FIRST META ROONEY CARD?

By angadmalik, 20-02-2024

I played Rooney as my RS in the 4-4-2 in Elite Rivals for about 10 games now. Also played him as my central CAM in the 4-2-3-1 behind Eusebio. He performed well in both roles but I rather use him as a ST. His pace boost is very noticeable and I mean he's rapid! You don't even meed to boost his pace further as ones he's level or ahead of the CB, he's gone! He can body all CB's (Believe me as VVD was pushed off a few times quite easily, which is an anomaly). He played best on a Finisher chemistry as he becomes a controlled explosive sprint type which is extremely useful around the box to burst past someone. Engine works fine too though.

I'm so glad he's at 4*4* now. That 3* was the main reason I delayed picking up a Rooney card. Hopefully he graduates to a 5* in one of the next upcoming promos (fingers crossed).

His work rates didn't bother me too much as you just have to set some instructions on the card to fix that. (he's very obedient haha)

Shooting was great although that 5* WF is gonna become a necessity for ST's in this game if you want to reach those high WL finishes. PS: I wish they had left the Powershot PS+ instead of the recently nerfed Trivela PS+, but Trivela has its own benefits too.

Passing was good too, no complaints.

His aggression is top too, he just gets stuck in! ANGRY ROONEY OP!!!

Overall I loved this card as it finally feels like a solid Rooney card that can be used in the top Divisions as the boosts are all very noticeable. I need a 5* WF on this card so bad tho...

HE HAS A SECRET TECHNICAL DRIBBLE PS+ ON HIM (YoU dIdN't HeAr It FrOm Me)

GREAT PACE

OP SHOOTING (FEELS BETTER THAN STATS)

GOOD PASSING

GREAT PHYSICAL

RUNS ALL GAME TIRELESSLY

4 STAR SKILLS......IT'S ABOUT TIME HE GOT A BOOST

DRIBBLING IS MUCH IMPROVED OVER THE BASE CARD (ITS NOTICEABLE IN GAME)

HE FEELS MUCH BETTER WITH THE ENGINE OR FINISHER CHEMISTRY STYLE ON THE BALL, SO MUCH SO THAT HIS DRIBBLING FEELS PRETTY NICE WITH IT.
