How we rank Deep-Lying Playmaker 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.

Only cards on the console Transfer Market for 250K coins or less are included. Switch to PC above the ranking to rebuild the list from PC prices.
