Player Review
87 - Icon
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.
