The midfield can include most of the players in a soccer team. As such, in Championship Manager you will certainly need to have a good number of midfielders in your squad, especially if you select formations with five players in midfield. They can play further forward, just ahead of the defenders or on the wings. These are a few great midfield players that you should add to your team.

Gallardo

Monaco's Gallardo is a world-class midfield player. Valued at a relatively modest 3.8 million, this is one player that you should consider adding to your team if you can meet the transfer. Gallardo is a very flexible attacking midfield player that you can play in the center, left or right side of midfield. Gallardo has fantastic flair and technique, and has very good passing and creativity ratings. Gallardo has plenty of pace, and is a great playmaker for any team.

Ainsworth

Ainsworth plays for Wimbledon, and has a transfer value of 675 k. However, Ainsworth should really be valued at 6.75 million. If you're searching for a very quick sprinter, then Ainsworth could be an ideal transfer with a pace rating of 18. In addition, Ainsworth is an outstanding team player, has great balance and is also very fit. Ainsworth is not the best passer of the ball, but is still a great midfield player.

Patsatzoglou

This is a midfield player who can play in defense as well as midfield. A defense midfielder who can play either in the center, or on the right side if required. Patsatzoglou has top ratings for stamina and technique, and is a very good team player. In addition to this, Patsatzoglou has good flair and set piece ratings.

Given that the player is valued at 550 k, this is one midfielder that most higher division clubs can add to their teams.

Selakovic

A great midfield player who can play in the center of midfield, on the right-wing or further forward. Selakovic has a 425,000 transfer value, but despite this has some excellent ratings. Selakovic has excellent stamina, and the player's passing, creativity set piece and team play ratings are all at 15 or 16. As Selakovic can also be played as a forward, he will score lots of goals from midfield as well. Even if not included in your first team, Selakovic is a great player to have as a substitute.

Djordjevic
