Adapt and conquer

By Luke197, 22-10-2021

I should start by saying I am an Arsenal fan and Henry is my all time favourite player. And for context I play 4321 with Henry occupying the LF position and POTM Benzema as a False 9 at ST. I've also used a number of the top tier left winger-come strikers to hopefully add some weight to my reivew (Son, IF Son, Mane etc).

I LOVE this card, it took me a little while to learn how to play with him as you can't just bulldoze through defenses like with Mane or shoot from anywhere as you can with Son, but what Henry does bring (with an Engine) is immaculate link up play moving through midfield into attack. I like to play with a bit of a style, and try to do my version of tiki-taka, and this is where he truly excels. None of the aforementioned alternatives can receive a ball and flick it on first time quite like he can. Combine this with more than sufficient finishing from inside the box and smooth dribbling (when not in direct contact with the opposition) and he brings me exactly what I want from that LF position.

I can entirely see the critisisms placed on this card and for 1,000,000 + coins there are a number of players who will be able to match if not beat his output (I have used Neymar in Draft who suits a similar playstyle and may be just as if not more effective), but this is HENRY, so of course he will have a bit of tax on him.

From my point of view, if you want to use this card and are willing to adapt your playstyle to use him then you will not be disappointed. If you just want the most META option at the cheapest price, then sure, there will be better out there for less.

Dribbling, Ball control, Passing, Vision, Finishing inside the box.

Balance is an issue when under direct pressure from an opponent. Suggest just quickly releasing the ball if someone is marking you tightly and triggering an off the ball run into space.
