Scout report

Holding+ is a role in FC 27 Ultimate Team for central midfielders who sit in front of the back line, protect it and win the ball back. It exists for CM and CDM, with the Defend, Ball-Winning and Roaming focuses. More than 1000 FC 27 cards carry it at + or ++.

The role asks for Defending, Stays Back, Aggressiveness and Movement, so it suits a midfielder who stays deep and hunts the ball rather than joining attacks. In the ranking, Jaap Stam (88 CDM, Ultimate Scream Hero) leads, followed by Kobbie Mainoo (89 CDM, Future Stars), Formiga (90 CDM, Base Icon) and Blaise Matuidi (86 CDM, Base Hero).

Pick a Holding+ card if you want a dedicated anchor in a CDM or deep CM slot who breaks up play and stays behind the ball.
