FC 25 Immortals Henry SBC Review:Is The 1.2 M Driven Shot+ King Worth It?

The 92-rated Thierry Henry Immortals SBC has arrived in EA Sports FC 25 Ultimate Team, sparking debates among players. Priced at roughly 1.2 million FUT 25 Coins in fodder, this SBC offers a unique version of the Arsenal legend—but is he worth the hefty cost, especially when a superior Team of the Year (TOTY) Henry already exists in-game?
With 4★ skill moves and 4★ weak feet, this Henry isn’t the most meta-breaking card on paper. However, his Driven Shot+ playstyle could be the game-changer for players who rely on low-driven finishes. Let’s break down whether this SBC is a must-do or a luxury for collectors. 

What Makes This Henry Special?

This Immortals Henry boasts strong base stats in key areas:  

• 95Finishing
• 92Pace
• 88 Shot Power
• 90 Positioning
• 86 Dribbling (but with 80 Balance and 84 Agility)  
• His Playstyles+ and Playstyles include:  
• Driven Shot+ (The standout trait)  
• Rapid+
• Technical
• First Touch
• Flare

However, the biggest downgrade from his TOTY version is the absence of Press Proven+, which hurts his dribbling under pressure. This makes him feel less responsive in tight spaces, pushing players to use Engine chemistry to compensate.  

Best Chemistry Styles for Immortals Henry  

Depending on your playstyle, two chem styles stand out:  

• Engine – Boosts Agility & Balance, improving left-stick dribbling and responsiveness. Perfect for quick turns and exploiting Driven Shot+.  
• Basic – Keeps him Lengthy while enhancing shooting, dribbling, and passing. Ideal for straight-line sprints and power shots.  
• Even on Basic, Henry remains Lengthy while benefiting from boosted finishing—making his Driven Shot+ incredibly reliable.  

In-Game Performance: Striker vs. Left Wing  

• Striker (Best Position): As a central striker (ST) in formations like 4-2-1-3, Henry thrives. His Advanced Forward+ playstyle ensures smart positioning, and Driven Shot+ lets him finish from tight angles.  
• Left Wing (Not Ideal): While he can play LW, his 4★ weak foot and lack of elite passing playstyles limit his effectiveness. Most success comes from cutting inside for first-touch driven shots—better suited for central roles.  

What You’ll Love

• Deadly Driven Shots– The Driven Shot+ playstyle turns half-chances into goals.  
• Elite Positioning –Advanced Forward+ ensures he’s always in scoring positions.  
• Unique Animations – Feels smoother than his stats suggest.  

What You Won’t Love

No Press Proven+ – Feels clunky under pressure.  
4★/4★ Only – Falls short compared to 5★ meta attackers.
Expensive SBC –1.2M fodder is steep for a downgraded TOTY version.  

How Driven Shot+ Saves This Card

The Driven Shot+ playstyle is the only reason this Henry remains viable. In the current meta, low-driven shots are overpowered, and Henry’s quick-release animation makes him lethal.  
80-85% of goals tested came from Driven Shots.
Without this playstyle, he’d be unusable at this stage of the game.

Should You Complete the SBC?

• Cost: ~1.2M fodder  
• Availability: 60 days  

Verdict

• Worth it if: You’re an Arsenal/Henry fan, love Driven Shot meta, or need a fun ST.  
• Skip if: You’re a competitive player saving for TOTS or want a 5★ weak foot attacker.
• Alternative? Try the loan version first or check out budget-friendly Evolutions like Tú Eres Mi Ídolo.

Conclusion

The 92 Immortals Thierry Henry SBC is a card of contradictions—luxury pricing for a slightly outdated meta profile, yet salvaged by one of the game’s most lethal playstyles. While his 1.2M fodder cost is hard to justify over his TOTY version (or future TOTS attackers), Driven Shot+ transforms him into a clinical finisher for those who master low-driven strikes. Arsenal faithful and players nostalgic for Henry’s animations will find joy here, but meta-focused competitors should save their resources. If in doubt, test the loan version first—because in FC 25’s ruthless power curve, even legends need to prove their worth.
