FIFA Rivals adds Lionel Messi NFTs with a new player fragment system. Learn how to collect, trade, and build mythical players in this mobile soccer game.
Mythical Games’ mobile soccer title FIFA Rivals has just introduced Lionel Messi as a mythical player NFT, bringing a fresh twist to the gameplay. For the first time, players can collect fragments and combine them to create complete players, starting with one of the biggest names in football. Currently, Messi’s NFTs are listed on the Mythical Market with prices starting at 100,000 MYTH tokens, which is roughly $11,204.

The new feature revolves around player fragments. In FIFA Rivals, each mythical player is made up of five different fragments. You need to collect all five unique pieces to form a full player NFT. Fragments are earned by playing the game, but completing a player requires gathering or trading the specific fragments you’re missing.
This system encourages more active engagement, as players must strategically collect or trade fragments to build their roster. It also introduces a marketplace dynamic to the game, giving players a new way to interact with and invest in their favorite football stars.

Fragment trading happens exclusively on the Mythical Market, a web-based platform that supports NFTs from all Mythical Games titles, including NFL Rivals and Blankos. This marketplace is the hub where users can buy, sell, and swap fragments and complete player NFTs.
Apart from Messi, other notable player NFTs available include Achraf Hakimi, with prices starting around $650, Federico Valverde from $784, and Rodri beginning at $5,601. These prices reflect the rarity and demand of each player in the current market.
