98 - TOTY

Messi TOTY Review, can't you see? :) GOAT
By Alexz1806, 23-01-2023

I'm writing this review during swedish class, please show your boy some love and appreciation.


Anyway you probably wonder how this kiddo writing this packed Lionel Messi TOTY, well I was lucky enough to get him on my 2nd account (my very first pack) which I never use, although it changed now. It's a new RTG account. Anyway let's head to the review because that is why you are here my friend.


We all know this card is already a beast but it's fun to share the experience.

  • Best card i've ever used, well no hmhm sherlock.
  • GOAT, and Ronaldo is second best. W, just my opinion and just facts.


I played him in a False nine position only with a Hunter chemstyle. Averages 5-6 goals per game (90 min, not counting rage quits )


Alright let's go to the stats...


Pace: 10/10. More rapid than the speed of light, literally. Slap him on a hunter, not literally. 0-60 mp/h in 0.01 seconds.


Shot: 10/10. Best shot in the game. Best finesse shot in the game. Best outside foot shot (trivela) in the game. 4 star WF noticeable 1 per 5 shots, rest goes skying in the net.


Pass: 10/10. Best passing ability in the game, nothing more to add.


Dribble: 10/10. This Midget Spinner twist players inside out. R1 dribbling is a glitch. 4* skill moves in nice, but you barely need skillmoves at all.


Defence: N/A. "Best defence is a good offence" so perhaps it's a 10/10.


Physique: 8/10. Might depend if you slap a Hunter or a Hawk. Stamina is enough and strengh is the major difference from his other cards. Jumping ability is good if he wide open.

Everything.

Size in terms of dribbling and technique.

Stamina in fut champs.

Size in terms of heading and physique.

Price, if you can't pack him like me. ;)

The best attacker on the game (if you don't skill)
By meltingfredo77, 17-02-2023

Standard disclaimer - I'm an old gen elite div player who normally finishes between 16-18 wins in Champs and have used most top level meta attackers so here is the review. Having now got about 100 games on him, fundamentally, this is the best attacking card on the game for any playstyle that is not reliant on 5* skill moves. The combination of his maxed statistics, unique body type, unique animations and ridiculous attacking AI make hi almost unstoppable.


Pace (9.5/10) - Acceleration is unbelievable and makes me feel like I have explosive on old gen. Sprint Speed is very good and if he's in behind he won't be caught but not quite AL Owairan levels.


Shooting (10/10) - Flawless, animations are too fast for opponents to effectively react and if you green time your shots or take high percentage angles it will score. Also feels like a 5* weakfoot.


Passing (9.5/10) - Again virtually flawless. I've only given 9.5 because EA haven't given him a custom pass animation for the switch out to an overlapping left back (if you watched Prime Messi and Alba you know what I mean)


Dribbling (10/10) - Literally ridiculous you can left stick fidget spin wherever, whenever and there's nothing your poor opponent can do.


Physical (8/10) - For his size it's absolutely incredible, particularly when left stick dribbling he shields so well but obviously don't try and straight up body Van Dijk
