A lot of people believed there wouldn’t be much to look forward to in FIFA 23, as there are just a few days left before the release of EA Sports FC 24. However, Electronic Arts proved them wrong by releasing the Thierry Henry Cover Star Icon for the Ultimate Team mode.
Electronic Arts has released many exciting unique Ultimate Team cards since the mode’s introduction in the FIFA franchise. The Icons have been one of the fan favorites among them. This in-game campaign honors the glorious careers of the soccer legends.
Thierry Henry is one of the best strikers in the sport’s history. His exploits with Arsenal and Barcelona are still an inspiration for many rising stars. So, EA Sports commemorated his legacy by adding him to the Icons series. Recently, they released a Cover Star Icon edition for him to honor his appearance on the covers of FIFA 2002 and 2004.
About the FIFA 23 Thierry Henry Cover Star Icon
EA Sports introduced Henry in FIFA 23 with three incredible FUT cards, highlighting various eras of his career. They later honored him with a 98-rated Shapeshifters Icon edition. But none of them came close to his newly released 99-rated Cover Star Icon, which has mind-blowing stats.
- Pace – 99
- Shooting – 99
- Passing – 92
- Dribbling – 99
- Defending – 62
- Physicality – 90
The 99 rating in Pace, Shooting, and Dribbling makes this card stand out. Along with these crazy stats, he has 5-Star Skills and 5-Star Weak Foot to be an absolute goalscoring machine.
The French legend’s new Cover Star Icon card lets him play in his natural position of a Striker (ST). But fans can convert him to other attacking positions like Center Forward (CF) or Left Winger (LW) to suit their plans.
This new Thierry Henry Cover Star Icon is undoubtedly something FIFA 23 fans must need to create a strong competitive FUT squad.
