The topic of skill moves is omnipresent among FIFA players. In order to reach the next level as a player, it is indispensable to integrate one or the other special move into your game. Especially in the Ultimate Team mode, more precisely in the Weekend League, it is almost impossible to win many matches without skill moves. But that's what it's all about, victories.

The Drag Back, a two-star skill move

Due to its simplicity and effectiveness, the drag back is one of the most popular skill moves ever. To perform it, press the R1/RB button and simultaneously drag the left analog stick in the opposite direction of the running direction of the player with the ball. So if you run towards the right goal, you press the left stick to the left. This will cause the player to pull the ball back.

After pulling the ball back comes the crucial part. You can execute the exit move of the drag back in any direction. You have the choice of keeping the left stick pressed back or then moving it forward, left or right. It's this flexibility that makes the special move so effective and unpredictable. The opponent can't guess in which direction it will continue.

The Fake Shot, a one-star skill move

Almost everyone has tried the fake shot, the classic shot illusion. The most important thing about it is the different ways of executing it. The application is one of the simplest that FIFA 22 has to offer. First of all, you press the shot or cross button and then press the pass button. With the left stick you determine in which direction you move afterwards.

For a standing shot, you simply don't touch the left analog stick at all. There is also a fake shot with a subsequent speed boost. For this, you also press the L1/LB key when executing the fake shot. If you manage to get past your opponent with the speed boost, it will be extremely difficult for him to catch up with you again.

The ball roll, a two-star skill move

The execution of the ball roll is simple. All you have to do is press the right analog stick in the desired direction. For example, if you're running towards the left goal and want to perform a ball roll to the left, press the right stick to the left. Remember, to perform a ball roll, you must hold the stick down for a short time. The longer you hold it down, the more ball rolls you will perform.

Timing is the most important thing when using the ball roll to get the most out of it. If an enemy player tries to take the ball from you, you can use the ball roll to let him run into nothing. However, it won't do you any good if you see the tackle coming but execute the skill move too early or too late. If that happens, the opponent will almost certainly take the ball from you.
