85 - Normal
Tried Mkhitaryan in Fifa 17 and it never really clicked for me, plus there were better options at RW/RM/RF to chose from in the EPL.
I packed him and decided to give him a go. Took a while for me to work out how to use him properly though.
Tried him as a Right winger, found he was a little slow to get in behind and went missing.
Tried him at CAM, found he didn't get forward with the attack enough.
i was about to sell him then tried him at LF and........... WOW!
Honestly, give it a go! He's awesome there. He's played over 271 games for the club and the first 50-100 were while i was figuring out how to use him so his stats do really do him justice (271 games 109 goals).
Once at LF he was banging them in consistently. Fut Champs, Squad battles (legendary), divisions, he now assists or scores every game. Not really sure how many games he's played at LF but he's involved in at least one goal every game at the moment.
Starting in a 4321 formation with Henry and Jesus up top with him. At the start of the match i switch Henry to ST, Jesus to RF and Mkhitaryan to LF.
He just seems to know where to be at the right time. If i need him Wide, there he is. If i need him cutting in, there he is. Even though his finishing stat isn't that high he seems to find the back of the net regularly. Driven shots with the left foot, cutting in and finessing with the right, he does both easy.
With a Hunter card his pace is half decent and he can get in behind if you time the pass right. I use to have Hazard at LF and Mkhitaryan has been far more effective for me than Hazard was.
(Hazard's driven shots with his weak foot are trash by the way. honestly feels like a 3 star weak foot not 4).
Mkhitaryan's card is so cheap for how he performs. Go get him, switch him to LF in game and watch the goals fly in! I hate the term OP but i don't know how else to describe him. Overpowered!

Never tried Mkhitaryan before. Actually I was not going to buy him in FIFA 18 too but he came to my team from free pack (untradeble).
It is a bit challenging to use him with La-Liga squad because of rare nation hopefully Mata+Manquillo helped to create good links.
What can I say? He is brilliant and real hard worker on the field.
Comparing to Dembele he has less speed and dribbling but shooting, phys and pass are really cool.
Good pace and ball control
Shooting out of box
not a bad dribbling skills
Weak foot is not weak!
Stamina is close to be perfect!
Few more speed. Sometimes he need to be a bit quicker
Pass is not his best attribute. 3/5
I use Mkhitaryan as RWB in my 5-3-2 formation with 7 Chem, and the order is overlapping. Architect aims in improving his strength and crossing.
5 Star week foot. He can cross or shoot with either foot accurately.
Stamina is enough for repeatedly overlapping in 90 mins.
Pace is great to get rid of most defenders.
4 Star skill and dribbling ability.
Corner specialist makes a lot of assists from the corners.
H/H work rates makes his defending much better than the value shows.
Passing ability is acceptable with Architect.
Defending is a bit low for a wing back but it is enough when you have three center backs.
Not strong enough to protect the ball.
Played him at rm, rw and rf andit didn't work. At cam he is insane. I pick the ball up with him and run up the field, pass it through to jesus or martial and then either give it back to him and shoot or shoot with my strikers.
Long range finishing and shot power
two-footed
very good on the ball
Drops too deep
Henrikh Mkhitaryan was probably my first Marquee player in FUT. He can play anywhere across the attacking midfield positions, but CAM is where we can exploit his potential. Can score from range and can finesse it with either foot. H/H work rate means he can drop back and defend if necessary. Has played as a RWB as well when I moved it to a 3-5-2.
4* Skills
5* WF
Long Shots
Finesse
Cross-body shot.
Dribbling
Can play in multiple positions
Not many cons but sometimes may lose out a physical battle and is a little inconsistent with his heading.
