Magician

What can you say about one of the best players of all time, this guy is insane. I was lucky enough to pack him in a freeze party pack, and let me tell you, as a gold 3 or 2 player and a regular div 3 player, this man carries me. Messi has the best card I've used all year, and can pick apart the Van Dijks, Hierros, Maldinis, Varanes, Gomezs, etc. I usually player him as the CAM in a 4-2-3-1, and he is the best CAM I've ever used. I don't have meta attackers, midfielders, or defenders, I play FIFA for fun cards, but Messi makes my Freeze Verratti seem like Zola. He makes Freeze Lala look like Mbappe, and he makes Dembele look like Pires. Messi has the best passing out of any card this year, his stats back this up. I use a Catalyst because I wanted to increase his pace (to cheap for a hunter), and Messi can run. He can't necessarily glide past defenders like Mbappe (because of his strength) so don't expect him to. Messi is meant for intricate passing, one two's, and creating chances. He can pick out a pass anywhere and his weak foot doesn't seem like 4* because of his stats. Messi's shooting is also the best I've ever used. He can score from anywhere, he is a poacher in the box and a finesse shot master from out of the box. Now, Messi doesn't have much stamina so you have to conserve it a little, but that's my biggest complaint, just make sure you use him as a CAM and not a ST.

Best passer in the game, no doubt.

Weakfoot (doesn't seem like 4* because of stats)

Dribbling, he's so silky smoothe he can dribble around anyone

Pace with a Hunter or Catalyst

Shooting, he can shoot from anywhere and his chips are sublime

Positioning, he is always where you need him to be

Pace (without a chemistry style that boosts it, slow sprint speed)

Stamina, if you don't conserve it he gets dead at about minute 70

Magisterial!

Dear Messi fans,This one is mainly for you, the ones dedicated to doing everything in their power in order to change the way they survive the current meta and incorporate this magician in their squads. I've been a fan of this player since the very first day he stepped in for the first team in October of 2004 and Ill probably be telling stories about him to my grandkids one day. Having said that, I'l...
