96 - LaLiga POTM SBC

5.0

The Messiah

Few words:

Hi, this will be my first review so I hope I do okay. For the last two weeks I was really hoping that Leo will win the La Liga POTM so I would be able to complete him. After completing the Icon player pick, this beautiful little guy costed every last penny. And a little spoiler, worth every last penny. I might be biased since I have been Barca fan since 2010 and I'm watching the Osasuna-Barca game while writing this review.(Messi had a beautiful assist)

I used Messi's regular card in December but replaced him after I packed George Best in base or mid Icon pack

The actual review:

So, I played him as CAM in 41212(2). Only is this Weekend League. His passing was already brilliant on his base card and that remained fairly the same. His finesse shots are wicked, I have never seen a player who shoots finesse shots like this guy. I have used players with the finesse shot trait however these are next level. Absolutely breathtaking. His shooting all and all is great but what would you expect. I applied hunter so his pace was quite good. A lot of people are not using this card because of its lower stamina however, once I set him as a stay forward, I did not feel like it has been an issue.

The thing that surprised me the most about this card is his positioning and attacking spirit. He has extremely aggressive runs. Feels like high attacking work rate. He is always looking for space and making runs.

Conclusion:

Contrary to what some people are saying I do not feel like this card is overpriced. Yes, he costs 2 mil. Yes, he is untradeable. But he is an endgame card.

Acceleration
Freekicks
Finesse shots (Screaming without the S) and obviously his left foot but his weak foot wasn't an issue
Passing
Attacking Positioning

Strength and Aggression
Could have had better dynamic picture.

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...
