EA Sports FC 24: How to Execute the Antony Spin

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, EA Sports FC 24 / 22 May 2023

What Even Is the Antony Spin?

For those living under a rock, Antony Matheus dos Santos, AKA Antony, is that Brazilian beast who rocks the Premier League playing for Manchester United. Born in the 2000s (yeah, feeling old yet?), this dude burst outta São Paulo and quickly became the talk of the football world. He bossed it at Ajax and then made the big move to the Red Devils for a whopping £82 mil. Not just that, he’s repped Brazil on the international stage like a true OG. But why’s this spin named after him? ‘Cause he made it iconic!! This flashy move became his signature while killin’ it in the Netherlands, and now, it’s yours to master in FC 24.

Alright, So How Do I Pull Off the Antony Spin in FC 24?

Prerequisites:

Before anything, make sure your player’s got that five-star skill rating. Antony’s got it, of course, but there are other legends out there with the moves.

Steps:

Catch that Pass:

First things first, you can’t just pop the Antony Spin whenever you feel like it. You need to get that ball passed to ya. Standing over the ball like a statue won’t cut it.

Combo Time:

As you’re about to receive that pass, hit those shoulder buttons at the same time:

PlayStation Squad: R1 + L1

Xbox Crew: RB + LB

Behold the Spin:

If you timed it right, your player will hit that spin – smooth as butter. And just like that, you’ve executed the Antony Spin! Now, whether or not it confuses your opponent… well, that’s on them. But, hey, style points count, right?

Like all flashy things in life, the Antony Spin’s got its haters. Some folks call it showboating, others just don’t get the artistry. But hey, if football (or soccer, for my US peeps) is an art, then the Antony Spin is like that wild brushstroke that makes a painting pop.

Whether you’re into it for the swag, the strategy, or just to flex on your opponents, the Antony Spin is the tool you wanna have in your FC 24 toolkit…
