So much better then the fut birthday
By Harrywhite30, 15-08-2018

I unlocked fit bday Rooney as found him very disappointing he was slow, turned like a bus. Tried him in st, cam cm wasn't good enough. Saw this card only 80k now why not. Wow just wow this card is insane.

Background I have played over 2500 game of Fifa 18 won div 1 multiple times consistent gold 1 fut champs player. I have prime gulliet and eoae iniesta.


Pace: rapid being on 5,9 he's really quick now and with very good dribbling can burst away from alot of players.


Shooting: incredible his shot power is crazy his long shots don't miss don't bother with finesse just bang it, low drivens inside area DDG no chance with his 99 composure scores 9 out of 10 times.


Passing: exceptional as good as iniesta and Tory modric who I consider the 2 best passing mids in Fifa 18. Short pass or long pass driven perfect he even has the playmaker trait as well.


Dribbling: Finally the best part of this card I used engine on him to get to 90 agility feels so smooth on the turn 10 times better then his fur Birthday he can now actually do the in and out type dribbling and using the Lt and RT is very responsive.


Defending: very good he bullies so many players reminds me of Fifa 17 kante not tall but uses his incredible physical to barge the player then just grabs the ball. Is an excellent cm but due to his height and poor jumping I wouldn't play him at cdm tried him but he gets out jumped everytime.


Physical: 2 sides to this strength and aggressive are great muscles most players off the ball but his lack of height and jumping is an issue and his stamina can be depending on how you use him. Medium medium work rates keep going for whole game but if you tell him to get in behind will need to be sub if game goes to extra time.


Overal bargain for 80k one of the best midfielders on the game. Personally he could do a job anywhere on the pitch but I feel his lack of height means he is less suited as a striker he lacks the 4 star skills to be a truly amazing Cam but if your not a skiller he's great in that positio. For me personally RCM best position I play futties bakoyo at cdm and prime gulliet LCM and he's perfect. Speed to catch up to anyone great defending and strength to battle and his long shots are out of this world on his right foot.

Pace


Shooting particularly long shots and composure means he can shoot under pressure


Passing


Strength and aggressive combined with decent interceptios and stand tackle makes him a excellent ball winning cm


10 times better then his fur Birthday


Less then 100k for this card bargain

Height gets beaten in the air for everything


Stamina can get tired late into a game with only 86

Prime Icon Rooney

After EA started releasing these special classic cards I decided to play the game again, lets face it, the game is pretty much dead by now. But these new cards make the game worth playing again, if only for a little while. I sold most of my icon cards and bought these classic hero cards. This Rooney card is what his prime icon card will look like in a couple of years. He's a complete BEAST in almost every aspect of the game...

Going down memory lane

This card of wayne rooney is absolutely mental! i've done his sbc card in 24 hours so i was early enough to test him for some games in Fut champs. He is absolutely amazing! he is one of the most complete strikers (for me) this FIFA. He will finish 90% of your chances inside the box, he's strong enough to keep the faster paced full backs off of him and his passing is also very good!

Cheapest Icon On The Market

Where do i begin, being a United fan and England fan i was over the moon to see Rooney get his fut birthday card however i never got the chance to do the SBC and when this card came onto the market I knew I had to have him in my squad. Originally buying him as CM I decided to try him there and in the first game i thought wow why have I wasted my coins, he felt clunky and lethargic on the ball and his overall play was slopp...
