87 - Icon
henry is a beast and is always in the right position to score a goal. He cuts in from the left a lot making him get a lot of the ball and the goals. With in an instant all he needs to do is cut in from the left side of the box and take a finesse shot from outside the box and 90% of the time the ball is in the back of the net. For me he has scored 31 goals with 8 assists in 13 games and they're all online.

At first for anyone spending over 1 million coins is questionable. But this Henry is something special. This might be his lowing rating icon card but it really matches his 93 and 90 rated cards. I've used his 90 rated card in the draft and it was incredible. I played about two different drafts with the 90 rated card and won both drafts. So when I bought the 87 it felt the same. His pace is insane and combining a hunter plus his height is unstoppable. His finishes are great especially his finesse shots inside or outside the box. He isn't the best header of the ball but inside the box he is deadly with his turns and 4 star weak foot and skills. Even in defending he is good with his long legs. It is very useful. Only downfall is his strength. He gets pushed off the ball easily but usually recovers with his pace. He is mostly used in div 1 and weekend league. He is started as a winger in the 4-3-3 but is switch to a right striker in the 4-1-2-1-2 narrow. A great striker.

I just recently bought baby Henry and so far it has been one of the best buys I've done this year. The guy is unreal. As I only play FUT Champions, I needed a strong and quick player to play along side Prime Larsson and I think I got the right man. Henry has an amazing dribbling and a superb pace. His shooting can be a little off sometimes and don't count to score many long shots with him, because you won't. However, he compensates with a great finishing. I use him as a right striker (with only 7 chem of course) and I really don't notice a difference to 10 chem player. His physical isn't the greatest, but he feels much more stronger than his stats show (the fact he is 188cm probably helps). I bought him (March 2018) for 500k and to be honest it isn't that much for Thierry Henry, even if it is his "worst" version. So far I'm really enjoying the card.
Pace - He runs like a cheetah, it will be incredibly hard for someone to catch him
Dribbling - Really smooth
Finishing - He won't miss in front of goal
Weak foot - Feels like a 5* weak foot player
Physicality - Although he feels stronger than he is, sometimes he gets pushed off the ball
Stamina - Only 75 and if you want him to play the whole game, in the final 20/25 minutes he'll absolutely dead
- Dribbling: It's fantastic. I was capable of getting through almost all defense except when I had to face likes of Kimmich. But the ball sticks to his feet!
- Calm under pressure: Always scored equalizers and always converted 1 vs 1. I did not miss a single 1 vs 1.
- Finishing: I was surprised at how many shots he had converted, shots I couldn't convert with likes of Messi, Martial, Son and Jesus. His driven and finesse shots are almost impossible to stop. He's also great at heading. He was probably the only player in my squad to continuously score from headers.
- Pace: Oh man, you cannot stop him!! Unless you have Boateng or IF Benatia.. he will run and go past all CB as long as you can find him in the right position
- Positioning: He's one of the fewest wingers who gets into open space more than often. All you have to do is finish!
- Balance & Strength: He would never win the strength battle. Anyone with 70+ strength can shove him off due to his balance.
- Stamina: This is not really a con for me because I used him as LF or LW with instructions to stay forward. He always had stamina. But some people like him to come back to defend so then you have to keep a sub in hand.
!!!I have used Henry as LF In a 4-3-3 for over 100 games (125 in total) scoring 107 goals an 47 assists. I payed 785k (FUT CHAMPS/SEASONS)!!!
He is very fast, he can beat any back line when you are sneaking In passes through the defence.
His shooting Is sublime, he can do it all from anywhere within 30 yards to the goal, finesse, low drive, power shot on his right foot, 8.5/10 It's a goal.
Extremely deadly inside the box.
Left foot however Is not the best, considering he has 4 star 4 star you would think It would better for his shooting, often on his left It can either be exceptional or very poor.
He rarely messes up a pass on either foot, also Henry's dribbling an agility Is easily enough to beat a defender in a 1v1.
Physical Is okay, he is strong enough to hold the ball up, but against strong defenders he will struggle, stamina is average.
