While Butragueno's base Icon card is already overpowered, his rumored Future Stars Icon card is expected to be more effective and a force to be reckoned with in the virtual pitch. With (predicted) attributes such as 95 Pace and 93 Dribbling, the Spanish striker might stand out as a solo striker in standard 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1 formations.
