2025 Fantasy Outlook
Messi only appeared in 19 league matches for Inter Miami in 2024. That didn't stop him from scoring 20 goals and assisting 11. While some disagreed with the selection, Messi won the Most Valuable Player award. The injury bug is the only thing that could hold Messi back in 2025. While his work rate is next to nothing, he still makes unbelievable plays that turn back the clock when on the ball. A healthy Messi could score 30-plus goals in MLS play, but it's tough to project the Argentinian to play the full schedule.
Takes six shots in draw
Messi had six shots (four on target), created two chances and sent in five inaccurate crosses during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Messi couldn't extend his scoring streak but it wasn't for lack of trying as he paced all players in shots attempted as usual but this time he couldn't beat a very inspired goalkeeper. The rare scoreless game now leaves Messi with an even 24 goals and 24 league appearances and his status as a clear-cut favorite for a second consecutive MLS MVP remains unaltered.
