On January 15, English star footballer Wayne Rooney announced that he was officially retiring from the game, and moving on towards a full-time career in coaching. Rooney was arguably the face of English football during the mid to late 2000’s, during his time with Manchester United, and EA Sports is remembering the midfielder with a new End of an Era Squad Building Challenge. FIFA players can get their hands on the new Rooney player item, but be prepared to pay a significant price.

Solutions
For a 93 OVR card, the requirements for this SBC are actually pretty good. Unfortunately, the one issue with this player item is that Rooney’s listed team is Derby County, a team that’s in the EFL Championship league. The fact that there’s no Premier League link here with this item hurts the value quite a bit, but nevertheless, this card looks quite good to say the least. However, be prepared to pay in upwards of 400,000 Coins.
