FIFA 22 Player Review

4.5

Wayne "Wazza" Rooney

ByLlynex15-04-2022

I decided to do the Icon Moments Upgrade SBC and ended up packing this Rooney .As a Liverpool fan, I was skeptical at first, but I would say after the 25 matches that I've used him with so far he's been a W. I play him in a 4-1-2-1-2(2) as a left striker up top with TOTY Honorable Mention Chiesa (89). So far I have played him in Div 1 Rivals games, and he surprised me. He has 32 goals and 7 assists in 25 matches, with a few of those matches being hattricks and one of them being a 5 goal game.

Pace: Even with an engine he is still actually pretty fast. Definitely not the fastest player that I have used all FIFA, but while having a stocky body type, he was still very explosive and amazing at making get in behind runs.
Shooting: He has to have the best shooting that I have ever seen. With 95 finishing and 96 shot power, and his own unique shooting animations, almost any clear angle that you can take, he will score. Along with his Chip Shot, Outside Foot Shot, and Long Shot traits, he seems to score with any quality situation he's put in.
Passing: His short passing is of course pretty good, especially with the boost from the engine, but the best part of his passing is his long/lobbed through ball passes.
Physicality: Although I expected more from his strength and aggression, he is still has a good enough physical presence to body any defender off the ball.

Dribbling: His dribbling overall is pretty good, but the only reason that I am putting it as a con is because of his stocky build, along with his lack of agility and 3* skills. If you want to really utilize him to the fullest, you have to use him as a pure number 9. Also in bad gameplay, he often turns like a brick, but that is not always the case.

Wayne Rooney

THAT BYCLE KICK...

So... last week I reviewed moments Bergkamp and I end up saying I was going for Hugo Sanchez o something like that. Well, by a stroke of weird luck I managed to get Henry on a pp freeing me a huge amount of coins, and now here we are. Let's begin, with a massive increase in some dribbling stats, and being a legend of my favorite club Wayne Rooney instantly caught my eye as he was inside my current budget so it was a no-braine...
