Arsenal Legends Game — Henry, Bergkamp, Vieira
Arsenal’s legends define eras. The Invincibles. The Wenger years. The clinical brilliance of George Graham’s defense. On Vikto, you can draft them — Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira, Tony Adams, Ashley Cole, Robert Pirès — and find out whose Arsenal squad really holds up against another fan’s vision of the Gunners.
Pick your team. Bid blind. Build the team Highbury and the Emirates would both be proud of.
The Arsenal icons
Vikto’s Icon designation honors the legends who transcended Arsenal itself — the players who would make any all-time Premier League XI, not just a club one. Icons receive a +5 base score boost and a distinctive gold treatment in every match.
Arsenal’s Icons:
- Thierry Henry — 95 — 228 goals in 377 games. Two Premier League titles. The Invincibles’ talisman. The greatest Arsenal player ever, full stop. From the chip vs Manchester United to the curl past every keeper in England, he turned the Premier League into his personal stage.
- Tony Adams — 93 — Mr. Arsenal. 19 years at the club. Four league titles across three different decades — under Graham, then Wenger. The captain who led the back four that defined English defending in the 1990s.

Vote for next Icon
Vikto’s Icon designation isn’t ours to decide alone — it belongs to the community. Anyone can vote, anonymously, on which Arsenal legend deserves promotion to Icon status. The legends pulling the most votes are surfaced as Icon candidates for the game.
Should Dennis Bergkamp be the next Icon? Most fans would say yes — and that’s exactly the kind of vote the community runs.
How the game works
Pick Arsenal in your match. Six legends from the 36 above are drawn at random — you’ll see them up front. You and your opponent each have $250M to spread across the six cards.
Bids are blind. You can’t see your opponent’s offer until both are locked in. Highest wins the legend. Spending too much on Henry in round one means you’ll have nothing left when Bergkamp shows up next.
After three legends each (one attacker, one midfielder, one defender), the duels resolve the match. The hidden Era Boost means even an 84-rated Liam Brady can outscore a 90-rated Vieira on the day. Best of three wins.

Frequently asked questions
Why isn’t Bukayo Saka in the game yet?
Saka’s career is still being written. Vikto adds active players to club rosters once they’ve established a defining body of work at the club. Ødegaard is in because his contribution to Arsenal’s modern resurgence is now established.
Where’s Ian Wright’s Icon status?
Ian Wright is a top contender. The vote at the bottom of this page is the place to make his case — anonymous and always open.
How does the Arsenal roster compare to other clubs?
Each club has 36 legends — 12 per position. Arsenal’s roster spans from the 1930s (David Jack) through to current players like Ødegaard, with peak depth in the Wenger Invincibles era.
Can I build an all-Invincibles team?
With six random cards per match, you can’t guarantee an all-Invincibles draw — but you can absolutely build a 2003/04 attacking trio if the right cards appear. Henry + Pirès + Cole is the dream combo.
Are women’s Arsenal legends coming?
Adding women’s football rosters is on the community shortlist. The legend vote at the bottom of this page is the place to signal which clubs and federations should be added next.
