Messi's better than Higuain at a lot of things, but finishing isn't one of them.

Seeing that he has no index cards yet (but he has stars), I'd like to recommend the following for this guy:

P07 - Mazing run
S02 – Passer

I would personally add:

S06 – Outside Curve

Well i didn't really watch Guti this season but since there're strong rumours about he'll sign with Besiktas, i was trying him in my game for a while and i observed that he simply can't hold on to the ball enough to perform a well adjusted through pass in midfield before some crazy dmc charges and ...

I think there's enough agrees on LPA for the update now.

As for aggression, I agree that 70 seems a much better value. He goes forward to shoot a lot.

Jump? I haven't really noticed, I'd love to see more opinions though.

No objection from me.

How about the 94 LPA that a few agreed with? Does anyone disagree?

I can agree with 94 LPA. Would be almost god region but not quite - perfect for Xabi.

I disagree, mainly because he didn't get enough playing time and he spent a fair part of the season injured.

I think it had a lot to do with the tactics. And on a bigger extent with the quality of the players. You had Schweinsteiger, Khedira and Ozil against Xavi, Xabi Alonso and Iniesta, all undoubtedly world class midfielders - who also had a numerical advantage on Germany's midfield 3 thanks to Busquets...

these are the suggestions of Kev and me Def: 70 BB: 83 LPA: 86 LPS: 87 Agg: 76 Ment: 88 add *covering Agree with everything. I'm not too sure on covering so I'd leave that to everyone else's judgement, but the rest of the changes look very good. And I would add: P08 - Pinpoint Pass

Does he perhaps deserve a yellow number in SPA? I see him get the ball out of defense very tidily always.

DA isn't the ability to dribble, is the ability to has the ball sticky at the foot while the player has the control of the ball, not so many players could have the ball more sticked at the foot than Xavi. I'm aware. The issue is that with his current stats (most likely a combination of agility and ...

Like I earlier said, this/last year he's worked on his athletic ablities and that's noticable. BB 84 -- Yes in pair with Benzema, but Benzema have more weight, so he will be still stronger. TS 89 -- Messi was updated just before WC, now Messi has TS 89 and I don't think that he's 1 pts ahead of Hig...

OMFG SO OVERRATED. His stamina should def not be 90, he's not the kind of player who runs all over the place, as stated above his movement is due to his teamwork, also, how does he deserve a 91 DA? His DA has increased by 4 or 5 points in the last couple months?? He has good close control, but does...

Agree as well.

Thanks for testing it for everyone.

Suppose we could either leave it at 87 then, or raise it a point or two, but never orange numbers. The defense sounds good at 71.

I think Balance is still overrated. it's a tad unrealistically dominant with this value. also ,i'm not totally sure that he should be over Lucio or De Rossi in terms of Mentality. I just ask guys to find right values for everything,cause making a such total package player would make him really too ...

I agree with 73 defense, as well as mentality around 90.

I'm entirely serious. Di María was at least a threat down the right flank on the second half, and helped out defense somewhat, after a terrible first half. Messi did nothing at all today, and Tevez did nothing offensively. Maxi was missing even more than the rest. Pastore, fair enough, but he had li...

I meant centre midfielder.

Do you think we could add MC as a position? He played there for Brazil and did it very efficiently.
