Rooney 92 Review

by Reece Alderman
 

When I first started playing with TOTS Rooney, his default position was CF, and straight away I started to notice a few things that have happened to me before when I have played with a CF. One of those points being the immediate lack of energy after the first half, although he still showed great potential on and off the ball, Rooney simply felt like his standard card, and presented no sign of improvement as he should from an 87 to a 92 rated card. I then tried using him as a CAM, but still the same problems were showing themselves, still great long shots, and it did feel like he was passing like he had 90 passing, his energy was still a major issue, as after the first half he became very lazy and didn’t seem to want to create as many chances as the first half, or put any away himself.

Once I played Rooney as a ST, everything changed

After a few games of this I got very annoyed very quickly and began to think that the most expensive player of first TOTS so far was just a copy and paste job by EA, and was nowhere worth the 860K I paid for him, until I tried him as a striker.

Oh my. Once I played Rooney as a ST, everything changed, he was no longer tiring no the ball, nearly every effort from at least 20-25 yards either bulged the back of the net, hit the woodwork, or took ninja like saves from top flight goalkeepers. There was nothing that I could see that he was doing wrong, every time I crossed the ball in, Rooney was there to head it into the net, or struck sickening volleys that again, 9 times out of 10 would result in a goal.

Making runs for TOTS Rooney was an easy job, grounded through balls would reach him every time, lofted through balls would easily fall at his feet, the first touch also being a key factor is his attacking abilities, as well as having the 87 dribbling to be able to beat most defenders, if I wasn’t ploughing my way through them, taking full advantage of his 90 strength. Not only did Rooney dominate the opponents goal throughout the game, but when he got the ball, every chance I got I was trying shooting from distance with him, abusing the 94 long shot stat, and as before, 9 times out of 10 he was putting them away from distances of up to 35 yards at times, on both feet! So even though he has a 4 star weak foot, it felt more like 5 stars.

He is good enough to slow play down and look for other options

One of my favourite things about TOTS Rooney was his pace, which I felt his original card lacked in some way, he wasn’t too fast but not too slow which for me is a perfect balance as a dominant striker in this game. If given the option, you can have that sudden burst of pace to get ahead of defenders, but if needed, he is good enough to slow play down and look for other options, like dribbling round opponents using skill moves, be careful though, only 3 star skills.

There is only really 3 very minor things about TOTS Rooney that are disadvantages, the first being, only very rarely, at times, only when you are counter-attacking, he can be out of position, not even by a great deal but it seemed tough trying to use Rooney as a link player to execute a successful counter-attack. The second, being the lack of energy in the CF and CAM position, but once used as a striker, you won’t ever feel the need to use him in any other position. Lastly being his price, it is still very expensive but to be completely honest, he was worth every penny I paid for him, and I’m sure that I will be using him in many squad builders to come.

      1. Arent these stats the same as the ut stats! Where do u get stats for informs that are not ultimate team? Also, are these stats the same across all consoles?
        BTW what is the use of h2h stats? Isnt the ut stats more important? This is a card for ut, right?

        1. We have published the note “Stats are H2H stats that may differ from Ultimate Team stats” because there is a regular card in this post. Obviously, the IF card stats are from UT because they don’t exist in other game modes.
          These stats are not always the same for all consoles. They are the same for PS/PC and XBox but they may be different for other platforms.

          1. ‘There is a regular card in this post’. What?!?!? Which regular card are u referring to? Isn’t the whole article about TOTS Rooney?
            Thx. for clearing my other doubts : D
