But if you manage to integrate Rooney into your team, you should have a quite dangerous offensive player on your hands.
Speaking of strong cards: In the Bundesliga, there are some players whose ratings should improve in the future.
In FIFA 21, Wayne Rooney received a quite strong End-of-an-Era card. It features consistently high ratings – but with a small drawback.
What kind of card is this? The new card is an “End of an Era” item celebrating the recently concluded career of Wayne Rooney. The Englishman retired as an active player in January 2021 and is now the head coach of the EFL Championship team Derby County.
The card reflects Rooney in his absolute prime. So it’s no surprise that it has some extremely high ratings.
How to get Rooney: To obtain the card, you need to solve a total of 3 partial SBCs.
- You must submit a team that features 1 Premier League player and has an overall rating of 84 (80 team chemistry)
- A team with 1 Manchester United player and 1 TOTW player (84 overall rating, 75 team chemistry)
- And a team with 1 England player, as well as 86 overall rating and 65 team chemistry.
The first community solutions from futbin cost around 370,000 coins if you approach the tasks without any SBC fodder and start completely from scratch. While this isn’t cheap in a traditional sense, given Rooney’s ratings, it seems like a fair price. There have been SBCs that were significantly worse.
Where to place the super strong Rooney?
This is what the card excels at: Basically, the EOAE Rooney card has everything you need. The shot value is absolutely brutal, and Rooney is also strong in dribbling and physical attributes. The pace is decent at 87, especially when boosted into the 90s with a Chemistry Style. The passing stats are good as well, and the card can even defend (at least a bit).
On top of that, there are 4 stars for the weak foot and skill moves. You won’t be able to pull off the most insane tricks with Rooney, but for simple skill moves to outplay your opponents, it’s sufficient. And in doubt: just take a shot.
This is the problem: Apart from having to gather the teams for the SBC, the card actually has only one weakness: Rooney’s club. With Derby County, Rooney is not in the Premier League but in the second tier.
This makes it a bit more difficult to fit the Englishman into your team. You need to surround him with English players or chemistry providers like icons. The legends can link to any player in your team. Unfortunately, they aren’t really cheap either.
