How we rank Centre Half Defensive Midfielders
Meta Score rates a card in a specific role rather than overall. It weighs the attributes that role needs, PlayStyles and PlayStyles+, AcceleRATE, skill moves, weak foot, height and Role+ / Role++, and tests every chemistry style at full chemistry to find the best one. OVR only averages attributes, so a lower-rated card often plays better in the right role.
Prices are console Transfer Market prices. Cards you can't buy, like SBC and objective rewards, are included on this page and marked in the price column.
