Best right and left midfielders in EA FC 24

It is worth noting that all ratings are predicted and all potentials are predictions ahead of EA FC 24.

We will begin with a mix of the highest-rated left midfielders and right midfielders in the game. These players may not all be young talents; however, they do offer instant success to every team in Career Mode.

What makes a good left (LM) and right midfielder (RM)?

This role typically uses quick players with a lot of stamina, allowing them to control the flanks. Running up while attacking and tracking back to defend, this player must have balanced stats to ensure there are no gaps on their side of the pitch.

The 3-5-2 formation means that the LM or RM will cover the entire left or right flank making stamina and pace essential for attacking and defending.

Key stats for this role could include stamina, pace, ball control, interceptions and crossing.

Players will most likely be better at attacking or defending. However, there are a good amount of players on this list who have very balanced stats across the board, which is perfect for this role!
