EL Nino is Elite
By hiphopanchop69, 09-01-2021

So like most of us I'm trying to save coins for the crash but I got so bored of my untradeable team and bought Torres since he's becoming more affordable. I am a Div 1 player and Elite 3ish weekend league player if anyone cares about that.


EL Nino to me is definitely worth the price tag. He's a handful on the pitch and made an impact as soon I put him in the squad. I put a finisher on him after starting off with an engine and I'll tell you why. With the Engine you get the pace boost and the dribbling boost which definitely helps but I thought the finisher gave him that agility he needed for max responsiveness. More importantly you combine that with max shot power and his traits, he becomes one of the best strikers in the game. He glides by opponents and his strong enough to hold off some of the better meta defenders in the game. Torres was strong in the air and scored some headers for me which we all know can bail you out in close games.


Just the complete player for a striker and probably the only thing lacking is 5 Star Skills but everything else is just what you lead to lead the front line.

Definitely think he's worth a try and I would recommend whatever chemistry style you use to max out his agility first.

Pace

Responsiveness(After maxing out agility)

Shooting(Finesse shots are very good)

Headers

Attack Positioning(makes great runs and has good work rates)

Short Passing

Beautiful hair like when he scored the goal to win the euros.

Shot Power(Why I used a finisher but for a prime icon would like this to be higher on base stats)

Expensive(If you have the money give him a shot, if you don't, of course CR7 or Mbappe will always be viable at the ST position.)

Torres the Machine

After trying Mid Puskas, Baby Ronaldo, Mid Eto'o and not being entirely happy with any of them, I decided to give Prime El Nino a shot. And what can I say - he was a Gamechanger for my Squad, bringing me from Div 2 to Div 1 and also bringing the first Elite 3 Weekend League I've ever managed to achieve. I've paired him up with CR7 up front and for me personally he completely stole the show! He feels very very smooth ...
