Road To Glory in FIFA 23’s Career Mode involves you starting at a lower-tier club and taking it to the very top by winning the UEFA Champions League. Aside from using a lower-tier club, you may also create your team and climb through the divisions toward the pinnacle.
With midfield being one of the essential parts of any formation, you will have to sign young centre midfielders who will conquer the middle of the pitch for your club. We list the best young centre midfielders to sign for Road To Glory in FIFA 23.
The stats and the ratings below are as of FIFA 23's latest July Squad update.
10 Luka Vrbančić, Dinamo Zagreb
Luka Vrbančić is the next generation of Croatian talent, and he is showing exciting glimpses for Dinamo Zagreb’s youth team, with his performances at UEFA Youth League being pretty decent. He could be an excellent acquisition for your team, and his ball-carrying abilities will help you immensely.
EA has given the talented midfielder a rating of 61 and a potential of 82, ultimately becoming good enough for a top team in about 6–7 seasons. You can put development plans onto him and make him grow across the 70 mark in 2–3 seasons.
9 Abdoulaye Kamara, Borussia Dortmund
Abdoulaye Kamara joined Borussia Dortmund from the academy of PSG and is one of the gems the German club has in their ranks. During the 2022-2023 season, he represented the reserve team of Dortmund, and he is expected to make a breakthrough in the coming years.
The Guinean international boasts great stats in the game, and he can be a vital piece of your midfield as you move across the tiers in the Road to Glory. He begins at 60 overall in the first season and has a potential of 82, which is very nice if you buy him for cheap in the first or the second season.
8 Jobe Bellingham, Birmingham City
Jude Bellingham’s younger brother, Jobe Bellingham, is subject to high expectations from everyone. There are many eyes on the midfielder as football fans worldwide question if he can catch up to his brother’s ability in the long run.
In FIFA 23’s Career Mode, you can find him at Birmingham City even though his transfer to Sunderland has already been announced in real life. Coming to his overall rating and potential, he has pretty much identical numbers to Luka Vrbančić, with the two stats standing at 61 and 82, respectively.
7 Tygo Land, PSV
PSV saw the potential of Tygo Land and signed him from Heerenveen for a decent fee, while the midfielder was only 16. He currently plays for the U18 side of the Dutch club and is expected to make moves through the ranks soon, considering his potential.
Within FIFA 23, Tygo Land has a rating of 59 and a potential of 83, and you must consistently play him to ensure he reaches his potential. Aside from the centre midfield role, you may even utilize him as an attacking midfielder, and he is terrific going forward.
6 Lucas Bergvall, Djurgårdens
Lucas Bergvall, one of the best prospects in Sweden, is another midfielder that you can sign for your club in a Road to Glory inside the Career Mode. He has already become a starter for Djurgårdens and is expected to attract a lot of attention from other European clubs as he keeps improving with age.
In terms of the numbers in the game, Lucas Bergvall has been given an overall rating of 60 and a potential of 83. You can try signing him for close to €700-800 thousand, and he also has a release clause on him that you may activate.
5 Archie Gray, Leeds United
Football runs in Archie Gray’s veins, and he is the son of Andy Gray, grandson of Frank Gray, and great-nephew of Eddie Gray. He has bags of potential and has made the bench of Leeds United’s team several times, despite the fact that he has yet to make a professional debut for them.
Signing the prospect in FIFA 23 would be wise, given that he has an overall rating of 60 and a potential of 84. All the money spent on him would be worth it if you nurture him into a top talent.
4 Lewis Miley, Newcastle United
Lewis Miley emerges among the brightest youth prospects present at Newcastle United and has already made his debut for the club. He is likely to play for the U21 team of the Magpies in the coming season and is expected to develop into a top player.
You can try purchasing Lewis Miley for a long Road to Glory rebuild, and he will certainly improve your team’s midfield. Like Archie Gray, he has an overall rating of 60 and an incredible potential of 84 inside the game.
3 Laurin Ulrich, VFB Stuttgart
Laurin Ulrich will be an incredible acquisition in the Career Mode, and he would be an ideal buy if you are looking for a centre midfielder. He comes with an overall of 61 in the first season and can climb significantly to an outstanding potential mark of 84.
The German wonderkid packs a lot of pace for his overall, and he will breeze through the defense thanks to his incredible dribbling. You may also convert Laurin Ulrich into an attacking midfielder or a winger since he performs better at the two roles.
2 Sidney Raebiger, Greuther Fürth
Sidney Raebiger has been one of the best value-for-money players in the game, and he is a common pick if you want a budget signing for a lengthy rebuild. Accordingly, he is someone that you must have your eyes on for the centre midfield spot.
When looking at his rating, he sits at the mark of 62 with a nice potential of 84. His stats are well-rounded, and buying him in the early few seasons would be a steal since his value usually skyrockets after he transcends the rating of 70.
1 Carney Chukwuemeka, Chelsea
Carney Chukwuemeka is arguably the best centre midfielder you can resort to for a Road to Glory rebuild. He is hailed as among the most significant prospects in world football, and Chelsea bought him from Aston Villa in 2022 for a humongous fee for a player his age.
He has already been playing matches in the Premier League, and his performances have been pretty great. If you cannot purchase him directly in the Career Mode, you can try a Loan-to-Buy deal, and it would probably be the best option to get the services of Carney Chukwuemeka.
