Lionel Messi joins PSG. The news shook not only the real football world but will also be exciting for FIFA 22. Because Paris Saint-Germain is likely to field one of the most powerful teams in FIFA history.
This is the latest transfer in the real football world: Lionel Messi, who battled Cristiano Ronaldo for years for the title of the best footballer in the world, is leaving FC Barcelona after 21 years. His new employer: Paris Saint-Germain in the French Ligue 1.
PSG has been chasing the Champions League title for years and recently had, purely based on names, one of the best teams in the world. In 2020, PSG even reached the Champions League final, but had to succumb there to FC Bayern.
This year, PSG has again made significant purchases to get closer to the Champions League title. Messi is the biggest, but not the only transfer that PSG has made.
The result: An incredibly strong team that will likely have the strongest ratings of all clubs in FIFA 22.
Even on the official FIFA Twitter channel, the question has already been raised as to whether PSG might become the first six-star team in FIFA history. It likely won’t happen that Paris surpasses the known rating limits. But where the thought comes from is shown in the squad overview of PSG.
PSG in FIFA 22 – A team without weaknesses?
The unbelievable attack: If you look at the attack of Paris Saint-Germain, you get the impression that the decision-makers are just playing Ultimate Team in real life. Because PSG now has some of the most dangerous players in attack.
- Lionel Messi is one of the most creative, finishing, and dribbling strong players of all time. In FIFA 22, he will surely take one of the top positions among the best players. It’s quite possible that he will once again be the highest-rated player in the game (icons excluded for now). If he gets a Ones-To-Watch card that improves with each TOTW nomination, he should quickly accumulate upgrades in Ultimate Team.
- Kylian Mbappé is not only the cover star of FIFA 22, but also one of the most feared cards in the game. The Frenchman is incredibly fast, has endless skill moves, and possesses a dangerous finish.
- Neymar completes the trio. The Brazilian is also among the strongest cards in FUT history, excelling with skills and dribbling. Neymar will certainly be represented in the top 10 as well. You can find a prediction for the FIFA 22 top 10 ratings here.
This trio alone should elevate PSG to FIFA heaven in terms of attack. And there are still players coming: Among others, Angel di Maria, also a highly rated dribbler, or forward Mauro Icardi are still involved in Paris.
The strong midfield: In midfield, Marco Verratti was already a strong player for PSG, and now the French have also gone shopping here. Liverpool midfielder Georgino Wijnaldum also joins PSG for the new season. This gives Paris a duo that is strong both in play and defensively in the center.
Complementing this are players like Idrissa Gueye, Ander Herrera, and Danilo Pereira – all of whom can also handle the ball and represent a strong backup.
The newly restructured defense: PSG is also extremely strong in defense. For instance, center-backs Marquinhos and Kimpembe are still there, both of whom should get upgrades. Additionally, there is new signing Sergio Ramos: One of the best center-backs in the world and traditionally also a top player in FIFA.
But that’s not all: PSG has also signed Achraf Hakimi from Inter Milan. The right-back is incredibly fast and consistently dangerous offensively. Also joining is Gianluigi Donnarumma, a newly crowned European champion in goal, who will compete with the already highly rated Keylor Navas for the number one spot.
In short: looking at the names, PSG is definitely not to be trifled with. While in real football one might say: “Well, let’s see if these stars really work together”, it is certain for FIFA 22 that the extremely high stats of some players should make PSG a top team.
Among other things, PSG scores with players who are strong in skills and impress with speed. This should fit well into the gameplay of FIFA. However, there will be some changes to the gameplay in FIFA 22 – you can see them here:
But no matter how the gameplay in FIFA 22 changes compared to FIFA 21: Footballers like Mbappé, Neymar, or Messi will continue to be among the best you can bring onto the pitch.
How strong PSG will ultimately be will be shown by the ratings when they are revealed in the weeks leading up to the FIFA release. We will keep you updated here at MeinMMO. Everything about the FIFA 22 release you can find here.
