Player Review

86 - Hero

4.5

Lost art of a true CAM

By Rockstarx1, 10-11-2023

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) with him as the CAM. Just put him on free roam and everything else on default and man... what a card. He is a great old school CAM. Get the ball to him, RB/R1 your way through midfielders and drop perfect passes to your other attacking players. Hes not going to blow the doors off defenders (especially top end ones like Militato etc, but hes the player you want on the ball driving at CBs while other players make there runs. Great second runs in the box as well.

Use him like an oldschool CAM (like David Silva, Juan Mata etc) and let him get on the ball and be the focal point of your attack and he works very well.

Dribbling is very good, especially with RB.
Trivela makes up for the 3*WF, shooting/finishing is very good.
Great passing/through balls
Positioning is great, always manages to be open even with the high press/71 depth people run.

3 * WF can be annoying in particular cases, but Trivela makes it useable.
Bit on the weak side, will get bodied off the ball by big CBs.
Pace is OK but you aren't going to run by fullbacks or quicker CBs.

The Czech GEM

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) :
