How to get the best out of L. Messi in Career Mode
L. Messi is a winger at Inter Miami (86 overall, RW) — outstanding at that. At 38 they've seen it all: an emergency or leadership signing, not a project. Above all they stand out for their ball control (94).

How do you play L. Messi?
Their place is out wide as RW. Give them the ball out wide and space to attack: they beat their marker one-on-one and look for the byline or the shot from their side. They can also play ST, CAM and RM. The game also rewards them with their PlayStyle+ in Tiki Taka and roles like Wide playmaker and Winger, which reinforce that profile. Technically, their 4★ skill moves give them options in one-on-ones and they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: ball control (94), curve (90) and dribbling (89). Their ball control is era-defining and it's the trait to build their game around. And their PlayStyle+ (Tiki Taka) push that ceiling even higher.
Where do they struggle?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 26 M€ with 20 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2025, you have leverage to bring the price down.
