Player Review
89 - Icon
So i've played Rush for about 60 games as a Striker in the 4-2-2-2 and 4-2-3-1.
He picked himself up 48 goals and 22 assists, which is pretty solid.
Nevertheless, i wouldn't recommend buying this card.
Most of the time, I used Engine on him because I didn't feel like his shooting needed any boost. I have tried different chem styles though (Marksman, Sniper, Hawk, Deadeye).
Pace 5/10
He is very slow. Those 83 Pace (88 with chem style) felt like 70, he couldn't really outpace any defender.
Shooting 9.5/10
His shots were deadly. Inside and outside the box, finesse or low driven, whatever you want. He will score you goals.
I have to admit that his high composure makes him clinical as well. He barely chokes.
His weak foot felt alright, i didn't notice any issues with it.
Passing 3/10
Very disappointing. When I saw his bad passing stats, I did not expect him to be that bad at passing. His short passing isn't too bad, but you just can't cross or play through balls with him.
Dribbling 6.5/10
As mentioned before, his agility and balance are bad. He sometimes feels clunky and turns slowly.
His ball control felt alright, but didn't really help at all. The 3* skill moves really limit his dribbling abilities, too.
Defending -/-
Physicality 6/10
He is quiet tall. That's why I expected him to be strong and win headers. However, I was quiet disappointed with that as well.
His stamina was good enough for a striker. I wouldn't use him anywhere else though (due to his passing as well)
All in all, I sold him after a week. It was fun using him, don't get me wrong. He looks very funny ingame and I really believe that he can be fun to play with. But he isn't useable in any competitive game.
- great shooting
- finesse shots (trait)
- icon -> links to everyone, good link into Bale
- a bit too slow
- does not feel too agile or strong. Both stats aren't the best
- pretty expensive
- average passing
