92 - Flashback SBC

5.0

Torres and Bertie

By Hayabusatech, 19-02-2019

So whilst many players right now are playing ultra defensive and hammering in crosses, I prefer to play properly and not pathetically.

This is where Torres and Bertie come in, They allow me to play proper football, Not cheesing it into the box because I can't shoot without timed finesse.

If this comes across as a slight against the "Meta" of Zlatan because hes tall and pumping into the box then I'm glad because its pathetic.

Torres will collect the ball and shoot with his actual feet in football (UNREAL RIGHT ? ) You don't even have to cross it into his head (He can header well if you like the occasional cross)

Torres plays extremely well with a player i affectionately call "Bertie" (https://www.futbin.com/19/player/21/Emilio%20Butrague%C3%B1o/) together they play one twos and set eachother up for crazy amounts of goals. The mixture of little and large, Pure Force vs Speed and Agility allows you to play on many levels and attack your opponents with creativity without resorting to ultra pathetic defensive and crossing it in on every play. Torres is massively capable of scoring headers of course but of the 70 I've scored with him only 3 have been headers because I despise the "Zlatan-Meta". What's fantastic really is that because he plays in japan he was super cheap, most players probably did not do Torres which adds some uniqueness to playing with him. Sure he's hard to fit in but with the squad above i went from being a Gold 3 player to Gold 1 in a week. Elite 3 and maybe higher is not off the cards with the way that team runs and how i play now.

Torres has changed the way I play and reminded me how easy it is to press the shoot button without having to wait for the cross to come in 3 times per match (because you crossing meta idiots don't get many shots off against me )

If you did Torres get Bertie and make the best little big man pairing since Shaq & Kobe. They are elite and both two footed wonder strikers.

Shooting - So composed in his artful shooting, can score from anywhere

Pace - So much quicker than you imagine, like the FIFA 09 Torres

Strength - Has stopped Virgil Van Cheat more times than I can count

Defying the Meta - He doesn't require pumping it into the box 1000 times to score.

Passing - Decent enough without being world class

Skill Moves - I mean it's obviously a slight draw back

El Niño - The Liverpool hero returns

Quick review before SBC expires.So we've been blessed with the return of the one and only El Nino.As a Liverpool-fan I had to do the SBC, even though Fernando broke my heart back in 2011. His Flashback card, however, reminds me of why it was so hard to take, when he left Liverpool, as he was truly amazing.So far I've played five ga...

King El Nino

First of all I am Huge fan of Torres. I regretted not doing his Flashback card which was expensive that time. When I saw this card, I was so tempted to get it. Firstly, this card is so cheap. Cost around 60-70k coins. I somehow did it for free based on the untradables I had. I guarantee you, it is totally worth it. I did FB Iniesta so that i can play Torres on Full chem. I build an hybrid squad between Liga BBVA, Serie A a...

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

When Freddy Mercury wrote the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody, I can't help but believe he had a premonition about this card in the future. I am a fairly casual FIFA player since FIFA 13, I haven't had the luxury of using all of the best players in the game (outside of loan cards) but I have used my fair share of TOTS cards (please see the squad link provided) and I can't stress this enough. This card is the best card I have ev...
