EA Sports FC 24: How to Do a Sombrero Flick

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, EA Sports FC 24 / 01 Apr 2023

Yo, what’s good, EA FC squad? You ever watch those ballers on the pitch just casually flicking the ball over defenders and making them look like they’re chasing ghosts? That’s the Sombrero Flick for you. It’s that saucy move you’ve probably seen Neymar, Ronaldinho, and other elite playmakers pull off effortlessly. Now, if you’re sitting there thinking, Man, I wanna pull that off in FC 24!! – well, you’re in the right place…

Sombrero Flick: What’s the Hype??

The Sombrero Flick is all about style and flair. Named after the Mexican hat due to its high arching motion, this move is all about lifting the ball over your opponent (like a hat going over someone’s head).

Tons of top-tier players, both OGs and the new school, have been flexin’ with this skill move to either dodge a defender or just straight-up showboat. We’re talking legends like Ronaldinho, Neymar, and CR7 — yeah you know who I’m talkin’ about. These guys have busted out this slick move when the lights are brightest showing it ain’t just for the ‘Gram; it’s a real-deal game-changer…

The How-To

The Controls

Player Requirements: Not every player can pull this off. You gotta have someone with a 5-star skill rating. So, think twice before trying it with your big center-back.

Now, to break it down: when you’re in-game, flick that right joystick forwards twice (like pushing it to 12 o’clock) in the direction your player’s looking. Then give it a swift flick back (that’s 6 o’clock, fam). If you do it right, your player will flick that ball right over their noggin…

Best Time to Use It

The golden spot to pull this off is near the edge of the 18-yard box. Why?? Well, usually there’s a defender creeping up on you like some kinda soccer ninja, thinking he’s gonna steal that ball. This is when you bust out the Sombrero Flick. Flick it over his head and watch him get left in the dust as you set yourself up for an epic volley. Talk about a Kodak moment!
