Player Review

FINALLY after a really disappoint and quite bad TOTY, EA have release an SBC that in my opinion, it’s one of the best so far. Of course we are talking of the Great Rooney. I think it’s a fair price, yes, links can be a problem and I actually use him with 8 chem as I don’t have any England icons. At the beginning I was thinking in not doing him because he didn’t fit my squad and I have lots of untradeable players already. But I had to, because his stats looked AWESOME and probably EA will release a better ST in the future, but even if he was much better, he is not Rooney.

I enjoyed a lot playing with him, not only because he is good but I remember the old times, even if you weren’t a Manchester Utd fan, there was no way you dint enjoy watching him play. I have made lots of reviews but I have never said who I have in my team so I will quickly tell you the attack I use: 4-2-3-1 LAM: Ronaldo FB, RAM: Dybala Moments, CAM: Neymar, ST: Rooney

(Engine)

Pace 9/10

He wasn’t the fastest player I have used, some defenders like Varane reached him sometimes, but I didn’t expect him to be a flash. Don’t worry, it doesn’t mean that he is bad, but don't expect him to run as fast as Mbappe.

Shooting 9.7/10

One of the best shooters I have used, even without upgrading his shooting. Something that makes his shots almost unstoppable is his 99 shot power, finishing and long shots were really great, but specially long shots as his shot power helped A LOT. He has a really nice 4* wf and a personal con for me is that he is right footed as I’m more used to them, but that depends in you. He also has outside foot shoot which makes it feel almost like 5* wf. Some more details to add are his perfect work rates (H/M) for a CAM or ST.

Passing 9.5/10

His passes are REALLY good for a ST, and that’s why I think that his best position would be CAM, I even thought of changing Neymar to ST because I feel like I’m wasting his passing. And Ronaldo felt really good at the wing, so I will just keep it like that but anyways as I was saying his passes are truly great, worth of Xavi. No matter if they are long, short, crosses, or with his wf, and even Free Kicks. Being honest he is the player who I enjoyed the most playing with

Dribbling 9.6/10

Insane dribbling, the only “bad” thing probably could be his balance, and being kinda exaggerated BUT with engine that problem disappears, and it upgrades too his agility. Everything else is perfect, reactions really great, they help at defending too, ball control is master class, dribbling too. He doesn’t have 5* skills but I think 4 is much more than enough. And composure is maxed, I’m impressed of how good this is, considering he is cheaper than Sabitzer, but EA owed us a good SBC.

Defending 7/10

Its not necessary, specially if you use him as ST like me, but at CAM it will help a lot, and you could even use him as a CM. And talking now about his Heading Acc. it’s one of the best headers I have used, him and Boateng are a nightmare for my opponent at corners.

Phisicality 9/10

I can’t ask more, perfect shooting, passing, dribbling, and even Phisicality? Really, EA surprised me with this amazing SBC, really great for ST and CAM so he won’t get bodied, he will be the one that bodies. It probably helps a lot too if you use him at CM. Aggression is really nice too, your opponent will be in big trouble if he has the ball with his defense, he bodied 5 times a defender and 4 of them ended in goal.
