FIFA Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over Lionel Messi's New Ultimate Team Card

Lionel Messi has received a new FIFA 20 Ultimate Team card and quite frankly, you'll never be able to afford it.

The Barcelona forward has received a 96 rated November Player of the Month card that can be obtained via a Squad Building Challenge.

But the requirements to get your hands on this card are outright insane.

But the requirements don't end there and they only get trickier.

You'll also need a squad with an overall 88 rating as well as an astonishing three 89 rated squads.

Hope you have some Icons stashed away that you don't want to use.

Twitter reacted to the absurd conditions that need to be met in typical fashion.

His stats do look ridiculous for anyone who gets to use him.

It's safe to say the 32-year-old is going to break the game once he starts getting unlocked.

Messi's SBC is set to stick around for the next three weeks so if anyone wants to grind for him over the Christmas period, that option is open for you.

But it'd probably be wiser to wait for the Team of the Year to be released next month if you care about your coin balance.

Messi was named in the voting shortlist this afternoon and he is a shoe-in to get into the team again.

From today (12 December) until December 20, players are able to cast their votes online through the official FIFA website.

And after that period of voting, the official Team of the Year will be released in January and special TOTY player items will follow in packs as a result.

What do you make of Messi's new FIFA card and do you think it's too hard to achieve?
