FUTBIN Player Review

ICON Butragueño (87)

This is it, this is the one I have been waiting for.  El Buitre.  I truly believe that if it were not for my reviews and a need to constantly shuffle coins, that I would have Butragueño in my squad full time all year.  This card epitomizes everything that I love in a striker and for three years running has delivered the goods in my Weekend League reviews.  FIFA 21 was no different as Butragueño combined the deadly combination of Pace, Dribbling, Shooting & Player Architype to a fantastic scoring return across his 20 matches.  In the end, I believe I came to the right choice to apply a HUNTER chemistry style to the Spanish speedster and I was extremely satisfied with the results.  If you read my review on Record Breaker Jadon Sancho or follow me on Twitter: @IVIaeNine you would know that Butragueño paired with the Dortmund man for a few matches before teaming up with Neymar for the remainder of the weekend.  Butragueño slotted in perfectly as the left hand striker in my 4-4-2 formation, punishing opponents all weekend in the following squad:

There are times in FIFA when you apply a chemistry style and you wonder whether or not the boost was even applied.  The statistic says 99 but it is hard to determine if there was a notable increase in performance at all.  This can not be said for Butragueño and the Pace boost he received from the application of the HUNTER chemistry style.  Originally I thought it would be best to apply the DEADEYE chemistry for the much needed Passing boost, mixed with the perfect results to his Shooting… and truth be told it went quite well.  However, after one game of applying the HUNTER chemistry style, it became clear that this was the way to go.  The 99 ACCELERATION and 99 SPRINT SPEED on a 168cm (5’6) player was incredible and would have caused defenders issues all weekend by itself… but then there is the dribbling.  88 AGILITY & 87 BALANCE would be a great combination on any player, but with the smaller player archetype and mixed with Butragueño’s pace it was a recipe for some of the most responsive left stick dribbling I have felt in this FIFA.  I realize that the 3 STAR SKILLS will be off putting for some, but it is not a deal breaker for me and I found Butragueño to be an absolute wizard on the ball with his close control.          
      
          

Main Statistic - Shooting
Main Attribute - 5 STAR WEAK FOOT

Shooting Rating: 10/10
Weak Foot: * * * * *
Traits: Finesse Shot 

Lethal. Ruthless. Cold-blooded. Clinical.  You run out of adjectives to describe the finishing with this card.  The variety and quality of finishing that was on display this weekend are exactly why I have always been a huge fan of this card.  99 FINISHING feels exactly as it should and was just as potent on either foot, which is not always the case in all 4 or 5 STAR WEAK FOOT players.  89 SHOT POWER has exactly the right velocity to find the top bins, out of the keepers reach from anywhere inside and outside of the box.  99 VOLLEYS make the double X chipped pass a non-issue to hit first time. While the 95 POSITIONING is evident in the movement and areas that Butragueño finds himself in throughout a match, making it easier to take advantage of his ridiculous shooting.  Honestly, everything about this card was built for finishing and the 31 goals in 20 matches were only hindered by the 10 rage quits during the review.   

Value/Coins & Good vs. Bad 

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

For 1.1 million coins you are definitely expecting quality and certainly wanting results from your hard earned coins. Butragueño delivers both by the bucket load.  The question here was never really is he worth it, but rather, what else is out there in the same price range?  In terms of ICONs, Stoichkov and Drogba are sitting close to Butragueño and both I am sure offer their own intriguing options.  I have not used either but now I am certainly looking harder at them both, as I would personally like to know the “best ICON for around a million coins” ... seems like a good YouTube series.  Beyond the ICONs there is Neymar of course, who for me just edges Butragueño in terms of overall quality, but can be difficult to link.  Then finally you have the potential for both RTTF Rashford and RTTF Aubameyang … but you won’t see the results for those spent coins until closer to March.  So in the end I arrive at the conclusion that Butragueño is about perfect value, and worth every coin even by comparison. 

It was not all sunshine and rainbows with this card, but after about his third hat-trick of the weekend, I started to forgive any shortcomings without much thought.  However, it is worth noting that two weaknesses caused minimal issues throughout the weekend.  One was the obvious weakness attached to Butragueño’s 61 STRENGTH.  Given the pace and dribbling it is quite difficult to lay a hand on Butragueño and more often than not I lost the ball actually trying to dribble through my opponent, not because of a challenge involving a battle of strength.  But the few times I did, I lost them all, and for some that might be a deal breaker.  Secondly, the Passing with this card is just not as crisp as you would like.  Ultimately this is the main reason I mentioned Neymar above Butragueño in the end, as it is truly the only thing separating them.  It was not as if Butragueño was like a fire hose spraying passes everywhere, there were just some instances where tight spaces required pinpoint passing and he simply fell short.  
 

Closing Words

With all of that said and done I just want to double down on how incredible this card is.  I realize that I am eventually going to have to sell this little general, but I am truly sad to see him go.  It is the reliability for me.  There are not many cards in FIFA that are almost a guaranteed thing in front of goal and for me, Butragueño has always been way up there in that respect.  Even better, Butragueño has the guile and pace to put himself in those positions and I am not looking forward to marching into battle this weekend without him.  If you are in the position to spend a million coins and looking for a card that can truly pull your squad forward, look no further ... he may be small, but he is mighty.  Cheers for reading.

Bargain for skill level
By JordanWedge, 14-10-2020

I was torn between Butra and Drogba. Both similar price and I like a big strong striker so was leaning towards Drogba. Ended up with Butra for 920k so snapped him up. Best decision ever. Playing in division 3 and has been nothing short of a monster. Scored a lot. Like, A LOT. Weak on the ball and can not score headers ever, even if there isnt anyone within 5 miles but thats not what hes there for. Link up play is also great. Looking forward to his prime coming out. Defo the best value for coins icon striker at this point in the game.

¡El BUITRE!
By luisssvaldezzz, 29-10-2020

I started FIFA with tons of luck by packing Kante, Martial, and Mane Trans and Salah Intrans. I had about 1 Million coins and decided to buy Butra because of its 5 weak foot. I'm not that much of a skilller but with this card, you don't need skills. This card with a hunter it's just a killer 99 pace and 92 shooting he took me to 17-11 in the WL with about 4 90th minute losses. In the first WL i played with IF Ben Yedder which is really good but doesn't make a big difference, unlike Butra which completely destroys players such as Van Dijk and Varane.


I would totally recommend you to use him if you have the coins now that it can really change your teams' form.


You can find me as https://www.twitch.tv/elwow_gaming on twitch.


Hope you can find my review helpful, have a good one.

HE IS INSANE
By skellyyyyyyyyy92, 07-12-2020

I was very relunctant to do the base icon sbc but got pressured into it by watching all the sick packs. I was doing my roulette and went through all the sick ones. I thought about spanish striker and I was thinking yeah if it butra instead of torres than it would be sick. I knew butra was sick(I do like to watch McJell) but let me tell you that he went beyond my expectations. First weekend league with butragueno and he scored 44 goals and got 13 assists from the striker position is a 4-2-3-1. This was in the gold 1-elite 3 range(I am not the greatest player but not bad). I had him on stay forward and get in behind and let me tell you that he was INCREDIBLE!!!!

Pace. 90 pace plus the hunter chem style( which is the chem style I would reccomend). He made incredible runs in behind and got past even the quick defenders of varane and gomez.

Shooting. Inside or outside the box, his finishing is just elite. Barely misses any chances and is a lot more reliable than the RTTF Promes that I used in the weekend before.

5* star weak foot. His weak foot is incredible and makes him a very versatile finisher. I do love a bit of 5* star weak foot.

Dribbling. The stats don't do him justice. Even without a finisher or engine, he felt very agile(probably due to his 5"6, smaller frame) and his ball control and dribbling are elite.

Passing. Even though his passing stats aren't the greatest, I had no problems with his passes. Obviously as a striker I wasn't sending long through balls and making a ton of passes with him but when he needed to pass, they were good.

Price: Compared to many other strikers in the game(specifically icon strikers) Butra is great value for coins.

3 star skills moves. Probably my least favourite part of the card and it is why I wasn't completely sold when I first got him. I do like to have 4 star skill moves and having 3 isn't the best but I worked with it and honestly with the pace and dribbling, I didn't even notice it that much.

Low Physicality. His low physical stats did mean that he did get pushed off the ball a decent amount and he isn't going to be winning any headers but if your buying him for the physicals, than you are already doing something wrong.

Emilio Butragueno review - goals for fun!
By Fluxxx, 26-03-2021

I packed this dude in an icon pack early in the game and have pretty much used him in every squad since. Sometimes he played on the wing, that is why his goal ratio might not seem that special, but let me tell you: this dude scores from insane angles, and has a really nice finesse shot in front of goal. Let me start with pace: It's very good, like very, very good. He outruns most defenders, but sometimes they will catch up, especially a bit later in the game when he is a bit lower on stamina. Next his shooting: fenominal. Second best finisher I have used, after TOTY Lewandowski. I even have a description I now use when there is an angle where it is very hard to finish: a butra angle, because he would probably finish it. So many times I have just shot at the goal in hopes that the keeper deflects the ball into someone else, but often the ball just flies in the back of the net. He really is a good striker of the ball. His dribbling and passing are nothing too special, but he feels very nimble on the ball because of his height..

His passing is sometimes a bit poo, I won't lie. this is what frustrates me the most: sometimes he just passes it randomly too hard or too soft, and this can kill an attack. His physicals are pretty bad, he gets pushed off the ball quite often, especially now with much better defenders than earlier in the game. Overall, this card is very good, BUT! If you want to buy him, there are probably better value cards on the market, but most importantly, I would seriously not reccomend to get him from swaps, only if you can't afford him from the market. It is insane that you need to spend so many tokens for him in my opinion, but if you really want him, then go ahead and enjoy this beast!

I tried him out on the wing also, and while sure, he is pretty fast and his finishing is still pretty good, he doesn't feel like a winger at all and often times he would roam inward, which isn't ideal. I would reccomend to play him as a Striker or CF if you really need to play him there.

Butragoat
By Lawroninthegandon, 18-01-2021

Butragueno is one of the best Players I've ever played. Hes fast. His shoot is incredible and his dribbling is so op. If you have the ball with him you're happy. You're just gonna run past his defenders and shoot.

Shoot. Dribbling. Pace. Icon so easy links. Looks nice ingame

BUTRA
By Pbrown7582, 03-07-2021

This is my first review of the year and who to start with but BUTRA! When the second icon swaps of the year got announced I got my eyes set on this butra card as I’d heard he was quite good. The day that we were 2 get this card came and soon began 2 worry it would be a waste of (15 icon swap) tokens, but my fear was soon overturned. Within 2 games he had 13 goals and 6 assists. If that doesn’t say how good he is I don’t know what is.

Well the first one is, well, just look at the price. If you did the icon swaps you saved yourself just under 200k, which is a bargain anyway. This is only the 87 as well so imagine what the 93 would be like! He also made fut champs a lot easier and rivals was also easier. This card has dropped so much but is still so good. Oh and he also can link 2 any1 u want him 2.

The first thing would be the 3* moves. Tbh this isn’t much of an issue as he can just run through defences! Anyways, hope u enjoyed my 1st review of this fifa!

Mr. IN-Consistent
By LewisJH24, 13-11-2020

is a player in fifa who is very meta, pace pace pace, what a player...However he is not worth the 1 million coins I paid at the time of this review. 

For starters this player is the base Icon & he has massive holes in his game. Some games he has some worldies, & some games he has stinkers. 

I have neButra ver ever had a player who can miss so many sitters & score wondergoals, It is very strange. Now I do need to say he scored 14 goals in 13 games in div 2

but a lot of these games are hat-tricks & Braces, some games he was world class & some of the games he is nowhere to be seen, hence the title MR. In-Consistent.

For 1 million coins you get a player who you could probably buy for 200-300k, IMO I would only buy this player for <700k. He's good but not the finished product.
