Lionel Messi Is Once Again the Best Rated Player in FIFA 21

Why? Cristiano Ronaldo has been consistently better than him for the last 3 years.
It's not a big deal, but I think Cristiano is the superior player.
Neymar as the 3rd best does not make a lot of sense to me as well, considering how inconsistent he is.
Although I have these criticisms I don't think it's anything horrible, and I agree with most of it.

love how neymar is still so high. WTF has he did at PSG

@Pat_trick Your greatest player, only job in his team is to tap in goals created by his other team mates(although he does it well),while Messi had to be the main creator and finisher for Barca,he literally carries that team(that is why when Barca mostly loses ,it is due to two or three players man marking Messi the whole game) and there is a reason why Messi has more silverwear and personmal awards than Ronaldo.Plus lets not forget the fact that people tend to compare Messi with the likes of Pele and Maradona,but they never bring Ronaldo into that conversation.
Messi as Cruyff once implied ,is a complete footballer,while Ronaldo is a complete striker.

Neymar should be higher, since he has been very good this season for psg,and he has actually been like PSG's Messi(although he needs to work on his finishing).
Lewa,should be higher than Ronaldo,because he beat him at his own game this season,which is providing goals and an insane goal ratio.
De Bruyne is pretty good,one off if not the best midfielder this past two seasons.
Thiago is now being shafted by fifa,because there is no way in hell ,that Bruno is better than thiago.

Werner got 36 G/A in 34 league games yet got a -1 on his overall.

And don't get me started on the most average player around in Henderson being an 86 whilst Thiago arguably one of the best 3 CMs in the world is an 85.

@rachetmarvel I understand your reasoning but I think you're underplaying Cristiano's importance to the team as whole. And while I agree that Messi is complete and Cristiano is more of a striker, I think recently he has been more effective than Messi. That's not even counting national teams, since Messi's performance at Argentina's national team is a bit underwhelming.

It's pretty much the same in PES2021/20 (the game that already looks more nextgen than FIFA21 on PS5). So I think the argument about Messi/Ronaldo should just end.

Waiting for the Kapernick DLC with a rating of 99.

@Pat_trick What has Ronaldo done in his national team,that is not expected of?no offense, but Portugal won that euro final with out ronaldo,and the nation's league best player was Bernardo Silva(won player of the tournament),not Ronaldo,so I can not say that Ronaldo won those titles for Portugal.And honestly majority of Ronaldo's national goals are statpadded against weak European countries.

The greatest defender of all time did not need an international trophy as a criteria to be the greatest,and neither should the greatest foward player of all time.
Luck was just not on Messi's side in all those four finals,either from losing on penalties,or losing to a 90 something minute goal.

Ea hates Bundesliga and Bayern

@TheArt Yeah i agree Ronaldo is King. 😆

@rachetmarvel Probably missed the start without they would even have made it too the finals.

@Flaming_Kaiser Well you have the only 2 football games rating Messi higher, countless footballers both retired and active favouring him. What else...
