FIFA 18: 5 players you won't believe have better attribute ratings than Lionel Messi

#1 Andrea Pirlo - 89(PAS)

Pirlo's FUT 18 card

Is it 2006 again? You might want to pinch yourself right about now because as per FIFA 18 ratings, Andrea Pirlo is actually the highest rated player in the passing category. The veteran's incredible vision and ability to pick out the right pass is second to none and he manages to take the top spot from the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar.

At 38 years of age, this Italian has proven that he's like a fine wine and getting better as he grows older. Now plying his trade in the USA, Pirlo's 89 passing rating makes him the game's elite in the category even if his 79 overall rating tells a different story. Leo Messi, you still have a long way to go kid.
