Lionel Messi
38-Year-Old
Inter Miami CF
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Messi only appeared in 19 league matches for Inter Miami in 2024. That didn't stop him from scoring 20 goals and assisting 11. While some disagreed with the selection, Messi won the Most Valuable Player award. The injury bug is the only thing that could hold Messi back in 2025. While his work rate is next to nothing, he still makes unbelievable plays that turn back the clock when on the ball. A healthy Messi could score 30-plus goals in MLS play, but it's tough to project the Argentinian to play the full schedule.
Goal-scoring run continues
Messi scored one goal and assisted once from five shots and four chances created in Tuesday's 3-1 victory against Seattle Sounders FC.
ANALYSIS
Messi assisted the opening goal of the match before slotting home a goal of his own later in the first half as Miami outlasted Seattle in a 3 - 1 victory. Across his last 11 appearances (10 starts) the aging virtuoso has scored in each appearance but two and amassed 15 total goals while supplying seven assists. Overall, Messi has netted 20 goals and nine assists across his 21 appearances (19 starts) in 2025. Sitting on 29 goal contributions, Messi looks poised to surpass his output from his first full season in MLS when he bagged 21 goals and 11 assists over 22 appearances (18 starts) for Miami in 2024.
