Ever been chillin’, playing some EA Sports FC 24, and you see someone pull off this sick move where the ball just whooshes over the head of the defender? Yeah, that’s the Rainbow Flick. And guess what? Today, we’re diving deep into this move, and by the end of this guide, you’ll be flexin’ on your friends with this signature trick…

What’s the Rainbow Flick, Anyway??

Alright, for those of y’all who’ve been living under a rock, the Rainbow Flick is like the soccer equivalent of a crossover in basketball, but way cooler. It’s where the player uses their foot to scoop the ball behind them, sending it flying over both their own head and the defender’s head. It’s flashy, it’s effective, and man, does it look sweet when done right.

And guess who’s the king of this move?? Yup – Neymar… Man ain’t just one of the soccer GOATs; he’s also the face of the Rainbow Flick in the gaming world. When you see Neymar on the field in FC 24, you know that Rainbow Flick is about to drop.

Getting Down to Business: How to Rainbow Flick

Before you start trying to show off with the Rainbow Flick, you gotta check your player’s skill rating. This isn’t some basic move; it’s a 4-star trick! Make sure your player’s got the chops, alright??

For Console Gamers (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series X|S)

Basic Version: Quick flick the Right Stick down then double flick it up. Boom! Rainbow Flick action.

Advanced Version: Flick that Right Stick down then press and hold upwards and quickly flick it up once again.

For the PC Master Race

Basic Version: Tap Numpad 2, then double-tap Numpad 8.

Advanced Version: Hit up Numpad 2, hold down Numpad 8 and then give Numpad 8 another quick tap.

When to Pop Off with the Rainbow Flick

Timing is everything. The Rainbow Flick is most dope in 1v1 situations. If a defender’s breathing down your neck, thinking they’re all that, just pull out the Rainbow Flick, send the ball flying over their clueless heads, and leave them in the dust. Pro tip: Once you’ve pulled off the move, don’t just stand there admiring your work – keep that momentum and speed on!

The Best Spot to Show Off

The sweet spot for pulling off this killer move is just outside the box. And for the extra flair, try chaining it with a Scorpion Kick right after. Just hit L2 + Circle or LT + B on your controller, but make sure you’ve got some breathing room…
