Scout report

This page ranks the best defensive midfielders (CDM) you can buy in FC 27 Ultimate Team for up to 500,000 coins. More than 200 tradeable CDM cards fit that budget, and the list is ordered by meta rating, from Scott McTominay at the top down to Noah Sadiki at number ten.

A strong CDM here pairs high DEF with solid passing and strength: the top cards average 84 DEF, 80 PAS and 80 PHY. Intercept, Pinged Pass, Jockey, Tiki Taka and Bruiser are the PlayStyles+ you will see most often. Pick McTominay or Gattuso if you want a physical ball-winner, and Patri Guijarro or Yui Hasegawa if you want a CDM who also builds play.

Anyone who needs a midfield anchor without leaving the 500,000 coin range should start with the top five and choose by PlayStyle+ and the passing or physical profile their team needs.
