You ever watch those elite keepers like Manuel Neuer or Alisson Becker?? They’ve got that fake throw down pat. It’s all about the finesse – make it look legit, then switch it up last minute. Gets in your opponent’s head, opens up the field.

Pro Tips for Perfecting Your Fake Throw

Wait for the Right Moment: While the fake throw is a cool move, it’s not something you want to overdo. Use it strategically, like when you’re closer to the box. This gives your opponent less time to react & increases your chances of catching them off guard.

Keep It Fresh: Don’t use the fake throw every time you have the ball. If you’re too predictable, your opponent will catch on. Use it two to three times per match at most…

Boost Your Stats: Your throw game gets better with the kicking attribute and that long throw trait. Work on those.
