As a huge Thierry Henry fan ever since this card was announced I have been looking forward to trying to get my hands on it. Having used his 90 left winger card as a left forwards previously I knew that he was a deadly finisher and pretty sharp and as soon as the prime was announced I was going to do everything within my powers to get my hands on it. The first thing to look at is that incredible price tag, which I know will be too much for most or will just put people of using him entirely. I'm not going to say that this card is a fair use of 3 million coins as it is a huge sum and there are many ways that money could be invested to suit an individual. But what I can tell you is that if you spend it, you will not be disappointing. I have been lucky enough to use some of the best players in fifa over the years and this card is in a different league to all of them! His pace is terrifying, his dribbling is elegant and the man can put the ball in the net from pretty much anywhere inside 30 yards. Even though he is so expensive, As someone who hates playing offline I don't play squad battles and therefore usually end up with pretty average records on cards as I am no pro player but considering I force the ball to this card as much as possible and shoot whenever I'm in a relatively sensible position this card has ended up being in a league of it's own and no doubt by the end of the game will become my first 1000 goal card. I find it hard to give him a lower value for money because of what this card continues to do for my club. If you've got the coins go out and get him. He single handedly wins divisions, I makes people rage quit within 10 minutes in FUT champs, it simply is the GOAT

Shooting - a shot like a tracer, bend that Beckham would be proud of and a finish on him that is more consistent than any I have ever seen or experienced. He even scores the odd cheeky header from a well placed corner.

Pace - Electric! When he is gone, he's gone and no CB on the game currently can get near him.

Dribbling - The ball is on a string and no one can take the ball off him. His 4* skills are amplified as he enters and leaves the skill itself so quickly and elegantly that is no chance of being caught.

Physical - Strength and stamina the stand outs. This Henry card is strong! Unusually strong for someone of his pace. And the fact that he can maintain it for an entire game means come the 80th minute he is as deadly as that FUTMAS Mussa your opponent has brought on to ruin your weary center backs.

Attack positioning - Better than anyone I have ever used before.

Balance - although it is rarely an issue it would be wrong not to mention it as on the odd occasion it does let him down. When shoulder to shoulder with a defender when sprinting there are a few, and I mean few, occasions you will be charging into the box, the defender gives you a small nudge and Henry goes flying and although you scream penalty at the TV, you know it was no more than a tap.

BETTER THAN 94 AND 90 R9

Movement is stupidly good, have a good passer in behind him and you are sorted. I myself have issues with finishing but with this guy there are no problems at all. Physical is just a joke for someone with his speed, to have this strength is just a deadly combo. Pace is certainly not an issue, play a through ball in behind and Henry is getting there. If you are looking for an Icon striker and have the coins to get either R9 ...

Thierry Henry

The GOAT.

Henry is a god among men. He has incredible finishing and finesse shots and he actually feels like 95+ pace for me. He can muscle any player off the ball and outpace even the fastest defenders. I actually sold his 87 version and Messi to afford his SBC, but he is definitely worth it. If you have the coins, I'd strongly suggest getting this beast.

Thierry Henry

One of the best players I've ever used!

As an huge Arsenal fan, seeing that Henry got an Icon card this year was unbelievable, I wanted to get him as soon as possible. I was ready to get his 90 rated to find out that Prime version is actually being released and somehow I just had enough (thanks to my pack luck giving me Messi from MM's). Into the review, he is absolutely incredible and there is nothing he can do. Very quick and is quite str...
