With 91 aggression, 90 strength, and 87 for his slide tackle, not to mention 88 long shots, Casemiro is built around power and brute force. Knocking him off the ball is impossible, and the 89-rated Brazilian is a nightmare for opponents looking to break through in the midfield.

The final part of probably the best midfield triumvirate in all of EA FC Coins. German legend Toni Kroos rounds out an exceptional trio with his own superb rating of 88.

Kroos offers a nice balance to that which is provided by Modric and Casemiro. A technician similar to Modric, Kroos‘ passing range is phenomenal, whilst his effectiveness at set-pieces, including free kicks, corners, and penalties, add another layer of value to an unbelievably complete player. 88 ball control, 88 crossing, and 93 long and short pass are attributes most of Kroos' contemporaries can only dream of.

Easily one of the finest midfielders of his generation, perhaps of all time, diminutive Croatian Luka Modric is still going strong at 36 years old as an absolute necessity at the heart of this Madrid team. At some point, the likes of Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni will end up as the new vital cogs in the Madrid machine, but right now Modric remains the logical choice.

He isn‘t fast, strong, or particularly impressive in the air, but Modric‘s technical abilities, be they long passes (89), crossing (86), ball control (90), or composure (92) make him essential as a creative midfield force.

One of Real Madrid's most improved players last season, Vinicius Junior is finally looking like the unplayable phenom many Madrid fans hoped he would become when he signed for the Spanish giants in 2022.

Vinicius Junior's current overall rating of 84 will likely receive a boost when FC 24 drops, but right now his game is one built on pace, skill, and direct, aggressive attacking play. Purists may prefer Eden Hazard (also with an 84 rating), but the Brazilian's pace (95 sprint speed!) and technical ability are a lethal combination.

Aside from Courtois in goal, Karim Benzema is likely the first name on any team sheet. Perfectly suited to the front three formation, Benzema‘s physicality and unparalleled finishing prowess mean that cheap FIFA Coins he‘s ideal for getting on the end of crosses and dominating aerial battles.

Placing the Frenchman as a false nine also allows him to drop back and become more involved in proceedings, dropping back to win aerial duels and then allowing pacier wingers, namely Valverde and Vinicius Junior to find space behind.
