Detail Review

Pace

Not crazy explosive but he glides across the pitch. Sudden change of directions can really help him to create space, which he exploits with creative passes or clinical finishing. (9.3/10)

Shooting

Lethal with either foot. Scoring from within and outside the box with ice cold precision. Free kicks, finesses or long range shots, Messi excels as an attacking CAM or RW. (9.7/10)

Dribbling

Really good, turning is incredibly smooth. In close spaces, he can be a headache to get the ball from. His wing play is good too, turning and twisting, always creating danger. A shame he lacks the 5*SM. (9.8/10)

Passing

Quite above average, long through balls and quick one touch passes are his forte. Unlocking the defence with a single pass, Messi's playmaking is top notch. (9.8/10)

Stamina

A card that tires around the 60th min mark, recommended to get a sub. (8.9/10)

Physical

A bit on the weaker side but doesn't pose too huge a problem if you know when to release the ball. (9.1/10)

Overall Rating: 9.4/10

Final Verdict

Insane CAM, RW. Exceptionally meta in MM and VSA, meta too in H2H at a slightly lower degree. A complete attacker that would fit into every team.
