The skill move was introduced back in the days when the game was known as FIFA 20. We have this overpowered skill move in EA FC 24 which no one is talking about. It’s a 4 star rated skill move. Your player drags the ball like he’s turning in the opposite direction, then he again drags it to the previous direction where he has been moving to. So if you have enough FC 24 Coins to buy players who can use this skill move, let’s just jump into the guide.

How To Perform?

To perform this simple, overpowered skill move, you need a 4 star rated player. You hold the L2/LT, then immediately you perform the Fake Shot where you first press Circle and quickly press X or B and quickly press A. If your player, for example, Messi, is facing in this direction when you perform this skill move, he will drag the ball to the opposite direction, then drag it back to the direction he was moving to first. This only happens if you don’t touch the left analog, and it's the basic way to use it.

Another way, when you perform the skill move, is to immediately point the left analog to the direction you want this player to exit to. This is the creative and advanced way to use this skill move. Both ways are so effective.

Why Is It Effective?

The reason why this skill is good is the quick change of direction. The skill is effective when you want to change direction, and right now it has that surprise effect because fewer players still recall it, and no one expects you to perform it.

Effective Ways To Use It

Beat That Defender

The first way is to beat that defender. This skill move works best against aggressive defending. I usually use the advanced way to beat Defenders and exit away. Surprise effect is a game-changer.

Open Up Spaces

Another way is to open up spaces. The way how this skill move works, your player remains standstill but still moves the ball, and that effect confuses the opponent because he expects you to either remain standstill or dribble. For example, I pass the ball to my Midfielder, and he’s surrounded by 3 opponent Defenders. I control the ball safely. I try to dribble away from pressure to exploit the space and also see if I can pass to this player.

But the opponent is overcommitting to press and also blocking this pass. So, I use his aggression and beat this Defender with drag to drag, but still, I’m surrounded by 3 Defenders. But if I try to dribble into it, the opponent can still press my player. So, I again perform the skill move and it opens up this space in front. I perform the Step Over for a speed boost and drive forward.

Beat The Opponent's Press

Another way is to beat the opponent’s press. I like using this skill move when pressed by the opponent, especially in my half, which means I have 4 star skill rated players in my defense and midfield since this skill move works well against aggressive Defenders, and it also opens up space. Don’t underestimate the power of this skill move.

Cut Inside

Another way to use this move is to simply cut inside. This move, you don’t need hard skill moves like ball roll scoop turn. The skill move is so simple to perform, but it’s very useful to cut inside. You just perform it, point the left analog inside, as easy as that. It works well because on the wing, sometimes you get into those chase scenarios with the opponent's Fullbacks, and you know how effective this skill move is. If the opponent is overcommitting, perform it, beat that defender, and move inside.

Open Passing Lanes & Angles

The last way is to open passing lanes and angles. This is one of the best tricks you can use to open up passing lanes. The reason why it's so effective in this situation when that pass is not possible. When you perform the skill move, your player drags the ball to another angle, which opens up the passing lane. So, I also perform this skill move, which changes the passing angle and opens up the lane. I take the pass and get in behind, and that’s this overpowered skill move. You can practice it and try it yourself.
