How to get the best out of Lionel Messi in Career Mode
Lionel Messi is a tricky winger at Inter Miami, rated 88 overall in FC 25, RW. By the standards of the role, that's outstanding. At 37 they've seen it all: an emergency or leadership signing, not a project. Above all they stand out for their dribbling (93).

How do you play Lionel 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 and CAM. The game also rewards them with their PlayStyle+ in Technical and roles like Wide playmaker and Inside forward, 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: dribbling (93), ball control (93) and curve (93). Their dribbling is era-defining and it's the trait to build their game around. And their PlayStyle+ (Technical) 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 31,9 M€ with 22 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.
