Lionel Messi

MLS
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.
Scores upper 90 screamer in loss
Messi took five shots (two on goal), sent in one cross, created zero chances, suffered three fouls, and scored in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Nashville SC.
ANALYSIS
Messi was kept at bay by the Nashville defense for most of the match until he was able to wriggle free to unleash an upper 90 screamer in the 90th minute. He has scored six goals and added two assists across his last three games against Nashville, and he's sure to be a key factor in Saturday's series-deciding home game against Nashville.
