Player Review
92 - Icon
Hello everyone, this will be my first review on Futbin, so here goes nothing! I packed Butra in a 55k pack from a random SBC, who knew they could give out, right? Anyways, he was and is my first and only icon packed in FUT 20, so naturally, I slotted him right into my team. And after 211 games played with him, I can definetly say he is a player that plays like his stats say he should. While new FIFA players may find what I just said a bit confusing, experienced FIFA players will now that more often than not, players do not play as well as their stats suggest they should. I mostly used him in Rivals, but there are also approximately 60 weekend league games in there, in all of which he performed similarly. My verdict on the card is that he plays like his card stats suggest (except for one, see below), he is a very solid striker that will do everything you need him to, but for the 1.4m coins he is right now, I would maybe wait it out on buying him due to TOTS being next week and then compare him to other non-icon options that might get full chem in your team. Thanks for reading my review, be welcome to leave an upvote, if you enjoyed it!
PACE: Obviously, as 95 acceleration and 93 sprint speed already suggest, he is quick. He also seems like it, probably due to his height and good dribbling stats. With the hawk chemistry-style on him, his pace should be almost maxed out on paper, but I don't think it is quite. But we all know how fast defenders can catch up this FIFA.
SHOOTING: Already having great finishing stats, the hawk only amplifies those and makes him very, very clinical. He scores everything you expect him to, I found him to be especially good with all types of inside the box finesse shots, also occasionally putting in the ones from outside the box. I never was in a situation where I thought: "OMG, how did he miss that?!", which is very rare for this FIFA, hence the 10/10 for shooting. (Note: I do not think he has the greatest outside the box shooting, but generally I never went for those shots anyways, as we all know that long shots are just not the way to go this year.)
DRIBBLING: The dribbling stats are one of two important areas not boosted by the hawk, but I still found his dribbling to be good enough. It is more than solid, he always feels agile even in the bad gameplay, which might also be down to his height. He feels responsive and his first touch is almost always good (there can be the odd one out), I don't know what more you could want from a striker (obviously 4+ skill moves, but that will be covered later), therefore a solid 8/10 on the dribbling score.
5*WF: The 5*WF imo is his biggest pro by far, it is so insanely important to have attackers that are equally good on both feet, and with Butra I can confirm that he definetly is just that (unlike some of the FUT-Birthday players with upgraded 5*WF, he also seems to be aware he is equally good on both feet.) I don't think any more needs to be said about this point.
(3*SM): At first I thought the 3*SM would be bothering me ingame, but except for the odd stop and turn or standing scoop turn, there are little skills I really missed being able to do with him. It only showed what I previously assumed that for strikers, a 5*WF is much, MUCH more important than 4*SM. If you want to play him anywhere else than striker however, I can see the skillmoves becoming a problem, so be aware of that.
PASSING: Passing is surprisingly the biggest con for me, as I often rely on my strikers taking part in the play, and with 89 vision and 85 short passing I thought he was able to do just that, but at times I thought his passing to be a bit lackluster. This might not be the same for you tho, and if you play him in a position where you heavily rely on his passing you might want to try the engine chemistry-style.
STRENGTH: Strength is definetly one of his obvious cons, the hawk chemistry-style won't change much about that. Due to his size, he will be weak and easily shouldered off the ball, but with that it is always important to keep in mind the pros of being short in FIFA 20.
(WORKRATES): The last con that needs to be mentioned, even if in brackets, are his workrates. Medium/Low seems a bit off-putting at first glance, but I never found them to have a negative impact on the cards positioning or offensive runs. Messi also has Medium/Low and I believe he does just fine for people ;).
