Player Review
96 - OTW
Wow, this card really was unbelievable, I've been playing FUT Since 2012, and almost always Messi had a card that didn't really live up to his standards or his rating. I've pretty much always prefered CR7 in-game but this year Messi has just been such a joy to use. I can not wait for his card to get an upgrade because already his base stats are so good. His pace was very good and with a hunter, he just blitzes past defenders, combined with his dribbling stats, it's honestly laughable sometimes watching defenders try get the ball off him. I played mostly divisions rivals and a bit of FUT Champs and he would score screamer after screamer for me. The thing that surprised me the most about this card was his strength, I noticed he could get past players like Van Dijk and Eder Militao and beat them in shoulder challenges a few times I've attached a small video below of some of the goals he scored for me. in 27 games he scored 35 times and had 12 assists playing from the CAM position. I did notice a lot that he drifted up a lot and was ahead of my striker a few times.
Overall this card is definately worth it considering his base stats are insane and he is bound to get an upgrade at some point.
