87 - Icon

5.0

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

Swift gamechanger

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).

This man should be illegal

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 ...

BABY BEAST

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!
