FUTBIN Player Review

ICON Butragueño

Emilio Butragueño Santos took on the role of delivering the goals in my squad this past Weekend League.  As previously stated in the Neymar review I committed to the 4-2-3-1 formation throughout this past weekend, and Butragueño rarely left the ST position.  “The Vulture” was a constant presence in the attacking third and I really noticed his movement off of the ball. Having just reviewed Dalglish last weekend it was an excellent opportunity to compare the two talismans and what they can bring to any squad.  Butragueño was the baby faced assassin in the following squad this weekend:

Overall

Rating: 9.5/10
Pace Rating: 9.9/10
Dribbling Rating: 9.5/10
Shooting Rating: 9.9/10
Passing Rating: 8/10
Physical Rating: 8/10
Defending Rating: N/A

In the end, there was nothing to split Dalgish and Butragueño and therefore they get the same rating but get there in slightly different ways.  Truthfully, after the 20 games, I was not sold on Butragueño overall and had a completely different review prepared, but the final 10 Weekend League games completely changed my tune.  I am not sure if it was me just getting the hang of how to properly use this card? In any case, Butragueño added an additional 15 goals in 10 games to end the Weekend League and was a key performer match after match.  The key here is the finishing on this card; MARKSMAN seems to be a popular option with this card; HUNTER was my choice though.  95 POSITIONING, 96 FINISHING, 94 SHOT POWER, and a very powerful 5 STAR WEAK FOOT … all equal to a very clinical option in front of goal.

    
Linkability & Current Game Strength 

Linkability Rating: 4.5/5
Current Game Strength Rating: 5/5

I won’t spend a great deal of time on the links, obviously Butragueño links to anyone, there are just not a lot of Spanish players in the Meta at the moment.  Jumping straight into the current game strength Butragueño was built for this FIFA.  99 ACCELERATION & 99 SPRINT SPEED made Butragueño one of the quickest forwards I have used in the game.  Mixed with 88 AGILITY & 87 BALANCE, Butragueño can twist and turn out of any situation he is faced with.  The acceleration out of these dribbles is what truly sets him apart from other options I have used, including Dalglish.

Value/Coins & Good vs. Bad

Value/Coins Rating: 5/5
Good vs Bad Rating: 5/5

Honestly, I feel like Butragueño is one of the most fairly priced higher-end cards I have used this FIFA.  To me, this is a million coin card, which presently sells for around 800k.  There are currently only two cards with similar statistics and a 5 STAR WEAK FOOT that sell below the price of Butragueño (TOTT Son and NIF Neymar), every other option is well into the million plus coins and demonstrates how good of value Butragueño truly is.

But everything was not sunshine and rainbows this weekend and Butragueño does have some flaws that caught the eye. First off, I can understand why some FUT Managers might even opt for the DEADEYE chemistry style to try and boost some of Butragueño’s rather poor passing statistics.  The 80 SHORT PASSING was enough to provide quality link-up play in and around the box and hence the nice assist return.  But outside of the 5-yard pass, this card was shockingly inaccurate. Furthermore, it is no surprise given the size (5’6: 168cm) and 61 STRENGTH that Butragueño is easily bullied off of the ball and can be increasingly frustrating against quicker defenders.  Finally, the 3 STAR SKILLS leaves a lot to be desired and can be a deal-breaker for some FUT Managers. 

Closing Words

The more I think about the comparison to Dalglish I think I may have just sold Dalglish short overall.  While Butragueño is a dead-on 9.5/10 I do think Dalglish may just eclipse him at a 9.6/10.  At a million coin difference, it should be expected that Dalglish outperformed Butragueño, but it truly was at a minuscule margin.   In any case, you are getting a fantastic finisher in Butragueño, he finds ways to put the ball into the back of the net and that is what you are paying for here.  The quality and variety of goals that he produced this past weekend were key to the squad’s success and I have no doubt he would do the same for you.  Cheers for reading.

I did the icon swaps and initially aimed for Drogba. But after some investigation I found that most people found Drogba too sluggish and "everyone" praised Butra.


So I decided to go for the little guy instead. I haven't regretted it - he is so agile and fast. I also have Messi in my squad and Butra with his five star weak foot he feels even better (or it could be that I am too used to Messi).


Anyways, Butra and Messi slices through the most defences, especially in the lower divison where they try to attack the ball instead of screening.


Butra's precision shot is really powerful (using Hunter).


He is of course weaker than Griezmann (who runs CAM behind him in my squad) but go for Butra - you want regret it.


I've done 4 games in weekend league (3 wins so far) and Butra has scored in every game.

This man should be illegal
By MikaSkillz, 29-11-2019

Ait, so a quick review for those considering his fut swaps, You are probably considering Hagi, owen, sanchez or any other lower card. I can tell you, I was considering Hagi or Sanchez too. I chose to be safe, and I found out theres a reason why hes 1.1 mil. This guy is crazy. I partnered him with scream Zlatan to try to make up for the physical deficeit of the card. These 2 are literally born together. Butragueño plays as a LS in a 41212 with Reus behind him. I put a hunter on butragueño, as his pace and agility is his main trait. In the games 23 games he played, he has 38 goals for me and 10 a**ists. IMPORTANT, with value for money, I say he is well worth 19, in terms of paying 1.1 million coins, I would say it is quite steep considering Mbappe is also that price, and there are a few Icons which are only a few 200 k more that I would say are better such as Dalglish. Notable to mention as well, when he does head the ball, he heads it very well so that is not too bad either.

  • Pace. This man has ADHD when he runs, his tiny, miniature little legs run at the speed of light. The best thing is that with a hunter he reaches top speed almost instantly, you just take the long way around the defender.
  • Dribbling. This dude is like a little child, after you give it 20 cups of coffee and some rocket boosters. This guy is like a fighter jet. Just goes left or right instantly. His fake shots are acceptable, not too great but does the job to cut inside. However the fake shot where you are sprinting and change course ever so slightly is so insanely good its criminal
  • Shooting. Damn, this guy can shoot. He can just score from absolutely anywhere, Ter stegen or even van der Sar can stop him. May as well not have a keeper when you play this man
  • His traits. Finesse shot trait makes his finesses so damn good. Bends it like beckham every single time. Also his right foot is his left foot. His 5* wf is crazy


  • Stamina. As this man is so god damn fast and I just do 1-2s with him he is prone to running out of stamina around the 90 minute mark. He won't last 120 minutes.
  • 3* skills. This is his only real downside. He cant do a proper fake shot, and with 4* he would be so much better
  • His strength. Disclaimer, It is not really a con. you just have to work with it and learn how to use him. He will NOT win any 50/50 challenges, but he is capable of husting a defender to make them lose the ball
  • The very fact that this man is in fut swaps makes him a con immediately because you will have to taste a bit of your own medicine every single time you play against him.
  • His game face makes him look like he is 43

One of the best baby strikers?
By KingJamieS, 18-11-2019

I can’t lie, paying out 1 million coins on an 87 rated striker was something I wasn’t the happiest about but I knew there had to be a reason for him to hold that price point for this long (and is on the rise now). My god – is he worth the money. The 5* weak foot along with the unstoppable finishing, this card is one of the best baby cards on the game.


I used Emilio in a 4-2-3-1 in the ST position, using just get in behind. His attacking positioning was incredible whether it was a 30 yard through ball, a low-driven cross across the box from Salah or possession build-up, he was always in the right position at the right time. The short burst sprinting sold the opposition every time – he feels like he’s gone from 0 to 100 in a matter of simply pressing the R2 button instantly. Alongside the rapid pace, his agility and balance is phenomenal. I was expecting him to feel smooth but not THIS smooth. The small little turns inside the box sold the defenders every time.


The only negative I can feel with this card is the strength but you have to expect that with a guy of 5’6 and a base stat of 61. However, if you use him how I did, he’s unstoppable. He’s not the Ibra type player where you can play it into his feet to hold up, he’s pure pace with high agility and unstoppable finishing.


To conclude – I won’t be selling him any time soon!

Unstoppable finishing.

Quick bursts of pace.

Long shots OP.

5* weak foot.

High agility and balance.

3* skill moves (however I don’t use skills outside the drag back / ball roll)

Low strength, easily pushed off in a shoulder-to-shoulder

Long passing is suspect at times

The low aggression can be seen at times

BABY BEAST
By berkelma, 19-04-2020

I'm still using this beast. Last week i was playing with Moments Hernandez, baby Butra is way better than this guy. Movement and dribbling feels very comfortable. Finishing is GOAT. I was using hawk and engine chem. style but i think sniper is the best one for Butra.He is affordable. WORTH EVERY PENNY!

5 star WF; he can score from everywhere. Positioning is very very good he is very smart. Movement and dribbling feels very nice, can turn easily.

Fits perfect for the meta.

Sometimes feel weak,3 star skill is not a big problem but would be perfect if its 4 star. Shot power is a big issue for this guy.

Nimble, maxed pace and shooting
By Coolbeans420, 26-11-2019

Review (86 games, 77 goals WL and rivals)

One of the best players to run in behind with (especially in first half, see cons). His med-med workrates are not an issue since you can make him high-low using the tactics Stay Forward with custom tactics. I also recommend keeping him on Get in Behind. In the box, he is lethal at any angle given his 5* weak foot. Taking many touches in the box with butra baits defenders and creates open space which he is agile enough to enter into and finish easily. The drag-back is very useful but it becomes ineffective at the later end of the game where his speed and agility are stunted by his stamina. His stamina isn't terrible but it is very noticable in the later end of the second half. Butragueño is far more useful closer to the box than from far out - due to the recent (november) updates, the longshot mechanics have changed; his long shots are noticeably average so I would try to get as close as possible to the goal before shooting. The main thing this card lacks is 4 or 5* skills. If he had this (along with better stamina) he would definately be top 3 or 4 cards in the whole game.


Do's and don'ts

Get close to goal for shots

Perform short passes/through balls

Shoot close to the box/ in the box

Take lots of touches in the box


Long shots

Long passing

Rely on his agility near the end of the game


Links

Being an icon striker, he is very easy to move around your squad; change to a CF, CAM, CM or CDM optimal links.


David Villa Link

In a 4-5-1 formation it is possible to link David Villa on full chemistry (David Villa as ST and Butragueño as one of the CAM's).


Chemistry

I would only ever place a Hunter on Butragueño which pretty much maxes his shooting stats excluding long shots.


Fifa 20 vs Fifa 19 Butragueño

If you used him last year you will find he is very similar, albeit slightly less effective. Nevertheless, he is still amazing and a star in my squad. If you are considering getting him for futswaps, I would HIGHLY recommend it.

Unbelievable price-permormance ratio
By BestTraderOfYourTrust, 30-06-2020

I was looking for a 5 star wf stricker and after many people swarming of him I bought this guy.

From game one on he played unbelievable: 90 % of his shots are a goal and the ball nearly is part of his body. I play him with hunter and even if the balance and agility aren't so high with his 5'6" he feels like 99 both.


Playing him with my untrade CR7 TOTSSF they destroy every opponent, especially Butras volleys are from another star. With both feet he makes goals nobody expects and no keeper has a chance against him. (If the game don't wants to f*ck me)

His runs are very good timed and he's never in offside. The 3 star skills doesn't even makes him bad, the only skill you will need is the dragback.


Overall the best striker I played this year and for this money Butra baby is an unbelievable icon.

sick volleys

5 star wf

pace with hunter

shots are a goal in 90%

very agile and sick ball control

nice runs

sometimes physical strong defenders push him away

The worst icon in the game (Nakata is better)
By Albxrto1, 18-02-2020

Butra is the worst icon in the entire game. I grinded 19 swaps for this piece of garbage that looks like a 40 year old man in game. My guy struggles to get by an 80 rated joe gomez! He's weaker than my nan. This card is an absolute disgrace to fifa.

  • 5 star weak foot (Still feels like a 1 star imo)
  • nothing
  • nothing again
  • complete bum licker
  • struggles to out body a 2 year old girl.
  • looks like he's 70 yet its his baby card
  • smaller than a cat
