"Coach why I have to play in the center?"

"Because you're BORN TO BE A STRIKER!"

Arsene Wenger reply to a young Henry's question

So, I write this review on late July for a player that after TOTS and Futties is maybe a little bit underpowered, but if you're a casual player like me and you like use Icons and expecially you're a fan of Henry you cannot miss this gem.

I want from the formation in which Henry was in, I like to make past and present teams and Arsenal was one of them. Starting from the left median in a wide 4 2 3 1 formation and switch him into lone striker position in a narrow 4 2 3 1. Behind him in central CAM position Dennis Bergkamp to form one fo the most incredible partnership I saw in FUT so far.

As a striker I was impressed about the ability of Henry to cut down from a wide position stopping high passages from behind: he makes perfect runs, absolutely perfect. After controlling the ball with grace (his ball control feels higher than 89) he's able to overrun every single defender in game (with Hunter style). It seems to be again if FIFA 15 when the only thing you need was a pacey striker and the job is done. But Henry is much much more. Is a perfect mix of strenght, grace, pace and finesse. EA just do a good job to resemble the real Henry sensation when you play with him, you got the sensation to have a player that can take the ball in the middle of the pitch and score a goal that no one else can score.

I'm a bad player, but he's the only striker on my whole FIFA 19 experience that got more goals than games.

So go on the market, by him and put the Arsenal kit (if you are a neutral supporter like me). Then switch the English commentary and listen at Martin Tyler that in every sigle game will shouts "THIERRYYYYY HENRYYYY! what a goal! is a normal day of work for TH... hat trick for him!"

Thanks for reading

Pace: he feels rapid, unstoppable even in the first paces. Very rare for a such tall player (99 with Hunter chem)

Shooting: flawless. It seems that the normal shots you perform are turned in finesse shots and most of them are in the back of the net. Long shots feel far higher than 84

Passing: more than enough for a CAM, image it on a striker.

Dribbling: it feels higher than the stats suggest, 4 stars skills are a bonus

Physical: if you put a stay forwrd and low interception he will last the whole game

Fun factor: commentary, in-game models and the sensation to have an ICON in your club are very good.

Heading: not the best, he scores some of them but is not his main weapon

Position: yu have to be able to switch him in a striker position to unleash his full potential, as winger he plays good. A striker he's phenomenal

Henry the BEAST

This year the fifa gods rewarded me for many years of almost religous devotion to fut. For the first time ever my luck had turned and I finally got the start of my dreams! This card, though it is not the prime version, feels very much like a prime icon. He can do it all on the pitch and suits the new game play very well, with his big figure, good pace, and excellent crossing.I used him as a left win...

Bald Beast

i have played 32 games with 25 goals in champs in division 1. He is absolutely unbelievable. I received this guy in the mid icon sbc and thought another useless lw to sit on the bench in my team. I was wrong.I played him as a striker in a 41212(2) and 4231 and every time he got the all i felt i could glide passed opponents. I abuse the iniesta skill move with this guy and is shown with his 94 ball control(with chem style) s...
