How to get the best out of J. Rooney in Career Mode
J. Rooney is a central defender at Derby County (62 overall, CB) — poor at that. At 21 they're aiming at 70. A project, not an instant fix, but the kind worth the wait.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should J. Rooney have?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. Put them in charge of the back line; they defend the box and set pieces better than chasing in open space. They can also play RB. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: strength (72) and jumping (71). That decent strength is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their soft spots: reading of the game (57) and marking (60). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 974 K€ with 4 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. They're also out of contract soon (2026), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How far can they go?
They start from 62 with a ceiling of 70 — that's +8 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.

How high can J. Rooney's rating go?

Are they expensive to sign?

Do they defend the box well?
Their marking is 60 — a bit short for their position.
