With ~1.5mil in the bank I decided sod it I'm going to give Messi a go. I've never had the chance to try him out on the last couple of FUT's. I swear whoever said he was a small weakling needs to be partially shot, ok he is small.... But I've had him shrug off the likes of Ramos off the ball. His dribbling is pure god like it feels like I'm not turning a truck for once.
My team 433(3):
UP Griezmann - Messi - Di Maria
Alonso - Xavi - Khedira
Marcelo - Ramos - IF Godin - Alves
Jolly Green Giant
I decided to use these as I haven't used most of them players so thought it would be worth a go trying a new batch. UP Griezmann I am surprised with he is actually quite good nothing too special but good enough. I would prefer Neymar but can't afford the LW so I have the ST ver on the bench to sub on from time to time. Xavi I never liked the look of but man his passing is another level. I think Khedira is pretty god damm solid too I expected him to be god awful and was just going to wack Song there. But I'm glad I put Khedira there he really is good. Then there is Messi... its like he is on steroids all the time. Constantly going for the ball, constantly getting into great positions, his dribbling second to none (although granted I haven't used Ronaldo) That left foot is a bloody rocket I don't think he has missed the target once. Even his passing is just stupidly good so he can play it very well to the wingers or back to the midfield without problems. I've won 8 games on the trot with this team, maybe I am still in honeymoon mode with it but I actually do not want to play another team at the moment having so much fun with it
