Yet another insane Cover Star Icon has been added to FIFA 23 Ultimate Team!
EA has gone above and beyond to make the ending of the FIFA franchise as special as possible before the release of EA Sports FC 24 on 29 September.
The FUTTIES and Cover Star Icon promos have made for some great fun over the past couple of weeks, and yet another fantastic card has been added to the game.
Former Arsenal and Barcelona legend Thierry Henry becomes the latest Cover Star Icon to be on FIFA 23 and could be the most complete endgame striker of them all!

Like all the other Cover Star cards that have been released by EA over the past few weeks, Thierry Henry comes as an SBC.
These have been made super easy to complete recently, thanks to the introduction of the 84x10 and the 85x10 SBCs, which have allowed players to constantly recycle players into other Squad Building Challenges, thanks to them being repeatable.

Which FIFA cover was Thierry Henry on?
The Frenchman is known for his unbelievable finishing, and the ability to glide past his opponents with such guile.
During his glory years under Arsene Wenger at Arsenal, Henry played a huge part in the ‘Invincibles’ season, which saw the Gunners go unbeaten for a full season in the Premier League.
Featuring on two covers of the franchise, Henry was the solo play on the FIFA 2002 cover, before being joined by Alessandro Del Piero and Ronaldinho on the cover of FIFA 2004.
Is he be any good?
The short answer is yes.
FIFA players have been fairly unimpressed with Henry's cards in the past, believing that he should have better dribbling and balance on his Icon cards.
However, EA released a 98 RW Shapeshifters Icon version of the player, and fans were very happy with his stats. Although, a little less so on the timing of his release with not many months until the game came to an end.
He will have a 99-rated card and has incredible stats in almost every area other than defending, which means he will be incredible to use if you manage to get your hands on him!
