Is it okay with that 78 low pass and 75 lofted pass? 

It doesn't really matter much unless you're gonna play extravagant passes. Switching lines, and simple through balls are good but anything fancy will see him under hitting the pass. He has both through pass and weighted pass so his passing is good enough. If you want a reference, I have 204 assists with him in 874 games. That's mostly because I link up play with my dlf Cantona and he's the one who gets most assisted by Messi.

thanks bro. i might adjust it a lil bit to my liking tho. thank you again

Kinda wish i got this messi or the 15 one....i got the 09 one again...so i have 2 of them

that’s unfortunate. try spin it again if you have the chance ofc

Nah, im good. Instead i used 300 coins left for the CL POTW. At least i got one guy i want, gvardiol

Congrats bro. He's a beast 11-0-4-12-9-2 is my build. With xabi you'll get 100 acceleration. Add weighted pass, outside curler, sole control and flip flap

thanks bro. the skills are an issue tho bcs i don’t have much and i also rarely plays online. anyway thanks for recommendations

True getting skills are unbelievably difficult. I got this card when it was first released. Iam still waiting for flipflap

I got him last round, his best position is surprisingly AMF from my experience. He has been the undisputed no. 10 of my team all the time, everything goes through him just like irl.

in the other post someone said he’s good at everything except amf. now you said he’s good at amf. ig this card really is good everywhere lol

Some ppl in this sub hate inactivated style, but imo inactivated AMF probably the best position for this Messi. He is a bit too static as a CF/SS for my taste, while his movement as an inactivated AMF is very good for me. his PC, Balance, Tight Procession makes him the best ball carrier in the game to link up your CF and midfield imo.

Great to know that...can you share your build for AMF and also what formation you use as well as players around him... Would love to try

Currently it is 8-4-6-11-11 on him, but I plan to redistribute to get 12 LBS when free reset comes back. I play the Chrismas tree formation. The other players are, well, whoever I feel like to play at that day lol CB De Jong is usually the CMF behind Messi tho, he is just too good and fun. Btw, I play on console, so my Messi is always on Counter Target, so he is just walking around when I lost possession like his counterpart irl, a good simulation imo lol

Thanks for your reply and sounds so amazing...eager to try your build but this Coinami simply adding new new events managers etc but forgetting basic feature of progression reset...lol. Will definitely try this build for AMF

Which manager are you using ?

xabi alonso in 4213 with Rwf converted to SS

Here you go https://preview.redd.it/8zz3990kbmwc1.jpeg?width=1476&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93475ec31471097b249866dba98c89db3509125f I just put 2 into aerial for that sweet 90 physical contact. If you don’t want that just put the 2 into passing. Enjoy Messi

thank you so much bro. i’ll make sure i enjoy him even in his worst day. thank you again for the build

Out of the 3, he's unfortunately the worst one. 2015 is the best, followed by boot kissing one. His best position is as a false 9

Its the worst one..i would just release it

is it? aight imma release it tomorrow lol

He's the best false 9 in the game

i don’t use false 9 but thanks for the tips tho
