EA Sports FC 26 is in full swing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimate Team may be the main focus of the game, but Career Mode has a special place in our hearts. That’s because you can start whenever you want, as many times as you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter who you’re managing the premise and aim of Manager Career — as it’s now called — remains the same. Winning the league and continental trophies, no matter where you start or who you manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve covered centre-backs<\/a>, strikers<\/a>, wingers<\/a> and goalkeepers<\/a> you need to sign in Manager Career, and now it’s time to move onto the defensive midfielders. It’s a position of increasing importance, and some title-winning teams are built off the right No.6. That’s why they cost a lot of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But who do you go for on EAFC 26? We’ve taken a look at some of the top CDMs available to buy in your first window, across an array of transfer fees to make your job a tad easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re just looking at players available in the first window of Men’s Career Mode here, with finances in Women’s Career Mode much different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Values and presence of release clauses may vary per save, while availability may vary depending on strictness of transfers. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
