For the first time ever on FIFA Ultimate Team, which began way back on FIFA 09, the Argentina international has been classified as a CAM.

According to Futhead, the next best CAM is Dele Alli, whose special card for winning the PFA Young Player of the Year is 91 rated. Mesut Ozil also has a 91-rated inform.
