Quicker than me running for a pizza

By Strattz10, 21-03-2018

So, the old Messi Vs Ronaldo argument will never end but let me give you some idea on how the Argentinian goal scoring machine played for me.

Pace 10/ 10 heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssss sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo quicckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

He is so agile it's unreal, makes ronaldo feel like Emile Heskey with his agility.

I'm not sure why he feels more agile than his TOTY card but he does. He feels more responsive to skills and LB/L1 dribbling.

It sounds strange but sometimes I feel the CR7 and Messi TOTY cards are maybe too quick for button response and I end up being pretty useless with them :(

Shooting 10/10 his finesse shots... ohh my.. they just go in from anywhere. The power and speed in his shooting is just fantastic, before your finger is off the shoot button the balls smashing the goalkeeper in the face and knocking him into his own goal! But seriously the best shooting i've felt in any card this fifa.. I have used CR9, CR7, TOTY Kane and by far Messi's little legs have produced the best shooting.

He didn't score any headers for me but somehow managed to out jump defenders to get the headers, they always ended up parried by the keeper or missing.

Strength 7/10 its the same comment every Messi card, yes he is small, it's obvious Koulibaly is going to out strength him so anticipate where the defenders are going to tackle you, draw them in and dribble.

Passing 9/10 Able to pull off some great tiki taka passing with this card as he is so quick to get into position when using LB + A passing. He bagged me 8 assists in 10 games

agility, pace, shooting, shot power, finesse shots, low driven shots, short passing.

strength, long passing, heading.

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...
