I don't know if you are just defining a false 9 as Messi but the stats required for a false 9 are just right as they are to be honest. Maybe concentration and decisions could be needed or something else but not dribbling. Take Benzema for example, he acts as a false 9 for Real Madrid and does it very well and his strong point isn't exactly his dribbling. A False 9 is someone with a great sense of awareness and someone who is tactically intelligent, constantly dragging defenders around the pitch in order to make space for the IFs to move into and take advantage of. For me, Benzema is a prime example of a false 9 doing his job, more so than Messi because Messi doesn't drop deep to help his teammates, he drops deep so that he can find enough space for him to dribble into and shoot from. Benzema however is constantly dragging defenders to create space for Bale and Ronaldo to move into and receive through balls.
Well, I was looking at work the space youtube video about false 9, and the ingame description also states he drops deep to pull defenders, or driblle or pick out a pass....at that video, dribbling is one of the necessary attributes.

I have a player that is best-suited to the Complete Forward role, but I often use him as a False-9 to accommodate an Advanced Forward alongside him. My specific instructions to him are to:
- Play Shorter Passes
- Move Into Channels
He tends to drop a bit deeper, operating with his back to goal to play the ball out wide or into the channels for his strike partner or an on-running Winger or Advanced Playmaker. But he's also a decent long-range shooter and will try his luck from anywhere around the D and the edge of the area without any specific instruction from me to do so. He can still make those runs into the channels and often scores headers from wingers' crosses.
This one-short, one-long strike partnership makes for some good football and also plays well on the counter-attack. I always play my left-footed Advanced Forward on the left of the two to maximise his chances of hitting the target when through on goal - I'm certain that SI have incorporated "range of motion" into how effective left-footers and right-footers are according to their position relative to the goalposts.

Why don't you just watch the full match and test it out yourself instead of always posting about things "in theory".
In theory is very different to what actually functions and works successfully in the FM game engine.
