Here are our top 10 skill moves to improve your FIFA gameplay.

Waka-Waka (5 Star Skill Move)

To perform the Waka-Waka when facing ↑

• Rotate right stick 180 degrees in the direction you want to go 
• Flick left stick left or right 

The Waka-Waka is such an effective and pleasing skill move to pull off but due to this will require a lot of practice. We’d recommend perfecting this one in the practice arena before taking into online games.  

Stepovers (2 Star Skill Move)

To perform the Stepover when facing ↑

• Rotate right stick 180 degrees 
• Flick left stick in the direction you want to exit

With this being a 2 star skill almost every player can complete it meaning it’s useful all over the pitch. It’s super easy to pull off and great at changing direction to confuse the defender. 

Drag to Drag (4 Star Skill Move)

To perform the Drag to Drag when facing ↑

• Hold L2/LT and press Square then X on Playstation or X then A on Xbox
• Must be done whilst jogging

The easiest way to perform this skill move is by performing a fake shot whilst holding L2/LT!

Open Up Fake Shot (1 Star Skill Move)

To perform the Open Up Fake Shot when facing ↑

• Hold L1/LB and press Square then X on Playstation or X then A on Xbox

Be sure to use this skill when the defender is closing in on you as it will likely force them to commit to a block or tackle which then opens up more space for you. 

Double Touch Spin (4 Star Skill Move)

To perform the Double Touch Spin when facing ↑

• Flick right stick to the left
• Then flick left stick to bottom right

This is a great skill move to use when needing to change direction and break away from the defenders, just make sure to leave enough space to perform!

In Air Elastico (5 Star Skill Move) 

To perform the In Air Elastico when facing ↑

• Hold L2/LT then double tap R1/RB
• Then flick right stick left then right

This move does take a few seconds to complete so isn’t one to be used with multiple defenders around you but looks super clean when pulled off. 

Bolasie Flick (5 Star Skill Move) 

To perform the Bolasie Flick when facing ↑

• Hold R1/RB then the right stick either left or right

The Bolasie Flick is a move that can set your attacker up for the perfect volley or cutting in down the line to beat a man when blocked off. 

Heel to Heel (3 Star Skill Move)

To perform the Heel to Heel when facing ↑

• Hold L2/LT then Square and X on PlayStation or X then A on Xbox

The Heel to Heel is not only a great way to give yourself the extra yard over defenders but also as a way to beat the goalkeeper in a 1v1 scenario.

Keep Up Sombrero (5 Star Skill Move) 

To perform the Keep Up Sombrero when facing ↑

• Hold L2/LT and double tap R1/RB
• Then flick left stick in the opposite direction to the player

Not only does this skill move look really good when pulled off but it’s also a really effective way to win a penalty against the goalkeeper if you have your back to goal.

Heel Fake (5 Star Skill Move) 

To perform the Heel Fake when facing ↑

• Hold L2/LT then flick left stick left then right

Just like the Keep Up Sombrero this is a great skill move to use to embarrass the goalkeeper and give yourself an open goal.
