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.

Bargain for skill level

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...

¡El BUITRE!

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 whi...

HE IS INSANE

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 weeke...
