Central midfielders are the key components of a football team linking up between the attackers and defenders. They are the engine room of the side, the creators and also the controllers. Having a solid midfield is necessary to achieve success whether in the real world or Football Manager.

Football Manager has some amazing wonderkids in central midfield and in this article, we will help you out with three such players you could target to revamp your midfield area.

Joao Neves: Benfica

Regarded as one of the best talents in world football right now, Joao Neves’ stock is naturally quite high and the same goes for him in Football Manager 2024. An all-round midfielder, Neves can be deployed either at number six or number eight and even as a number ten.

He is technically gifted and is also blessed with a work rate. He is a player you would want to build your team around but will be a costly investment as Benfica won’t let their best talent go for cheap.

Javi Guerra: Valencia

Valencia is known for producing amazing talents over the years and their talent factory is still quite strong even though they are nowhere near the force they used to be. Javi Guerra is the epitome of the greatness of Los Ches Youth Academy and looks destined for the top. He is expected to cost a lot but Valencia is a selling club right now and will cash in for the right fee.

Archie Gray: Leeds United

Leeds United have a solid youth academy and wonderkid Archie Gray is regarded as the finest talent to have come through the Whites’ youth ranks in a very long time. Coming from a family of footballers, he has football in his genes and looks like the next Steven Gerrard in the making.

A midfielder who can play anywhere in the middle in any role assigned to him, he can be moulded into a superstar midfielder in years to come. At just 17, he is unlikely to accept a move now but he should be your absolute priority whenever he turns 18. He can already be a squad player in any top team and a starter for teams who are looking to establish themselves at the top of the football pyramid.
