Hey guys,

At first, I am a regular gold 1 player and after trying Eto'o, Cantona as my Striker, I wanted to go with something different and off the radar. So I decided for Butragueno even though I was quite unsure, since 3* Skills usually is no option for a player of my front four. But I still gave it a go, and I wouldn't regret it. I played him in a 4-4-2 as a striker together with Mbappe with a( have a look at my squad) and he was phenomenal. He is incredibly small, feeling smaller than any player I ever tried before, but at the same time he is unbelievably fast. His 4* Skills really bothered me at the beginning. But as I progressed with Butra, I adapted a more efficient, no-nonsense playstyle, with less skill moves, which made him even deadlier. I can only say, that he scored 180 GOALS in 101 games, while assisting over 70 and I am not even talking about all the penalties I earned through him because he is so incredibly agile.

Pace: He feels Incredibly fast, even faster than his 94 pace which is incredible
Finishing: Incredible, Curve Shots, 1v1 Finishes, , left foot right foot finish.
Dribbling: He can only be stopped with a foul. He probably earned me around 20 Penalties in 100 games for staying so close on the ball even in the box
Aerial threat: He may be small, but if you cross on counterattacks, he'll bang it in. He even scored 2-3 goals after corners but more or less on accident. But don't be shy to cross to him
Passing: alright, even better than expected but he won't be your next Xavi

price: I bought him just shy of 1,7m, but seeing him now around 2,1m I think it is quite steep
Maybe 3* skills: I don't like 3* skills for my offensive players either. But I can only recommend to try him out because for me, this made him even more effective
Set-Play: you shouldn't use him for FKs and Pks, but since you have to spend at least 2m on this bad boy I guess you'll have another player taking care of that

Insane

I don't normally write any reviews, but I saw this man does not have any yet, so I felt compelled to share with you all just how great this guy is for me! I was playing before with Neymar up front next to baby Zola, but I had some spare coins and decided to try prima Butra. Not a single moment of regret since. I am not a great player by any means (currently DIV 4, but on the rise thanks to him), but he cha...

lil butra

so, this card... As a player who uses skill moves when he was one of my picks in my icon player pick I wasn't sure about him but picking him over (mid) del Pierro and (mid) best was the best decision I could have made. This card is the definition of a rat, he is so short and agile and he feels elite, when he bridges he runs around the player against him for fun, he is just so small and fa...

the perfect striker

all year this fifa i have been struggling to find a striker that has perfectly fit my play style, using prime Henry, Ronaldo and many more. finally, i landed on trying prime butra for the first time and i have not had a single second of doubt in his abilities on the field, i use him as a lone striker in a 4-2-3-1 in division 1 with prime stoichkov, POTM messi and rooney all behind him and even with the extra firepower up to...
