99 - TOTS

1.5

Over-Priced Maximin

By WaterSteak3, 08-05-2020

Hi Guys its me.

Just like you guys im an ordinary fifa player who weekly gets that Bronze 1 in champs.

After the daily grind i completed the daily objectives and when i opened it my jaw just dropped.

Messi.

I got TOTS Messi in the pack and despite it being untradebale i knew i had to find a way to get him in the team.

After a long struggle i decided to bench my Maximin and put Messi RW in a 4-3-3 (5) formation (Linking him to my Lanzini, Lo Celso and Zabaleta)

I instantly thought this card would boost me up the ranks and maybe see myself in a Silver finish.

I can already tell you, no.

This card is far too weak and slow. He gets bullied of the ball by gold cards like Virgil Van Dijk and doesnt win the headers against the likes of Van De Sarr.

To top it all off he missed a pen, after scoring 12 pens in a row.

Have to say overall i am dissapointed and BeliveAllan Saint-Maximin to be beter suited to this game.

NOT WORTH THE COINS.

Weak Foot- Honestly i found Messi to have a better weak foot then strong. EA this shouldnt happen. Messi should be able to bamg them in on his right foot but instead when he scores, a rareity, he scores on the weaker Left Foot. So his Weak Foot is actually decent.
Passing- He can do them 5 yard passes with a 81.6% pass rate.
Free Kicks- He came the closest to scoring fom a free kick for me this whole year- He hit the bar. This lads set pieces are worth 10 mill but the est isnt even worth 1k.

Vision- If the player isnt 5 yards away screaming for the ball Messi cant pass.
Dribbling- He just runs with the ball and always ends up getting tackled, only beating 3 players before losing it and wastng my hard earned chance.
Shooting- He just misses the goal, poor.
Heading- As expected Messi wins every header but they always fly miles wide or dont go where i aimed it: should be better

Why Messi could be the pinnacle of FIFA 20

Messi feels like the most complete Attacker in the game. Unbelievable Ball control, pace, passing, and shooting. He slots in perfectly to the META of this current FIFA. In previous versions his size and physical stats inhibited him, but not this time around. Its very hard to lose the ball with him and when playing a possession style of play he dominates. Seems like a no brainer to say if you have the chance, buy this card!

Best Card in FUT20!

So I was lucky enough to pack an untradeable TOTY Alisson and a tradeable TOTY Messi Last Thursday.As I wanted to try Politano and Malcuit on the right side first, I needed to change the team a bit. I didn't want to cut IF Varane so playing Mendy on 7 chem was necessary.Playing an ingame 4-2-3-1 with Messi on CAM, this card is simply INSANE!30 games of Weekend League Mode with asto...

The little magician

On Wednesday night look fell my way. Expecting Ocampus I skipped the walkout bit but saw a flash of the Barca badge and went mental, just like my opponents for Messi's first 11 games. I played him Cam in 4231 in game and he was by miles the best player I have ever used. His finesse shots are just another level along with his finishing and free kicks. His passing is just incredible - never intercepted. Dribbling is ju...
