A top central defensive midfielder can protect the defensive line, break down play, and transition the ball from defence to attack. Young talents make up some of the best defensive midfielders in EA Sports FC 24, so there are plenty of options to add to your squad.

They might not be at the level of Rodri or Joshua Kimmich just yet, but give it time and their stats will rise, with key attributes found in their defensive awareness, stamina, acceleration, agility, interceptions, short passing, and tackling. Check out the best young CDM ratings in FC 24 Career Mode below.

It wasn’t always easy to bring in a top CDM to your club, but there are plenty of options in FC 24 Career Mode. A new crop of talent is coming through as the position has begun playing a more pivotal role than ever before. 

We are classing the best young players as anyone who is 23 years old or younger at the start of your FC 24 Career Mode save and are including anyone with a base position of CDM. 

Tchouameni is the best overall young CDM. Image captured by VideoGamer

Aurelien Tchouameni – 84 Overall 

We had gotten so used to the Casemiro, Kroos, and Modric midfield at Real Madrid, but all good things come to an end. A new dynasty is being built, with Aurelien Tchouameni the first choice in the CDM role. Like most players on the list, he is very physically adept, with great composure on the ball to find key passes. 

While not initially as good, Camavinga’s potential is equal to Tchouameni’s. Image captured by VideoGamer

Eduardo Camavinga – 83 Overall 

Staying with Real Madrid, we also have another Frenchman in Eduardo Camavinga. A very versatile player, Camavinga has been used regularly at LB. EA predicts he has the same 89 Potential as Tchouameni, so the two can make an awesome partnership in FC 24 Career Mode. 

Kamara is your best option if you can’t afford the top two. Image captured by VideoGamer

Boubacar Kamara – 82 Overall

Yet another Frenchman, however, this time representing Aston Villa. Boubacar Kamara has seen his rating increase this campaign, with Villa flying high in the Premier League. He isn’t as imposing physically or quite as adept on the ball as his countrymen, but he is more solid defensively.

Ugarte is another decent pick, alongside Kamara. Image captured by VideoGamer

Manuel Ugarte – 81 Overall 

PSG’s big-money signing this summer, Manuel Ugarte has switched from Sporting CP for the French capital. The PSG midfield has been a weak point in the side for many seasons, with the Uruguayan giving it some more bite. 

Caicedo is the most budget friendly-option out of the top five. Image captured by VideoGamer

Moises Caicedo – 79 Overall 

Multiple clubs were circling for Brighton’s Moises Caicedo over the summer, with Chelsea eventually getting the Ecuadorian. His 85 Potential in FC 24 may not live up to his £100 million price tag, but there is no doubt this guy has talent and will be among the best playing at CDM in the future.
