Patrick Vieira Icon Review FC 28 — The Ultimate CDM
Vieira is the gold standard for CDMs in FUT. No card dominates the midfield like Vieira. His 6'4" frame, impossibly long legs, and aggressive tackling create a black hole in midfield that nothing gets through. He's been the best CDM in FUT for years — and FC 28 continues the tradition.

Prime Vieira In-Game
Why He's The Ultimate CDM
- Height (6'4"): Massive frame — dominates aerial duels and covers incredible ground
- Long legs: Unique reach — intercepts passes that no other CDM can reach
- Defending (90): Elite tackling, interceptions, and positioning
- Physical (92): Immovable object — nobody pushes Vieira off the ball
- Dribbling (85): Surprisingly agile for 6'4" — carries the ball forward well
- Passing (84): Clean distributor — starts attacks with accurate passes
- Presence: The mere existence of Vieira discourages opponents from playing through the middle
Weaknesses
- Pace (82): Needs Shadow — without it he can be outrun
- Shooting (76): Not a goal threat — keep him deep
- 3★ skills: Limited offensive creativity
- Price: Expensive for a CDM — but his impact on the game justifies it

Final Verdict
Rating: 9.5/10 (Prime) | 9/10 (Mid) | 8.5/10 (Base)
Vieira is the CDM every FUT player dreams of. Even base Vieira is elite — the height, the legs, the physicality create a defensive presence that no other card replicates. Prime Vieira with Shadow is a 92+ pace, 99+ defending, 6'4" wall of muscle. Nothing gets past him. The ultimate endgame CDM.
