FIFA 17 Ultimate Team: Predicting The Team Of The Year

3. RW: Lionel Messi

It wouldn't be the Team of the Year without Lionel Messi. He may not be the best player in the world anymore, but he might be the best of all time. Disappointment at the Copa America was the only real blemish on Messi's 2016, which saw him play a vital role in Barcelona's La Liga title win.

With 41 goals in 49 appearances for Barcelona in 2016, there's no denying just how consistent the Argentinian really is.

This will be the sixth time on Ultimate Team that Messi will feature in the Team of the Year, and as usual only the extremely lucky and the extremely rich will be able to use him. High 90's in every stat except defending and physical, if you manage to come into contact with him, you'll be practically unstoppable.

Pace to burn and the ability to finish every chance, you'll be better off converting Messi to a RF and playing him as a striker. That's if you can manage to drum up the 5,000,000 coins you'll require to play with him.
