How to complete POTM Messi SBC in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team

March 2022 · 3 minute read

EA Sports added a 96-rated Player of the Month (POTM) version of Lionel Messi from Sevilla to FIFA 21 today. This item is available through the squad-building challenge (SBC) menu in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.

Messi already has three special versions, including a Player of the Year card. He received this POTM LaLiga version today for his performance during February. This SBC will expire on April 5.

EA has somewhat upgraded all of Messi’s skills, including Passing (+5), Physical (+5), Shooting (+4), Passing (+4), and Defending (+3) when you compare this new card to his already incredible 93-rated gold version.

To maximize POTM Messi’s stats, you can either apply the hawk chemistry style or go with the basic option. He’ll play like a 98-rated center attacking midfielder or center forward with both.

The only downside to this card is that he only has 78 stamina, which means that you’ll probably have to sub him out in the second half. But this card is almost as perfect as his Team of the Year (TOTY) version and it costs two million FUT coins less.

This SBC costs around 2,178,800 FUT coins on Xbox One, 1,804,950 on PS4, and 2,401,300 on PC. POTM Messi is one of the best SBCs EA has released in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team because he’s fairly priced—you probably won’t get a card as good as this one for less.

If you want to complete POTM Messi SBC, you’ll have to turn in six squads: Argentina, Tactical Emulation, LaLiga, Top Form, 88-rated Squad, and 89-rated Squad. The last one is the most expensive, and to complete it, you’ll have to build an 89-rated squad with just 30 chemistry minimum.

Fodder is through the roof right now because of the Icon SBCs, so we advise you to wait a couple of weeks to buy the players if you don’t have them stored in your club already.
