by Fernando Diaz / Articles, EA Sports FC 24 / 11 Jan 2023

Yo, all you FIFA heads out there! EA Sports FC 24 just landed, and trust me, it’s next-level. You tryna step up your gameplay, run the pitch like a boss, and make your homies sit up and take notes? Cool, cool. I’m here to break down some essential skill moves that’ll elevate your game. Get those controllers ready and let’s dive deep!

Ball Roll Drag

This one’s a fresh move in EA FC 24 and is a must-learn for our 4 Star Skill players out there.

For the PS peeps: Hold down L1, give the right stick a firm flick forward, then swiftly to the side.

Xbox crew: Same vibes, but you’re using LB.

When’s the best time to bust this out -> When you’re slicing your way inside the box, for sure.

Give this a whirl when you’re chilling on the box’s edge; defenders will have a hard time grabbing that ball.

Reverse Elastico

This classic from FIFA 23 is making a comeback, exclusively for the elite 5 Star Skillers.

Get this: Perform a fluid half-circle with your right stick, starting from the left side if you’re handling a right-footed player.

Your go-to moment? When you’re facing off one-on-one -> dominate that space!

This year’s version is speedier than the OG elastico, so use it to leave defenders in your dust.

Shot Cancel with Roulette

Super crafty, this one’s a showstopper and will have opponents second-guessing.

Start by setting up a shot, but here’s the twist: right before you take it, throw in a quick roulette.

Perfect for: Busting through tough defenses and catching those goalies off guard.

It’s a bit of a challenge… maybe start by mixing up a shot cancel with a simple ball roll before graduating to the roulette.

Ball Roll

It’s straightforward but oh-so effective. If you’re rocking at least 2 Star Skills, this one’s for you…

All you gotta do is hold the right stick either to the player’s left or right.

Ideal for: Making space, seeing those pass opportunities clearer.

Incorporate this a lot when you’re on the move; it’s foundational for dynamic gameplay.

Ball Roll Scoop Turn Combo

This is for those looking to really flex. It’s a killer combo that ties the Ball Roll with the Scoop Turn, but only the 5 Star Skill maestros can pull it off.

Here’s the play: Start with that smooth ball roll, then quickly execute a fake shot, guiding your player in the direction you wanna scoop turn.

When should you bust this out? When you’re looking to shift directions on a dime and leave those defenders scratching their heads.

You gotta vibe with this one and catch the flow; hit those practice sessions and once you nail it, it’s gonna flip the game on its head!

Body Feint

Simple in its elegance, but don’t sleep on it! Even if you’ve got just 2 Star Skills, this is a handy one.

Break it down: Give the right stick a quick flick, either left or right of your player.

Perfect scenario: When a defender’s coming at you hot and you wanna change direction like snap.

Keep this one in your pocket and use it to pivot quickly, especially when you see those defenders bearing down. Mix it up with step-overs to keep ’em guessing.

La Croqueta

With its fancy name and 4 Star Skill requirement, this move is all about flair and effectiveness.

The play-by-play: Hold down L1/LB and slide the right stick to your player’s left or right.

Best used: When you’re out on the wings and aiming to make a sleek cut inside the box.

Try a fake shot to halt your player entirely, then bust out La Croqueta to dodge those defenders with style.

Bonus: Heel to Ball Roll

Not making the top-tier list, but definitely worth a shout.

To nail it: Hold L1/LB, give the right stick a sharp flick forward, then flick it back.

Best moments to use: When you gotta change directions in a flash.

Word of caution: It might not have the same oomph as in FIFA 23, but with the right strategy, this move can still be pure gold.
