Hey EA FC and Soccer Fans!! Ever wanted to put some slick moves on your opponent so bad they don’t know what hit ’em? Look no further, ’cause today, we’re diving deep into the legendary Elastico move in EA Sports FC 24. This guide will have you faking out defenders like a pro in no time.

What the Heck is the Elastico??

First thing’s first. Let’s chat about what the Elastico is all about. This ain’t just your run-of-the-mill move; this is pure soccer artistry. It’s that slick move where the player deceives a defender by pushing the ball in one direction and quickly snapping it back the other way. Kinda like breaking ankles in basketball, but soccer style.

The legend Ronaldinho? Dude ate, slept, and breathed the Elastico. It’s like the move was an extension of him. He made defenders look silly with it. Nowadays, beasts like Kylian Mbappe, Neymar Jr. and Cristiano Ronaldo have taken the torch and made the Elastico their own… If you’re lookin’ to style on your opponents in FC 24, you gotta get this move down.

Types of Elastico and How to Execute ‘Em in FC 24

Alright now to the meat and potatoes. There are several types of Elastico moves you can perform in FC 24, and here’s how you pull each of ’em off:

You’ve gotta have a five-star skill player to make these moves work.

Regular Elastico

Xbox: Whirl that Right Stick from right to left, going clockwise.

PlayStation: Same deal, rotate the Right Stick clockwise from right to left.

Use this when you’re about to enter the box, and you wanna confuse the defender in front of you.

Reverse Elastico

Xbox: Now go anti-clockwise with the Right Stick from left to right.

PlayStation: You got it—rotate anti-clockwise from left to right.

Great for when you’ve done the regular Elastico a few times and wanna keep that defender guessing.

In Air Elastico

Xbox: Flick that Right Stick to the right and then left.

PlayStation: Same, flick the Right Stick right and then back to the left.

Use this when you’re running down the wing and want to cut inside real quick.

Reverse In Air Elastico

Xbox: Flip the Right Stick from left to right this time.

PlayStation: Same, flick it left then back to the right.

Good for switching things up and keeping the defense on their toes.

Triple Elastico

Xbox: Start by nudging that Right Stick from the bottom left, slide it up to the right and then go ham with a full spin from the right back around to the left.

PlayStation: Same drill, chief. Tiny nudge from the bottom left to the right on the Right Stick, then whip it from right back to left.

Hocus Pocus

Xbox: This one’s a doozy. Start by giving the Right Stick a quarter roll from the right to the left then hit ’em with a bigger spin from the left back to the right..

PlayStation: Reverse vibes here. Begin with a quarter spin on the Right Stick from left to right then flex with a larger spin from right back to left.

Elastico Chop (Right)

Xbox: Hold that RB button tight and while you’re doing that, make the Right Stick go anti-clockwise from the left over to the right.

PlayStation: Same energy. Hold down R1 and rotate the Right Stick anti-clockwise, start from the left, finish on the right.

Elastico Chop (Left)

Xbox: This time, keep RB pressed. Spin the Right Stick, but do it clockwise starting from the right and ending on the left.

PlayStation: With R1 held down, twirl that Right Stick clockwise; start on the right, finish up on the left…
