Judged on this season alone, Messi graded 100 — a standout campaign that ranks top 3% of the 49 wingers in the Major League Soccer, on 35 goals and 23 assists in 34 appearances (1.753 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 62 → 100). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 46th of 49 of the 49 wingers in the Major League Soccer. At 39 Messi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Messi missed 3 games through injury (muscular problems, rest) out of roughly 40 this season. The 34 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Messi is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
