For some reason Messi card this year has been underrated by all the pros and streamer, I really have no explanation for this however, everyone else rides the bandwagon and assumed that he is not as op as his card likes of Cr7, neymar and mbappe! TBH im not a hardcore player like streamer and pros but i consider myself a decent fut player since 2012, maybe they have some logic behind that but here is my take on Messi card. I have tried the top 3 in drafts and had the chance to pack messi untradable this year and to be fair I was indoubt as well since there was no hype on this card similar to the other top3 gold cards, so let me clear things up I swear to god Messi this year is nthg different than all other years! in fact this year he is much much better in my opinion due to the relatively cheaper price compared to other top 3 and adding to this the new agile dribbling that EA introduced this year, I can confidently say no card out perform this card in the agile dribbling (equal to Neymar) due to his body type and high agility, ball control and balance, he literally breaks defenders ankles, all you have to do is use the rb button and booom ur messi changes his direction in 1 mm space and the defender is totally out of play, u can easily beat multiple defenders with this move and pass to an open attacker or simply finish it with Messi's top class finishing. Now comes to the main point that turns players off which is PACE! I got nthg to prove over here but I just want you all to know that i played against top pace defenders and this card outplay them pace wise, he rarely loses the ball due to his great ball control while sprinting.

Just to conclude this card is considered a hidden gem compared to his price, if you checked he switches ingame to striker and I completely build my whole low rated team on this card and he is literally my game changer in division 3, if you are in doubt whether to buy Messi or not due to all the concerns around him just go for it he is worth it. The only issue he may have is stamina but if you don't play team press or constant pressure he will easily play till the 80s and score clutches for you.

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...
