Midfield Engine Room Gets a Major Boost
If this leak is true, the central midfield area could be one of FC 26 Coins the most bolstered positions in FC 26's Hero roster. Gilberto Silva, Carrick, Cambiasso, Fàbregas, and Fellaini all offer a different spin on the midfield role:

Cambiasso: Inter Milan legend and a perfect CDM/CM hybrid—capable of defending, linking play, and scoring the occasional goal.
