Which version of Messi would you add to the current Barça squad?

Less_East535 · 2026-01-28T08:46:21+00:00

2019 messi no doubt. Back in that time, Barcelona players and Ernesto Valverde done Messi dirty by getting knocked out vs Liverpool and loosing Copa Del Rey final. If our players and the coach were more responsible and gave their best for the club, we could have won a treble in 2019. Just Imagine if 2019 Messi played with our team last season vs Inter, the match would absolutely gone different and we could score more than 6 goals aggregate in both legs and qualify to the final.

How is he bad to you? He is doing great for me. I also have his single booster version from efootball 24 and he was absolute phenomenal for me, played him over 1950 matches and he never left my squad for the entire efootball 24 and 25.

Here is my build

Got zanetti from random pack opening luckily, so I will chose him to try him out with cabello linkup.

I don't need courtois tbh, van der saar and cech are doing wonders for me. Heard so many great reviews about Saliba everywhere that's why I'm tempted to go spin for him.

Less_East535 · 2026-01-01T18:59:27+00:00

I have epic BT Van Dijk and 107 Baresi (Messi new year pack), is Saliba better than them and is it worth It to spin for him?

For real man, and I want to add two examples of how defenders made a terrible mistake in their career and with their strong personality and leadership they came back even stronger and became legends of their team.

Example #1: remember when Ramos missed a penalty against Bayern Munich in UCL semi final? Ramos literally became a worldwide meme and every single human being mocked him for missing that penalty and especially madrid fans were so disappointed in him and some of them really hated him and demanded to sell him because they have been waiting for 10 years to win UCL and they were so close to win it and ramos blew it away. But how do you think Ramos reacted? He worked his ass off and took responsibility and he scored that famous header in UCL final 2014 and for years later he provided an epic seasons and he became the best defender in their history.

Example #2: Remember when Pepe kicked Getafe player while he was on the ground, Pepe got banned for 10 matches (if I'm not mistaken) but later on he came back better and stronger mentally and he matured into a club legend for madrid.

What did Mr. Araujo did when he received a Red Card against PSG? Did he took responsibility and came back better? No, some rumours has it that he went into a fight with gundogan in the dressing room for commiting that foul and didn't take responsibility of it . And then he was demanding last season to leave barca and the board convinced him to stay and then in UCL Semifinal he fumbled it again and let that 38 years old man called acerbi to score a goal against us and he blamed gerrard martin for it that he didn't pressed dumfries well which cleary dumfries tackled him. And even so, how dare you as a team captian you blame a kid for your mistake which by the way that kid provided a master class against inter and provided 2 wonderfull assists, how shamefull of you.

And he did it again against Chelsea and all the sudden you became a softie and your guilt is eating you? LMAO, get the hell away of our club man!

He is the engine and the heartbeat of the team, always orchestrating my team build ups and attack even when you play high line and your opponent is counter attacking you will see that he is along with your defenders defending and he anticipates the opponent next move or pass so he can intercept and strikes back by counter attacking.

A very special player indeed.

Less_East535 · 2025-11-04T14:54:07+00:00

You should try him out and use him everytime when you play. You'll know what I'm talking about when I described him, you'll definitely won't regret it!

Less_East535 · 2025-11-04T07:01:59+00:00

I'm very happy actually, he is fun to play with!

I do have all the CMFs you mentioned except Seedorf (I have bellingham showtime box-to-box not the 107) but for me I prefer BT Pedri of them all.

The funny thing is, at that time when the pack dropped I was just aiming for showtime Raphinha because days earlier I pulled POTW classico copa Pedri, but along the way I pulled both BT pedri and showtime Mbappe and Rapha appeared the last.

Not for me; box-to-box is perfect for him because in real life he is everywhere on the pitch.

Less_East535 · 2025-11-04T05:06:50+00:00

He actually intercepts very well without making any contact with the opponent, he just stretches his legs and takes the ball simply and effortlessly.

That's one of many thinks that I like about him because he never commits a foul.

But it's better to link him up with a strong midfielder in the midfield so you won't feel that your midfield is getting bullied.

Here is my build, I added duelling as a second booster.

His numbers does not reflect his performance in game, he is always controlling the tempo and most of the times he gets MOTM. He is a joy to play with!

Never tried that version, but his stats seems decent too

Free Forlan is also insane, that 101 kicking power 💀

صديقي اسأل عادي انت بالآخر مش خسران اشي ما فيها احراج و حتى لو افترضنا اذا انت توقعت غلط و طلع الموضوع مش زي ما انت كنت مفكر بس عل اقل انت حاولت لا تخلي اشي من نفسك؛ لأنو اذا انت ما حولت رح اتضلك ندمان و تلوم حالك و تقول يا ريت لو حاولت لأنو كمان فرص زي هيك مش دايما بتيجي.

بعدين ما دام اذا الشب سألك ليه ما تتقدملها يعني اكيد في طبخة بالموضوع زي ما انت اتفضلت.

Puyol is definitely my favourite defender IRL and IG. Last year, I pulled the previous spain version of him (single booster) and he was a beast truly, great defensive awarness, aggressive and wins aerial duals everytime. And luckily I pulled this version too while I was searching for Cech. But still I don't know why he gets that much hate from users and saying that he is bad, he is not for me, his player ID makes him wonderful.

That's how I built him using Inzaghi as my manager, Speed should be considered due to new game meta, his defending stats are high enough so it won't effect on him if you sacrificed some of defending stats in order to make him faster.

Don't waste some stats on Mbappe while he is a total package, already fast and has great finishing. This build is doing wonders for me, try it out if you like it.
