Player Review

92 - Golazo Hero
4.5
The Czech GEM
By Raeksnake, 29-04-2024

He belongs in a tier of players way too underrated, so so so underrated due to his price, I'm playing with hunter in a 4231 (RCAM) I've tried a lot of CAM/Winger but for me Rosicky is a perfect mix that give me (only elite division and champions) :



  • Perfect pace, even if he don't have any quick step/rapid you can't outpace your opponent when you have the advantage (not a pace abuser through).


  • The best playstyles (for me) in term of passing, mini hot take : pinged pass is good but not as important as tiki taka (helpful for 1 touch pass AND regular X/A simple pass even when you did touch the ball first) and incisive pass (Gold one is even better) allow you the play forward when you see a player making a run behind the defense, and even without pinged pass you can do it with success more than a 1 touch pass/through ball when you don't have Tiki Taka/Incisive Pass.


  • Whipped cross and flair (a little bit underrated also) are also good assets : for crossing so you're adding more danger to his set of passing and flair make you break the "dull phase" of your passes, I explain, when you construct your attacking phase (mainly not counter attack) your opponent if he's good will try to understand your "pattern/schem" of your passing and intercept them, flair allow you to find much easily a player when you do a "fancy pass" (and shots but IMO not that useful/relevant), it could seem like a joke of a playstyle, but trust me, because it's a little bit off timing pass animation, that kind of pass you cannot anticipate, sometimes with my Ferran Torres (my striker) who doesn't have any passing playstyles (except whipped cross) I prefer to make a fancy pass than a normal pass.

  • Shooting is really good, with hunter he has really good attributes in this area, trivela/power shot/chip shot and the most important IMO finesse, with 5 stars WF. basically you have a perfect player to finish, depending of your position and the position of the GK, you have access to all playstyles to finish, a joy to have such confort for shooting.


  • Dribbling + Lean body type makes the player "silky", you can stop then dribble, change direction with ease, he is smoother than my Golazo Kaka who is more aggressive dribbling based, Rosicky is perfect to past between two defenders with his agility/dribbling/body type. 4 stars skills is enough. Technical + make him prime Messi (search effort dribbling on Youtube/TikTok).


  • Stamina is good but not game changing, 89 is good but without relentless if you reach extra times a subsitute could be needed (mostly because for me he plays on the side when you need stamina/pace).


  • You have a superb player for less than 100K ! with full chemistry in any circumstances, even adding bonus for the most played league.


Not that much to be honest, the fact that he doesn't have quick step/rapid but to be honest that would change the player, with him I'm learning to actually out pace/skill defenders.

He could missing the 5 stars skills and relentless.

Lost art of a true CAM

I loved watching Rosicky at Arsenal in the late 2000s so when he came out of my Hero pack I was fairly indifferent. Not a top end player like we all hoped for but at least he looked usable and was a player I personally liked IRL. I used him as a super sub for a few games and he performed very well, so I tried him as a CM in a 442 and he was ok, but after some experimenting with tactics and players I landed on the 4411(2) wi...
