In terms of his career, many might say he did a Thierry Henry or Cesc Fabregas but he’s more like a N’Golo Kante like of player. Why Henry and Fabregas? He joined Arsenal from AS Monaco and then moved to Barcelona. And Fabregas because he moved from Arsenal to Barcelona and then joined Chelsea.

Even though I compared his Kante, he’s not got the pace of his fellow Frenchman. Petit can be very good to stop counter attacks and also make the necessary interceptions when the forwards lose the ball. He’s rated at 87 and can be one of the best Central Defensive Midfielders in the can easily.

#6 - Juan Sebastian Veron

He’s here! He’s finally here! Veron has been one of the names that many have been wanting to in the game. A FIFA 04 legend who’s always been a favourite of the gamers who have played the game since FIFA 2000.

If you are someone who loves shooting from long range, Veron is a must in your team. He’s got a shot power of 82 and a pass rating of 87. Apart from that, he’ll able to dribble easily and can also muscle the opponents off the ball. A central Midfielder who’s rated at 88 - Veron is someone you should keep an eye out for.
