Amazing card but not worth the coins

Disclaimer: All players I will be reviewing I have used for at least 100-200 games in FUT Champions, reviews will be short but concise as I will be reviewing many players throughout the next couple of weeks that I have used throughout the course of Fifa 18.

I have used Messi's normal gold card throughout different periods in this current Fifa and wow he is amazing. Best CAM in the game IMO except for maybe TIF Neymar, Ronaldinho, and Del Piero. So I had some extra coins sitting around and I decided to try out his hero card and in short, do yourself a favor and stick with his normal card. His hero card is 2X the price and in game he feels pretty much the same. I played him at CAM (switch formation in game) with Prime Bergkamp and TIF Son and he was great but didn't notice a difference between hm and his normal card after applying a HAWK chem style.

Decent upgrade in passing and physical
Card design is aesthetically pleasing
Every bit as beast as his normal card

Horrible value for coins
Hard to link
Very unnoticeable upgrade in stats
Still weak despite upgrade in physical

Is he worth it...

So above is the squad I used him in, and playing with him is a joke sometimes, in a good way. We all know the MLS weekly objective going on this week, it's tough, gritty, and a good challenge for the games where you're not just trading goals. In one game, the guy has a full icon team plus 2 MLS players uptop. So I ask guy if we can trade goals, he says sure, scores his two, immediately pauses puts away his MLS players and b...

Messi is a magician!

He is truly a magician. Although he didn't suit my style of play but every touch he had while I used him was magical! With him, you gotta be patient, smart and wait for the moment! His long shots are sure goals most of the time. His free-kicks are fantastic.

From another galaxy

So, like everybody else, I did the TOTS LaLiga SBC. I opened the pack, I saw that argentinian flag, Striker....Barcelona......and then Leo Messi. I didn't know how to react, as my pack luck untill now has been garbage.I am a Cristiano Ronaldo fan in real life. In Fifa18 I only played that TOTY Ronaldo in online draft, but I gotta say that Leo Messi feels so much better in game. Maybe because I am us...
