Midfielders

[valid moss]

Hi, what skills do I need for my central midfielders? If I place a player right in the center of the pitch, his top bar reaches 100%, but if I place him in any other area of the midfield (not the wings), his bar drops by almost half. I can’t post images, but I hope you understand what I mean

It all depends on the players strength, the higher the strength the less he loses on the top bar. Which foot he prefers can also effect this. If he is left footed and you try to move him to the right the top bar can reduce. As he gets stronger you can move him left or right without any loss.
One other fact to take into consideration is the personality, if he is inflexible, he has to be placed into the centre otherwise the top bar will reduce no matter what his strength is
