EA Sports FC 24: How to Do the La Croqueta

What’s the La Croqueta? And Who Made it Lit?

La Croqueta isn’t just some random name someone threw out there. Nah, fam, this move is legendary. The literal translation is “The Little Croquette,” which might sound like something you’d munch on, but in soccer (or football for our international peeps), it’s a mouthwatering move that’ll leave defenders snackin’ on grass.

The main dude behind this madness? None other than the Spanish maestro Andrés Iniesta… My guy was out here breaking ankles, turning defenders into traffic cones with this one simple yet effective move. Every time he pulled this off at Barcelona you could hear the oohs and aahs in the stands… It’s no wonder it’s become such a sensation in FIFA games and now in EA Sports FC…

How to Execute the La Croqueta in FC 24

Alright, you’re hyped and wanna get down to business. So here’s how to bring that La Croqueta heat in FC 24.

Requirements

You’ve gotta be controlling a player who’s got at least a 4-star skill rating. No exceptions…

How to Do It on Different Platforms

PS4/PS5: Hold down that L1 button & then flick the right analog stick left or right, depending on where you wanna go.

Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S: It’s LB + right analog stick left or right for you Xbox warriors.

Nintendo Switch: If you’re Switchin’ it up, hold L and move the right stick left or right.

Tips

Where and When to Use It: Best believe, this move shines when you’re charging down the wing and looking to cut inside the box. Hit that La Croqueta at an angle, and watch as you open up mad space for your next move.

Don’t Sleep on the Details: The La Croqueta is kinda similar to the heel-to-heel flick. But here’s where they part ways: the La Croqueta keeps that ball snuggled up close, giving you better control for whatever comes next—be it a pass, a shot, or some more dribble action…

Speed Kills: One of the raddest parts about the La Croqueta is how quick it is. It’ll get you by defenders before they even know what hit ’em, especially in the penalty box.

Defensive Dodging: This move is clutch for keeping the ball away from nosy defenders. It doesn’t just help you advance; it makes you hard to catch, too.

Don’t Get Predictable: Yeah, the La Croqueta is dope, but if you overuse it, defenders will catch on. Mix it up with other moves to keep ’em guessing.
