86 - Icon
Henrik Larsson is a pure finisher. Heading, bicycles, volleys, you name it. His dribbling is decent, but don't expect too much. he can still do some OP skill moves, such as the heel to heel(shot fake version) and can do the occasional step over feint to beat a few players. I've used him for quite a while, so he doesn't seem as good as when I started using him. His shooting is very good. His high finishing is quite clear. Yet his longshots and shot power are not the greatest. From the edge of the box, he can score. if you put enough power on it, he can score into the top corner. His longshots are quite irrelevant for me, as his shot power feels too low. But he has scored a 40 yard screamer before. He can function as a left winger, right winger, right attacking mid, or even a left attacking mid. He's that good. Back post headers truly work with him, and he feels similar to his 90 rated. Honestly, I was working on the prime Larsson card, until I packed this guy. Obviously I haven't even considered getting the 90 rated. He's pretty much the same(I've tried his loan). But with tots here, he is starting to fade away. Now, tots Higuain is leading the line for me, while Larsson is placed out wide.

Stamina(occasionally
Henrik "Henke" Larsson is probably the best player I've ever used in FIFA! I packed him in Squad Battle rewards, and I was ecstatic, because I thought I would never pack an Icon this year. However, I didn't think his stats were as great as I thought they would be (because it's an ICON). But in the first match I played with him, I didn't really care about that anymore. It was love at first sight. It is the greatest card I've ever played with, and I will probably never sell him. His pace is good, his shooting is phenomenal (especially his finishing, but he can also score long-shots). The physical part of his game is fantastic, he never gets pushed off the ball by the defenders. He scores goals with both feet, and with his 92 heading accuracy, the defenders can't stand a chance when it comes to headers. I really recommend this card to players who like to use strong, physical, quick and agile players, as this is a well-rounded card.

Summary
I've used Henrik Larsson for 50 games now so i felt it was time to give a review. Since the start of fifa when I packed pogba I was seriously interested in this card. His work-rates are perfect, positioning fantastic and a clinical finisher. Three star skills means he might not be able to solo run past the opponents entire team but thats not really what hes about. He gets into perfect positions, if you pass it on to him his dribbling is nice, and good enough to get into the box and finish or one of his incredible finesse shots. He has the finesse shot trait which is VERY present when you get off a finesse with him, they are nothing short of amazing. His pace is plenty to beat defenders with a hawk or a hunter or somehting to increase pace, hes just strong enough to not get bullied off the ball too easily but hes not Ibra so dont expect to shield the ball from the halfway line to goal.
He seems to be able to score really nicely on either foot, haven't really experienced any problems with that 4 star weakfoot yet. His passing felt nice in game for quick one twos to get past the defence.
CONS
He doesn't really have that many cons, the only thing I could put is that for some reason when your looking for a pass (its probaly just me) but he seemed to wander offside significantly and on the regular, but this wasnt a problem as it was almost as if he was finding a slot for the perfect position which he most of the time seems to find.
The amount of goals he scored might not seem amazing, but the way I play he fits perfectly as I have martial and third inform sterling to make runs infront of him, and the fact his ingame face and player is sick is an added bonus.
- Positioning
- Finishing
- Passing
- Finesse Shots
- Strong enough
- Occasionaly wonders offside, enough to notice but not enough to really impact the game negatively.
- If you have to play past 90 minutes and its been an intense game then he can sometimes be low on stamina, but this usually isnt a problem
At first i was saving money to afford and an icon while this hard process i have faced against this beast and he hammered me..Actually it was falling in love at first look.Then i bought him and he scored 118 goals and made 28 assist in 81 game (wl and div3-4)
He has got good traits like tries to beat the defensive line and chip shot.With chip shot he can simply chip from any angle and distance.In addition he is rapid as rocket.he is always at the position that he has to be.By the way he is one of the cheapest st icons.So if you are looking for a st icon he is friendly for your wallet and enemy of your oppenents :)

Sometimes he is staying at offside.
