishes him from the vast majority of playmakers in the game.
75 dribbling and 73 curve in the game make an antilaf a worthy technician whose ability allows him to influence the game in advanced fields of fields, which is supplemented by its high speed of attacking work.
An ideal signing, if you control a small team in your site, you can pick up a young Argentinean for 2.7 million pounds, and his wages will also be very affordable. Arsenal de Sarandi may be less interested in selling Anthlef in real life, given that he went through the club youth academy and never played in a professional game for another team since his debut in 2017.
6. Orasio Orsan (69 OVR – 69 POT)
An experienced veteran at the age of 33, Orasio Orsan has a pace that you absolutely do not expect from the central midfielder approaching the sunset of his career, from 85 sprint speed and 82 acceleration, which allows him to get ahead of his rivals in the Peruvian example.
Orsan is calmly competent in all aspects of midfield play. 75 visions and 73 short passes allow him to create chances from open play, 68 free kicks are more than usable in dead ball situations and 69 aggressions and 62 interceptions mean he can also contribute defensively.
Career mode will have better options for a long-term signing, but there's no questioning the Argentine journeyman's experience, given that he played for eight different teams in four different South American countries during his ten-year professional career.
7. Nicholas de la Cruz (79 OVR – 84 POT)
De La Cruz has an athleticism rarely seen in central midfield, and his acceleration and sprint ratings of 86 and 83 respectively represent just one side of his physical gifts.
A four-star weak foot and ability to move along with the specialization of an engine and acrobat player make De La Cruz a special find in FIFA 22. When you consider that he has 92 stamina, 84 curve, 81 dribbling and 80 short passes, the Uruguayan is not only a phenomenal attacking option, but and one of the most underrated players in this year's game.
Having started his career, De La Cruz is available for bigger clubs with a value of £33.6m. At 24, he still hasn't reached his peak in the game, and the same is true in real life with De La Cruz becoming more and more productive for River Plate over the past few seasons since he came from Uruguayan club Liverpool.
