Welcome all players! The Team of the Season event in EA FC 24 has started for a few days! To help you stand out in the Weekend League and receive amazing rewards, I'm going to give you the 5 best skill moves you should definitely try this time around. Let's dive in!

1. Ball Roll

First of all, let's start with the Ball Roll. This skill move hasn't changed since the FIFA 12, and it remains incredibly effective. It's versatile, usable everywhere on the pitch, and the best part is that you can execute it with players from 2-star skill moves onwards.

The mechanics of the Ball Roll are simple: while moving your player upwards with the Left Stick, just hold your Right Stick to the right or left side. It's arguably the easiest skill move to perform, yet one of the most efficient ones.

If you haven't mastered the Ball Roll yet, I highly recommend heading into the Practice Arena. It will take you only a couple of minutes to get the hang of it, and once you do, you'll understand its effectiveness. The Ball Roll can be used to evade opponents, create space for a pass or a shot, and overall, it's excellent for generating angles and space on the pitch.

2. Elastico

Next up, we have the Elasticos, both the regular and Reverse ones. The way you perform them is actually the opposite. For example, the normal Elastico, you perform it by going with your Right Stick from the right to the left, and the Reverse Elastico is the other way around. If you're walking to the left side, you have to go from down to up for a reverse, and the other way for a normal Elastico.

The Elasticos are insane, and if you're skilled, use them with an L1 button. So, if you're inside the box of your opponent, press L1, and then your player will stand still, and then the momentum for the skill move is even better, so execution will be even quicker. These skill moves are good to create an angle to get a shot off inside the box.

3. Flair Nutmeg

Moving on, the next skill move is the Flair Nutmeg, and it is also easy to perform. All you need to do is hold L1 and R1, then flick your Right Stick to the left or to the right. You could also use it as a normal skill move to create an angle for a shot, but the Flair Nutmeg Pass is even better and just undefendable when you time it right.

4. McGeady

Lastly, let's discuss the McGeady Spin. This skill move is a bit more challenging, likely one of the hardest ones to master, but it's incredibly powerful when executed correctly. Firstly, it's crucial to understand how to perform a McGeady, which requires a player with 5-star skill moves. Once you have the proper FC 24 Player, flick your Right Stick up and to the left or right, depending on your desired direction.

Now, let's talk about the McGeady Cancel skill move. The technique is similar. Just initiate the McGeady by flicking the stick up and right in between. Then, simultaneously press L2 and R2. Next, move your Left Stick down left or right to cancel the move.

5. Stepovers

Next, let's discuss Stepovers, which is arguably the best skill move and quite straightforward to execute. To perform it, simply move your Right Stick from up to the right or up to the left, approximately 25% of the stick's range, depending on your intended direction. You can perform the Stepovers in both directions, allowing for versatility in your movements.

This skill move is highly effective, providing a significant speed boost that can be utilized by Fullbacks to create space inside the box. It's an excellent tactic to evade Defenders and create scoring opportunities. In fact, it's so effective that 9 times out of 10, you'll outpace the Defender.

Therefore, if you're looking to master a single skill move, the Stepovers are the way to go. With practice, they can lead to numerous goals and pose a considerable challenge for your opponents.

There are some skill moves that you need to master if you want to play as pro players in EA FC 24. Skill moves stand as one of the most effective methods to outmaneuver defenders in FC 24. However, many players struggle to discern which skill moves are optimal for each situation. Let’s delve into the essential tips of skill moves you need to master.

Before practice these skill moves, you can boost your players performance by investing some EA FC 24 Coins.

Stepover Straight

First off, we have the Stepover Straight. That is only possible by knowing the exit direction of each skill move. Stepover Straight’s exit direction is always in front of us. It is always straight like this because it is called a Stepover Straight. So we go from 3 to 12 in an anticlockwise direction while pointing the left stick straight in front of our player.

So whenever if there have space in front of you, you can use the Stepover Straight because this game is all about finding space and exploiting it. If there is space, I will do the Stepover Straight because it will always exit in front of my player. That is the basic thing you need to keep in mind - the exit direction.

Flair Nutmeg

Then, I want to talk about the Flair Nutmeg. It is best used on the Wings. It is one of the best skill moves to use on the wings. Once again, it is the exit direction. If I want to exit towards the right quickly while I’m facing straight and I want to bait my opponent if he’s a good opponent, I would do a Flair Nutmeg pass.

When you do a Flair Nutmeg and you cancel it with the pass, you opponant may think that you might go straight, but then you pass. It is all about having that element of surprise. But like I said, the first thing is knowing the exit direction of the skill move, combined with knowing where the space is, actually takes your game to the next level.

Ball Roll

Next, let’s talk about the Ball Roll. It shifts the ball from left to right, right to left, and it is great for creating space and angles. The best thing about the Ball Roll is that we use it to create angles. You should always pass the ball in the direction that you are facing.

We need to remember the exit direction. If we go right, it will exit towards the right side. If we go left, it will exit towards the left. So whenever we have space either left or right, depending on the space, we will perform the Ball Roll.

The Ball Roll allows me to change direction quickly without compromising on passing accuracy. Remember that you always have to pass the ball in the direction you are facing, and the Ball Roll allows us to do that.

Reverse Elastico

The last skill move I want to talk about is the Reverse Elastico. When we are inside the box, we have to determine if the space is towards the right or left. If the space is towards the inside, you can perform a Reverse Elastico. The Reverse Elastico will always exit towards the inside of the player. It will go like this towards the inside.

If you wanted to exploit the space on the outside of your player, you can do an Elastico because an Elastico simply exits towards the outside, whereas a Reverse Elastico exits towards the inside of the player.

Final Thought

Skill moves are simple, but we make it overcomplicated by thinking they are very hard. These skill moves are all you need. If it is confusing, just pay attention. By knowing the exit directions of each skill move, we are able to perform them in-game fluently. Once you take this guide seriously and apply these concepts in EA FC 24, you will take your attack to the next level.
