Arguably one of the greatest ever to grace the Premier League, the king of the Arsenal Invincibles, this man has one grand legacy in our beautiful game.
For featuring on the covers of FIFA 2002 and 2004, Thierry Henry has his Cover Stars Icon SBC available in FIFA Ultimate Team now!
The French striker’s SBC is expensive, coming in at a price of 1.2M coins and needs 14 segments to unlock the card.
He has some absolutely fantastic stats and characteristic such as:
- 99 Acceleration and Sprint Speed with his Controlled AcceleRATE type makes him rapid over moderate distances
- 99 in all in game shooting stats except his paltry 97 Long Shots along with the Chip Shot, Finesse Shot Outside Foot Shot and the Bicycle Kicks Traits makes him one of the best finishers in the game
- Incredible playmaking ability with all passing stats being 90+ as well as having the Flair Passes and the Swerve Passes Traits
- 99 in all dribbling stats except his 95 Balance and the Flair Trait make him exceptionally responsive on the ball
- 99 Heading Accuracy and the Power Header Trait with his 6’2 height makes him incredible in the air despite his low Jumping
- 92 Strength will allow him to stand his ground in physical duels with defenders
- 99 Stamina means he won’t need to be substituted for 90+ minutes
- 5-Star Skill Moves and Weak Foot allow him to make the most out of his amazing stats
- High/Medium workrates are perfect for an attacker
His ideal position in game would be as a lone ST in a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 setup.
He has a similar player profile to that of FUTTIES Kylian Mbappe. People did say they were reminded of a young Henry when they saw Mbappe.
The card does have a couple drawbacks such as:
- His High and Average body type will make him a little heavy while turning
- 74 Aggression is quite low and will hinder him slightly when it comes to 50/50’s and duels
What Chemistry Style to use for Cover Stars Icon Thierry Henry?
The suggested Chemistry Style for Cover Stars Icon Thierry Henry is: HAWK. The boosts in Shooting and Physicals bring his shooting completely up to 99 while the boosts in Aggression and Jumping cover for a couple of his weaknesses.
Cover Stars Icon Thierry Henry: Complete or Yeet?
We’re at the end of FIFA 23, edging towards EA Sports FC 24 but even so this card is the most incredible version of Henry we have seen in FIFA yet. He will enrich your gameplay experience significantly no matter what cards you already have and given how you can practically craft all SBCs for free, this card is definitely worth the time taken to unlock it. My verdict: Complete!
