Will you use him in your final team?

I know there are lots of threads already about him and majority were positive reviews.. but is he good to be in your ultimate 11?

I might just grab rvp and schweini as free 88’s instead of spending 40k to get that rooney card and use him in sbc

    Wondering this as well. Regardless, im doing him. 92 rated for 35k, will save about 55k on an sbc

    Rooney is 90 rated...but still a 90 rated for 35 k is decent

    Oh Mb, cheapest 90 rated is 65k so still saving some coins.

    But you’ll use all your st. Patty cards.. what if, just what if, EA asks for patty cards in future sbc’s like kaka?

    If you just want sbc fodder, then get rvp and schweini and you’ll still have 2 more st. Patty cards

    He's not even a right now card. That's my big issue.

    I think most players' objective for their "final team" would be to get as many icons as possible.

    Even though I've only used Rooney for 6 games I honestly think it's a good card. He's definitely staying in my EPL fun squad, but he has no chance of getting into my main squad. At ST he has no chance of replacing ADP and Crispo. At CAM I've got Suarez. At CM I've got Rui Costa and Matthaus, and at CDM I have Maldini. Haha Rooney won't even make the bench, where I've got Lozano, Alessandrini and IF Allan.

    Played him for last 10-15 games of WL, think he has around 9 goals and 3 assists. Doesn’t have blistering pace but is very strong and fights back a bit in the shoulder charge which I think is his aggression: his stand out ability I would say is brutal shot power. Created quite a few rebound goals for other players where the keeper can only parry it.

    Long range shooting is very good too. I like him and sold OTW Lukaku who was my precious striker, but you might find you need a bit of pace next to him or on the wings. I like a strong ST and can’t be doing with these tiny wingers as strikers.

    If he costs 40k that means you have 25k value left in him. We then need to subtract the value of RVP who can be done for free.
    As you can see RVP will be better for SBC’s.
    I did Rooney myself and he is pretty good. In my B team currently but thinking of moving him to a cm in my a team.

    I suppose it depends on your budget, but he is definitely up there with the best of them. I've to give kudos to EA for this one. How much more enjoyable is it to work towards an elite player through challenges, rather than busting your balls all weekend for random packs?

    He won't be in my final team but he's not bad, 35k for a 90 rated player that I can use for a bit before putting in another sbc is decent

    B)
  • Rooney and yaya are not end game cards but they both have value. Rooney is higher rated so its a no brainer to get him for icon SBC's now or future ones.

    Game-play wise Rooney is not an impact player and neither is Yaya. They do the Job but that's about it. Basically what I mean is that from the CAM/ST spot Rooney's goal contribution is hovering about 1 per match, which many players in Fifa do. His dribbling and medium attacking work-rate kinda hamper him a bit and he gets his shot blocked quite a bit, which i lend to his body type and lack of high agility when shooting, this even when trying him with different Chem. styles.

    Yaya is basically an average CM and even though he has good strength and passing other players have that and with TOTS coming up you will find players that are diamonds in the rough.

    Essentially both are worth it in terms of value but dont offer anything extraordinary in Futchamps/Div 1.

    How many of the base icon SBC did you have to complete? These kind of posts make it really hard to resist doing another one

    I only did one @Wooly1203.. i was actually very open to the fact that i have limited coins because i just recently finished prime ronaldinho.. but i love taking risks so instead of getting nif neymar with my spare coins, i finished the base icon sbc with schweini to cut costs..
