On a journey to discover the best young midfielders in FC 24? Then you've arrived at your destination!

Although TOTY is dominating the game right now, Career Mode continues to be enjoyed by many, and whatever the tactical setup, you’ll need quality in midfield to dominate match proceedings through ball retention and the creation of chances in attack.

This article will detail the finest midfielders that you should have at the top of your recruitment shortlist following Title Update 7, so without further ado, let's dive in!

Jamal Musiala (86 OVR - 93 POT)

After swapping Chelsea for Bayern Munich a few years ago, Jamal Musiala has become one of the brightest young midfielders in world football, something EA clearly agree with based on his 86 overall rating and immense 93 potential, the highest for a midfielder in FC 24.

Musiala also has five-star skill moves and a dribbling attribute of 94, along with 93 agility and an impeccable 92 balance.

In the 20-year-old CAM, You have the perfect player who can quite easily weave past multiple defenders without breaking a sweat, causing a threat no matter the opposition.

Jude Bellingham (87 OVR - 92 POT)

It won't come as a surprise to see Real Madrid sensation and TOTY inclusion Jude Bellingham make this list. The 20-year-old became just the second Real Madrid player to score 10 goals in his first 10 appearances for the club after Cristiano Ronaldo achieved a similar feat many years ago, and the Englishman hasn't looked back since.

An additional 16 goal contributions later and Bellingham finds himself with an 87 rating and 92 potential in FC 24, which some may argue should be a tad higher based on his performances in real life.

Bellingham wields the perfect combination of technical ability and mental fortitude with 88 short passing, 86 finishing, 85 aggression and 85 composure, not to mention his 93 stamina which makes him an absolute engine in the middle.

Pedri (86 OVR - 92 POT)

Lots of football pundits have run out of superlatives to describe the talent of Barcelona’s Pedri, and rightly so.

The young Spaniard is pivotal to the tiki-taka playstyle of the Catalan giants, as he’s able to progress the ball from deeper areas as well as lay off accurate passes to teammates in advanced positions.

With an overall rating of 86, Pedri is among the top four highest-rated young midfielders in FC 24 and one of the most fun to use thanks to his 90 balance, 88 vision, 88 short passing, 88 ball control, and 88 agility.

Florian Wirtz (86 OVR - 91 POT)

Florian Wirtz continues to play a pivotal role in the Bayer Leverkusen attack, scoring five goals and assisting seven in 18 league games so far this season.

Wirtz is the playmaking heartbeat of his team, equipped with really high dribbling, passing and ball control attributes that enable him to glide past opposition defenders and thread neatly weighted through balls to his teammates in the game.

Managing a player like Wirtz in Career Mode is a dream, especially because he’s blessed with 89 vision and 84 composure that ensure he makes the right on-field decisions each and every time. More so, Wirtz has a four-star weak foot, making him a dangerous attacking threat from either side of the pitch.

Gavi (83 OVR - 90 POT)

Barcelona’s production line at their La Masia academy has been nothing short of impeccable over the last few seasons, and Gavi is one of the players to rise up through the youth ranks to claim a senior spot within the world-class Catalan team.

Boasting an impressive overall rating of 83, Gavi is an energetic player who will work his socks off each and every game should you decide to manage him in Career Mode. Alongside his great stamina, the young Spaniard is really quick both on and off the ball, as this is backed up by his high ratings for agility, reactions and balance.

You can basically mould Gavi into whatever sort of midfielder you like, because he’s also got impeccable technical qualities in the game which are best exemplified by his short passing, dribbling and ball control ratings of 84, 86 and 85 respectively.
