How to Do a Trivela Shot in EA Sports FC 24

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, EA Sports FC 24 / 04 Mar 2023

First things first, let’s break down what the Trivela Shot is. In its essence the Trivela is a type of shot where you use the outside of your boot to curl the ball, usually into the far corner of the net. When executed properly, not only does it look super dope, but it’s also ridiculously effective. It’s the kinda move that’ll make your opponent’s jaw drop and have ’em smashing their controllers in frustration. Yeah it’s that good…

Who’s Been Ballin’ with the Trivela in Real Soccer?

Before we dive into FC 24, let’s give a shoutout to the real-world soccer gods who’ve been slaying with the Trivela. Talking ’bout legends like Roberto Carlos, Joao Cancelo, Neymar, and Ricardo Quaresma. These pros have made the Trivela their signature move, leaving goalkeepers & defenders scrambling and fans going wild. In the words of the legendary Roberto Carlos, they put a “swerve onto the ball that humans had no idea was possible.”

How to Execute the Trivela Shot in FC 24

Requirements:

Player: Literally anyone. From your star striker to that clumsy defender, anyone can pull it off. But let’s keep it real; the higher the shooting stats, the better.

Traits: Having the “outside of the foot” trait is a major plus, but it ain’t a must-have.

Steps:

Positioning: You gotta get your player into an unorthodox spot where they’d usually use their weaker foot. The more awkward the angle, the more swag your Trivela will have.

Controller Mechanics: Time to get those thumbs ready. On PS4/PS5, you’re gonna hold down L2 and hit Circle. For you Xbox peeps, it’s LT + B. And for the PC gamers, hold W and left-click.

Aiming: This ain’t no regular shot, fam. You’re gonna aim for the far post, the place where dreams (and goalkeepers) go to die.

Power Up: Load that power bar like you’re loading up on energy drinks for a gaming marathon. You’re going for the far top corner, so give it some oomph.

Release: Let that shot fly & watch as the ball bends like it’s defying the laws of physics.

Bonus – The Trivela Free Kick

Look, if you’ve got the guts to try this during a free kick, mad props. Here’s the rundown:

First off, pick a player with some muscle behind their shot.

Get ’em in a straight-standing position behind the ball. (Any other stance? Nah, won’t work.)

Aim outside the goal, keepin’ the target level with the bar. Power up to about three bars – but if you’re takin’ a shot from downtown (like 25-30 yards out), you can crank it up a bit more…

Now, the trick: Right when your player starts to make their move, use the right stick – pull it down, then swing it up counterclockwise. If your player’s a lefty, it’s down then counterclockwise up. Right-footed? Flip the script – down, then clockwise up.

Tips and Tricks

Don’t Sweat the Timing: Unlike some other shots you don’t need to time this bad boy perfectly. Just focus on power and aim, and let the Trivela do the rest.

Meta Alert: This move is more than just a gimmick; it’s currently dominating FC 24 matches, so get in on the action before everyone else figures it out…
