5 players with better passing than Lionel Messi on FIFA 17

#5 Francesco Totti – 90 passing rating

Francesco Totti has rendered yeoman service to AS Roma over the past two decades

Francesco Totti is now 40 years old and he remains as influential a figure at Roma as he was a decade ago. The Italian’s pace and movement may have waned but his footballing brain and passing ability remain sharp as ever; attributes which have seen him drop deeper into an attacking midfielder’s role from the striking duties of his younger days.

One of football’s one-club men, a type of footballer who is becoming increasingly rare in these days of big money transfers, Totti has managed to hold his own at Roma on the basis of skill and leadership and continues to have influential performances for his beloved club.

It would be impossible for a player to play into his 40s at a club with the stature of Roma if he did not have the required ability. Totti’s passing and other attributes remain as good or better than what they were in his younger days with his passing attribute seeing serious development with age.

He is now one of the best passers in the game, with EA giving him a rating of 90 when it comes to his passing, making him better than Lionel Messi who is a spring chicken at the age of 29.
