99 - Futties SBC

3.0

I wanted to like him, but I was dissapointed

By JackpotKun, 30-08-2021

I was very excited for this SBC, used a lot of players in my club to do him since I was so excited to be able to craft a 99 Messi and with 5 star skill moves. However, I was disappointed because most of the time he does NOT feel like a 99 rated card. Occasionally he does something so amazing, but most of the time he doesn't. I'm an Elite 3 on PC player, and have used him these past FUT Champs, and if you've ever heard a phrase that his haters call him, 'Pecho Frio', it means that he doesn't play well in important games, but that's how it feels with this card, some games he does some amazing things, feels so good, and gets MVP of the match, but then other games he plays badly, misses a lot, and doesn't do too much in the game.

Pace: He is fast, and mixed with his high dribbling feels fast, definitely not the fastest player I've used but still that doesn't take away anything.

Shooting: Here is where I was severely disappointed, his shooting with his left is either godlike, and does some amazing shot with his left foot or he misses an easy goal, so it's like a 75/25 when shooting with his left, where most of the time the shot is good but sometimes the miss is just surprising. The worst part about this card is his right foot, I can not tell you how many times I have missed a shot with his right, easy simple shots inside the area, alone and he shoots it wide, and don't even try to do an outside the box shot with his right. His 4 star weak foot feels like a 2 star weak foot, because for example I use him with TOTS Ronaldo, who also has 4 star weak foot, but I have scored so many outside the box shots with his left, and I can confidently shoot with his left, but with Messi I have to try to completely force every shot with his left, since in the beginning I found myself subbing him out mid-game out of anger after he misses 3 easy shots with his right, now I just have to remember to ONLY use his left when shooting, which is disappointing and makes shooting with him harder.

Passing: His passing is REALLY good, some of the best I've seen, top-tier so I have no complaints about his passing. Also his free kicks are some of the best, should definitely have Messi on the free kicks if you have him.

Dribbling: Also really good, he has maxed out dribbling stats and is really short so his dribbling feels amazing.

Defending: Doesn't matter with this card.

Physical: Also one of the worst things about this card is his strength, he may have a high strength stat on the card but I'm guessing that because of his height and body type, he feels weak. His pace stat is affected since when he's running full speed a simple tackle pushes him off the ball, so another one of the things that disappointed me about the card. His stamina though is REALLY good, never have to sub him out.

In conclusion, I wouldn't consider this a top-tier card since he disappoints in some aspects of the card. Don't get me wrong, he's good, but he has some things which are holding him back.

• Passing is god-like

• Dribbling feels amazing

• Shooting with his left sometimes produced an out of this world shot

• Pace

• Stamina

• Free kicks

• Strength, feels too weak and is easily pushed off when running

• Shooting with his right is terrible

• He will either be the best or worst player in the match, you never know.

• NOT worth the price

Magisterial!

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...
