Central Midfielder
I have a couple of different archetypes for CMs but they tend to be at least interchangeable because some of the players are just good enough all around to play several different roles. I show their ratings in BWM (D), BBM (SU) and DLP (SU) because each of those roles showcase different attributes and it gives me an idea of what type of player each CM is. I have 6 total players in the senior squad that can play the CM spot, but Beyrac might be playing both CM and CB and Ricard will definitely be playing in the CAM spot. With more CBs on the team I might be able to utilize Beyrac more in the BWM (D) role, but for right now, Lassana Keita will be the starting BWM (D) role and his backup will be 19 year old Moustapha Niang, who already looks great for the senior squad. Niang is also versatile enough to play the other CM role which is either a BBM (SU) or a CM (SU) with personalized player instructions if I don't want them shooting. Lemaire and Courtois will be the two rotational starters in the more box-to-box role. Niang and Oliver are the best U21s on the roster and Niang is already good enough to be in the senior squad, I will try to get Oliver out on line. I also have plenty of depth in the younger age groups with a couple of 15/16 year olds with decent ratings. There's just a lot of youth depth at this position, so certainly someone will pop!
At the BBM (SU)/CM role I really like both Lemaire and Courtois. Lemaire is probably the best of the bunch at this role, but Courtois has more flexibility. He doesn't have great speed, but that combination of technical and vision would let me use him as a DLP if we decide to put the playmaker in the CM and play with something more like a shadow striker in the CAM slot.
For the BWM (D) spot these three players are pretty well rounded - with only Niang's aerial ability letting him down.
Niang is also from Senegal so he might have the ability to do double duty on my squads!
