Hi guys , i did this review on my YT channel (Luiselme) so if u want a more visual review u can go and check it ;)

So, Messi went to PSG (sorry barca fans :( ) and everyone in the community asked for a eoae Messi and now ea releases a futties version with 5 SM!! (H ecant get a barca card because he is now at psg). I played 5 games with him (division 1) and scored 6 goals and did 0 assists, i used him in 2 positions : CAM and ST , i think his best postion is ST because of the 5* SM, on CAM he is also insane with those perfect passes:

PACE: Because of his body type, Messi always runs with the ball sticked to his foot, and that occasionated him to feel slow but in this futties version this doesn´t happens , he is sooo fast , any defender can catch him if u use the bridge with him, that´s omething that really surprised me

SHOOTING: His shots are beatiful , seriously, he can bang 30 meters finesses goals, he never misses an open chance, his power shot is insane, 10/10

PASSING: His passes are crazy, he can rock 60 meters passes perfectly, don´t be afraid of doing risky passes with him

DRIBBLING: I always wanted a 5* sm messi, and he finally has one, he can do elasticos or okocha´s flick perfectly, i higly recommend u to do a lot of skills with him because he is also a fun player!

PHYSICALLY: The difference between this version and others is that he is a rock! , he can body any defender like Ramos or Militao , that surprised me

CONCLUSIONS: If u have the coins and the fodder obviously do him, he is a perfect card , fun , 5sm he has everything

Hope u liked and enjoyed my review I always try my best :)

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.
