In the ongoing saga of FIFA ratings between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi has once again emerged victorious. EA FC 24 has released the latest Mixed League Team of the Season (TOTS), and it’s Messi who claims the top spot, outshining his archrival Ronaldo.
Mixed League Teams of the Season are a weekly highlight alongside the main squads. Last week, fans eagerly awaited Cristiano Ronaldo’s TOTS card, and this week, the spotlight is on Lionel Messi.
The Argentinian legend’s 97 Overall (OVR) rating makes him the standout player in EA FC 24’s Mixed League TOTS. This rating matches the likes of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé, but most importantly, it edges out Cristiano Ronaldo’s 96 OVR card.
Messi’s Dominance
Messi’s 97 OVR places him head and shoulders above the competition in the Mixed League TOTS. No other player in this team reaches the coveted 95 OVR mark.
Interestingly, the third team featuring Messi lacks a 94 OVR player, but compensates with several impressive 93-rated cards. Notable among these are Lukas Podolski and Sergio Busquets, presented as TOTS Moments.

Lukas Podolski’s inclusion is a nod to soccer nostalgia, evoking fond memories for die-hard fans. Despite nearing his 39th birthday and currently playing in the Polish league, Podolski’s TOTS Moments card offers a powerful rendition of the veteran’s skills.
The third TOTS Moments player, Jamie Vardy, is set to return to the Premier League with Leicester City next season following their promotion from the Championship.
