I’m sure this card is fantastic, but at these levels you’re playing around the margins.
Tottenham is going to make it through to the next stage, so his Road to the Final card is going to be FUT 23 Coins just as good as this one, if not better in some ways. Of course, his RttF card is about 1.9 to 2 million coins so that’s quite a bit different than paying 800K for this version. His price means I’ve really only messed around with him in Drafts, and I personally just don’t get the Son hype. He’s awesome in real life, but I don’t feel it’s necessary to pay these exorbitant sums for Son when there is plenty of other options. I understand the EPL element helps him, but I think you just get the cheaFIFA 23t version of him you can, or wait for this price to come down further after the RttF card gets upgraded.
It will be a cold day in hell when I’m paying 2.3M coins for this card, especially with the SBC coming up later this week. If anything, I’m just fascinated to see what the cost of the SBC is for a 96 overall POTM Messi. I also don’t really feel the need to really review Messi anyway because you know he’s great. I think he’s a little below someone like Mbappe this season, and on the same level as Neymar, but he has a different purpose than someone like Mbappe.
Use your discretion here, more or less.
I’m sure this card is fantastic, but at these levels you’re playing around the margins. I don’t doubt he will dust everyone with even better pace than his normal card, but the card is going for even more than Messi right now at 2.4M coins. I think you’re going to be more than happy with Mbappe if you just stick with his in-form version or base gold. He’s incredible in the game this year, and you absolutely need to try him out in Drafts at the very least, but he’s not worth 2.4M coins when you can spread that coinage out cheapest FIFA 23 Coins elsewhere.
