10 - Lionel Messi - v3

[Flavia]

Isn't Rakitic a dead ball specialist? He hasn't taken a single freekick at goal all season.

Actually, he scored one. In the cdr, against huesca: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdKTtWfBokU

He should definitely take more fk's.

Against Huesca he scores from direct free kick..

Indeed I just saw that looking through youtube. But who's gonna tell Xavi he sucks at taking them.. Someone needs to mustard up the courage.

Suarez is the best freekick taker at barca.

 

[Siberia]

Messi, neymar, suarez, rakitic are all good freekick takers

Suarez is the best freekick taker at barca.

based on what?

He scored quite a few at Liverpool. He doesn't get to take them here though.

that is nice, but how can someone say he is the best fk taker at barca ?? he didn't take on iirc

 

[Kerrybai]

Suarez confidence is shot so I wouldn't let him near one. Neymar and Rakitic should get a few though. It's hard to argue with letting Messi take them though, as far as I know his conversion rate with them is half decent and he scores enough every season to justify giving him the majority. Xavi should hand his over to Neymar and Rakitic.

If Juninho didnt take a freekick at a new club doesnt mean that he is the best at it. Balo is the best penaldo taker at liverpool for the same reason.
Rakitic, Neymar and Suarez all have more right than Xavi to take freekicks from the left, corners as well.
Its foolish to base it on hierarchy in the squad imo.

Funny thing is you could argue about Balo because Lambert is also one of the best penalty takers out there.
Considering Barca's free kicks I would like Neymar and Rakitic to take more of them. Rakitic would also be my first choice to take pens.

Rakitic has amazing fk accuracy and power, probably the best in the squad.

 

[Sumlit]

Nice video highlight of Messi's first touch, with a cool chillstep mix.

2nd best. The best is the ginger wall. 100% conversion rate for Barca
