At the bottom of the article you will find a complete list of all the fastest central midfielders (CM) in FIFA 22.

1. Marcelino Moreno (74 OVR - 76 POT)

• Team: Atlanta United
• Age: 26
• Attributes: 93 Agility, 91 Haste, 90 Balance

Marcelino Moreno holds the title of the fastest central midfielder in FIFA 22, with his 91 acceleration and 87 sprint speed enough to cause problems for any opposing player.

The Atlanta United Argentine playmaker provides his team with some serious pace as well as a skill set to take down defenders. Combine his rough pace with 93 agility, 81 dribbling and five star prowess and Moreno is profiled as one of the most powerful midfielders you can use in the game.

With a release clause of £6,8 million in career mode, Moreno is a suitable signing for a host of potential managers at all levels of the game and given his dazzling form in MLS where he has scored nine times and assisted five more times in just 32 games, his popularity among managers in real life will increase significantly.

2. Marcos Llorente (86 OVR - 89 POT)

• Team: Atletico Madrid
• Age: 26
• Attributes: 90 Sprint Speed, 90 Endurance, 87 Attack Position

Marcos Llorente is an incredibly versatile midfielder, but his 90 sprints and 86 accelerations are what really make the dynamic Spaniard a special player.

Llorente has attributes that most central midfielders could only dream of. His pace, 90 stamina, 86 short passes, 87 attacking positions, 86 visions and 80 standing passes mark Llorente as a huge physical, technical, attacking and defensive figure in Atlético Madrid's world-class central midfield.

At the age of 26, Llorente is only now nearing his physical peak and his whopping £160,8m worth in FIFA 22 reflects how positive his development at Atlético Madrid has been over the last two seasons after they signed him from local rivals Real Madrid for £27 million.

3. Lateef Blessing (71 OVR – 75 POT)

• Team: Los Angeles FC
• Age: 24
• Attributes: 90 Agility, 88 Haste, 87 Stamina

Ratings of 88 acceleration combined with 85 sprinting speed give Lateef Blessing the mobility to operate as a very energetic central midfielder and right back in MLS.

The Ghana's greatest qualities are perhaps his pace and stamina, although Blessing still has the technical attributes to excel in central midfield. 75 dribbles and short passes mean that Blessing can either dribble around an opponent or easily get around an obstacle with a pass.

After starting his professional career in his native Ghana, Sporting Kansas City took a chance on Blessing ahead of the 2017 draft, where he was drafted by the California club Los Angeles. Since the draft, Blessing has been a standout in the LAFC, scoring once in four games, a worthy comeback from center midfield.

4. Federico Valverde (83 OVR - 89 POT)

• Team:  Real Madrid
• Age: 22
• Attributes: 90 Sprint Speed, 86 Stamina, 85 Short Pass

The Uruguayan's early talent has become one of La Liga's top midfielders, and that's in no small part due to his pace, which FIFA 22 rates at 90 sprints and 82 accelerations.

Real Madrid constantly capitalizes on Valverde's mobility in midfield, but it's his playing and defensive abilities that really change the game in their favor when he starts. 85 short passes and 84 long passes means Valverde can cut through teams with a single pass and carve out opposition efforts with 81 interceptions and 80 standing passes.

At 22, the sky is the limit for Valverde, who could be a potential Uruguay centurion considering the fact that he has already played 35 times for his country and has at least another decade at the highest level both internationally. as well as on the inside.

5. Alejo Antilef (66 OVR – 75 POT)

• Team: Arsenal De Sarandi
• Age: 22
• Attributes: 86 Haste, 84 Sprint Speed, 84 Agility

He may not be the most highly regarded central midfielder on this list, but Arsenal De Sarandi's Alejo Antilef, with 86 acceleration and 84 sprint speed, sets him apart from the vast majority of playmakers in the game.

With 75 dribbles and 73 curves per game, Antilef is a decent technician whose ability allows him to influence play in the advanced areas of the field, complemented by his high attacking speed.

An ideal signing if you manage a small team on your save you can pick up the young Argentine for £2,7m and his wages will also be very affordable. Arsenal De Sarandi may be less interested in selling Antilef in real life given that he has gone through the club's youth academy and has never played professionally for another team since his debut in 2017.

6. Horacio Orzan (69 OVR - 69 POT)

• Team: FBC Melgar
• Age: 33
• Attributes: 85 Sprint Speed, 82 Haste, 80 Stamina

A seasoned veteran at 33, Horacio Orzan has a pace you absolutely don't expect from a central midfielder approaching the twilight of his career, with 85 sprint speed and 82 acceleration to put him ahead of his rivals in Liga Peru.

Orsan is calmly competent in all aspects of midfield play. 75 visions and 73 short passes allow him to create chances from open play, 68 free kicks are more than usable in dead ball situations and 69 aggressions and 62 interceptions mean he can also contribute defensively.

Career mode will have better options for a long-term signing, but there's no questioning the Argentine journeyman's experience, given that he played for eight different teams in four different South American countries during his ten-year pro career.

7. Nicholas de la Cruz (79 OVR - 84 POT)

• Team: River Plate
• Age: 24
• Attributes: 92 Stamina, 92 Agility, 88 Aggression

De La Cruz has an athleticism rarely seen in central midfield, and his acceleration and sprint ratings of 86 and 83 respectively represent just one side of his physical gifts.

A four-star weak foot and ability to move along with the specialization of an engine and acrobat player make De La Cruz a special find in FIFA 22. When you consider that he has 92 stamina, 84 curve, 81 dribbling and 80 short passes, the Uruguayan is not only a phenomenal attacking option, but and one of the most underrated players in this year's game.

Having started his career, De La Cruz is available for bigger clubs with a value of £33,6m. At 24, he still hasn't reached his peak in the game, and the same is true in real life with De La Cruz becoming more and more productive for River Plate over the past few seasons since he came from Uruguayan club Liverpool.
