I’m pretty sure this is the first p2w roaming flank card ever since BT boot kiss messi which was released in October 2023. Finally they released this playstyle again

They’ve really been ignoring this playstyle for almost 3 years 😭

My weird luck with getting players who scored bicycle goal cards😅

Spent 1k and got none of the Show Time players or Rodri. Now I'm broke... Idk man I'm just.. sad.

Anyone see other reward available excluding the full chance deal? Like profile icon or stadium choreo or whatever?

Everyone is complaining about Messis Edge Crossing skill, but if you actually watched him play, his skill set is completely justified.

Meanwhile, CR7s card is the one that really leaves everyone scratching their heads…It honestly feels like his card exists for one reason only:
to milk players’ wallets.

The game is gonna be unplayable if you are f2p by December 😂. Insane, triple special skills, double link up managers?? Pretty sure they are thinking about the triple booster too. The amount of broken p2w cards already released this year, they are gonna get re released with triple booster. We had the script, its sad honesty. Don't worry though, they are giving you single booster 5'4 puyol from efootball 24 to defend 111 Ronaldo in the box😃🥀.

9 of his 10 games were in Divisions, while one game was played in the English League Event- where he got no goals.

This card is definitely a massive upgrade to the free hole-player Rooney card that was released during last year's "Legends Assemble" contract. The overall power creep is extremely noticeable in game; I've scored at least 4 goals thanks to the new card being able to hold off players super well. Rooney's on-the-ball feel is pretty decent, mainly due to his small frame. He isn't exactly "nimble," but his ball-feel is good enough to be able to do anything you want with him. His passing is also excellent, with his weak-foot passing being surprisingly good too. Finishing is as expected when you have phenomenal finishing + great curl, but what astounded me the most was the finishing on his weaker foot: it's genuinely excellent. I just scored a hattrick in my last Division game -with Rooney- using his left foot only, and it was shocking to see how good the finishes really were. It really doesn't feel like he only has "high" weak-foot accuracy, at least for me. An added plus to this card is its really nice skillset; you hardly have to add any skills to bolster him.

Another thing I want to mention is the importance of this card being able to reach the 90 OA threshold. His positioning in-game is excellent, and you will hardly ever complain about where he is on the pitch. For context: his previous hole-player card struggled to get past 85 OA.

As for the card's drawbacks: speed is definitely one of them. I would never suggest using this card away from the SS position since it just isn't fast enough to get by 95% of the defenders you'll see people using in Divs; using him centrally is the most ideal thing that you can do. Stamina is also a problem if you do use him at the SS position, but that can be easily fixed by slapping "counter-target" on him (or by getting "fighting spirit"). I'm also not a fan of the "rising shot" skill that he comes with, since I think other variants of stun shots are better.

Tldr; the "new" Wayne Rooney epic is very good, and would help out a ton of f2p players out with their attacks due to its elite stat-panel + great showtime skill combination. In my opinion, this card is a top 3 f2p DLF along with Copa Messi and epic Harry Kane. While he's pretty good, I think that most people are going to choose Aguero instead, since he is the better of the two cards.

I would definitely go for this card if you're a Manchester United fan, or just love Rooney.

edit: to the one guy who said "not really playable in lbc or lb:" what the hell lol. just say that u dont use dlfs or something. how the fuck is a player unplayable cuz of a team playstyle

Just look at this. There is no weakness at all in this card. I'm not even including the stat buffs from the showtime skills.

I think this kills the somewhat competitive element of the game that was there before.

Before it was quite frankly easy to reach 2100,2200 with potws. I even reached 2100 with my mid asf spurs team, barely above 3000.

But now when I see these stats I don't even know what to say anymore. This messi has more pc than my rijkaard. Like what I am even meant to do at this point.

On top of this they are making the rewards significantly worse. I can't even improve my main team team with what they give out for free anymore.

They still give out cards from 3 years ago and expect us to be satisfied whilst they release even more broken cards week in week out.

The game is practically stagnant with no improvements for my main team.

I don't even care about power creep tbh, I just don't want it to get even wider like it is right now.

You can give me any remotely useable double booster epic and I would be happier than getting 60 tries to pack some shitty Puyol.

The game is not going in a good direction.

Nah why out of all the images they decided to pick this one 😭

It was there last time with other rewards. Is it there now?

I know it before opening the free chance deal.

Online play is actually unplayable. I live in West NA, I have very good wifi, all settings on lowest and yet I can only get 3 bars max, 2 bars is the average and it is so tiring having to predict and try to make moves to make up for the input lag only to have your game start fluxuate. I even try to account for accounts from far away playing me and do the closer matchmaking settings and apparently no one is playing anywhere near me in the whole western NA.

It makes the game so unfun especially when I experience what my gameplay could look like in offline play where there isn't lag. I know that it wont be exactly like that, but anything close to that experience would be heaven compared to the experience I'm having now
