I like to play a Solid 4-4-2 but it is very difficult fo find Word Class Left Midfielders. There are loads of Attacking Left Midfielders or Wingers but I'm just looking for a Left Midfielder.

Do you guys have any good choices or am I just as well of Playing with Wingers?

Thanks Peeps

While playing as City, I always went after Yuri Zhirkov as my starting left midfielder. And most attacking left midfielders can drop back easily into the left midfielder spot; with Zhirkov being a natural AML.

Three seasons into my tenure, my rotation at left midfielder was Zhirkov as the starter and Wayne Bridge as the sub. IIRC, Bridge is a natural left fullback/winger.
I am using Emanuelson from Shakhtar and he is good enough.

As long as a player is accomplished at that position there should be no noticable difference against someone who is a natural. It basically just means that although the player is a born winger for example, they are just as adept at filling a left midfield slot. That said, an attacking outside midfielder will usually play as a winger whether you put him at left midfield or left attacking midfield as he wont usually have many attributes to adequately assist defensively.

World Class left midfielder?

One of the best I know is Juan Manuel Vargas from Fiorentina.

FM10 has moved him from being a natural at LB/WB/LM to just natural at left midfield although he is competant further back. Thus he's useful as he can perfectly slot in at left back if you need him too.

He has fantastic all round stats. Most important is his ability to cross well, and hes amazing at deadball situations which make him ideal for free kicks, corners AND penalties. He is about 26 which is a great age for a footballer, he's physically fit, strong, great going forward and more than adequate defensively.

Not many better on the left in my opinion.
diego buonanotte from boca.he is young but after 2-3 seasons he is great
i think one of the best left wingers is Angel Di Maria from Benfica..
he has "minimum fee release clause" in his contract and it's £2.6 M.
Now the date in my game is December,2011 and he is in many major teams' transfer list such as Barcelona, ManU, Real Madrid, Chelsea etc.
I like Jovetic from Fiorentina for left mid, as he can also play up front or on the right of midfield. Hes a youngster but a quality signing

I totally forgot about him!!!

I saw him constantly popping up on the BBC website as a real life transfer target for Chelsea, AC, Barca etc and I couldnt believe how cheap he is in the game relative to how good he is.

Also scouts always say hes very adaptable to living in other countries which is good. Great signing, totally agree.
