Messi the GOAT - even in February!

By zhilla, 23-02-2022

So I bought Messi in november for 410k as Mbappe didn't really feel anything special or really worth the price for me so decided to give Messi a go at ST.

And boy was/is Messi special. He's still a game changer for me. His dribbling is just something else, the ball is glued to his feet and he just turns like no one else.

With hunter his pace is still more than good enough, he feels way faster than someone like TOTY Lautaro Martinez for example, probably because of his amazing dribbling.

Also his shooting and passing is something else, he's a clinical finisher and also assists very well.

Also you would think that his 72 stamina would be a huge problem at this stage of the game but he easily lasts 90 min for me, probably because of his M/L work rates, it's like he's smart enough to preserve his energy, he usually has more stamina in the 80th min than my other strikers with 85+ stamina for some reason.

And the fact that impresses me the most is how consistent he is, most players are good for a few weeks, maybe month but Messi has been incredible for me since NOVEMBER, so I would have to say that this is probably the best card value/performance wise that I have used in FUT history and I have been playing since it since '13.

PS: Before anyone says, I've been in div 2-elite div since November, so these games have all been played at the highest level.

Also I've been playing 4222 formation IG with Messi and Chiesa at ST right now and Alexis / Insigne outwide. This is only my current formation, obviously I've changed a lot of teams since November but the only one that stayed since then is Messi, Kimpembe, Mendy and Donnarumma.

INCREDIBLE DRIBBLING - by far his most important stat
AMAZING SHOOTING
Even though he's got only 85 pace he feels way quicker
Great passing
Very easy to link

Stamina - 72 stamina is obv not the best but he can usually last for 90 min easily
Strength - probably his biggest weakness

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...

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...
