94 - IF

Really good but not worth the coins

By LordMingo, 05-12-2021

So, I've been lucky enough to pack him untradeable in a Ligue1 upgrade and naturally made changes to my team to include him. First impression : Wow, what a player

Yet after 30 games, whilst he is a beast he has some major flaws that made me think his regular (2 times cheaper) is probably a better use of your coins. So let's talk about the pros and cons :

Pros :

-Pace : his pace is ridiculously good compared to his stats, guy is a rocket in the pitch due to his size

-Dribbles : The ball is sticking to his feets. As a CAM, it truly is a game changer how you can wait for your strikers to run while keeping the ball so easily with the GOAT

-Outside the box shooting : basically goes in everytime you're in the perfect position

-Short passing : nothing crazy here but good enough to notice, he is really good in the construction

-Best asset for the last : His movement without the ball is insane, he is always somewhere free to receive the ball

Cons :

-Long passing : Expecting to be his main asset in my team as a CAM (92 long passing, 96 Vision) I was actually shocked at how his long passing was poor. He's really not that great at the last pass

-Finishing : He's not terrible at it but with 96 finishing (99 with Hunter) I was expecting a clinical player and it's not rare for him to shoot in GK's hand in a 1v1

MESSI GOAT

After using Messi for 10 games i think i can make a good review from him. He is simply the best gold card i haved used, i have used CR7 and Messi. Based on the meta that is passing and dribble, Messi y simply best than CR7. His shooting is unbelievable, his passing is another class, his dribbling 100/10, sprint speed is ok/good, and his acceleration is another level. If you have the coins and the links buy him. AWESOME!!!

The Goat

I have been trading to 1 mil coins so that I can buy Messi and a decent squad around him, after about 40 games in div 2- div 3 I have to say this is the most fucked card I have ever used. I have grinded futdrafts and have used all the top players Mbappe, Neymar, Ronaldo,.... but this card is a glitch. Messi's dribbling is so smooth you can just hold R1 move left right left right and break ankles, not only that but his accel...

Lionel Messi

absolute perfect

Hey there,in this years meta its all about small pacey players with good dribbling (agility/balance)... This makes even the gold Messi one of the best players in the game. After using this TOTY Messi in 40 Games in WL an Elite Division I can tell you he ist the GOAT. The way you play him is just fun. The ball sticks on his foot and the shots are like roc...
