We present you the new special moves as well as the well-tried basic skill moves in FIFA 22. With these moves you will make your opponents look old!
For several years we have been preaching to you on redbull.com: Make sure you learn skill moves in FIFA! In FIFA 22 we repeat this sermon. To play FIFA successfully, there is no way around special moves anymore. If you are one of those who think that executing skill moves is too difficult, we would like to convince you of the opposite now. There are many basic skill moves that are easy to learn. But also the more difficult special moves can be mastered with some practice.
In FIFA 22 new skillmoves have been added again. In the following video we introduce you to the four new special moves and explain in which situations you can use them best. Following the video we explain you three well-tried basic skill moves, which are also recommended in FIFA 22. Last but not least we list all special moves that can be used in FIFA 22.
4 new skill moves in FIFA 22
3 well-tried basic skill moves
These three simple special moves can make all the difference in FIFA 22 – you should definitely have them in your repertoire!
1. the drag back – two-star skill move
For years the drag back has been one of the most popular FIFA skill moves. And there are two good reasons for that: The execution is simple and you can eat up the opponent in some game situations.
Execution
To execute the Drag Back, first press R1/RB and at the same time pull the left stick backwards, starting from the running direction of your player. So if you run straight towards the right goal, press the left stick to the left, if you run towards the left goal, press the stick to the right.
This will first pull the ball back. Now comes the decisive move that makes the Drag Back so unpredictable and effective. You can execute the exit move of the drag back in any direction. This means that you can either keep the left stick pressed back, or you can press it to the right, left or front.
Application
The beauty of the Drag Back is that it makes sense to use it in many game situations. The different possible exit move directions make it difficult for your opponent to guess what exactly you intend to do with the Drag Back. To name just two examples of possible applications:
1. you are caught up in a sprint by a defender. If you use the Drag Back successfully, you let the defender run into nothing and create space for yourself again.
2. you play your striker in the penalty area. With the Drag Back you can let your opponent go and get into shooting position.
2. the Fake Shot – one star skill move
Often the Fake Shot is enough to make your opponent look old. Most of you know the classic shot deception, but the most important thing is the different versions.
Execution
Basically, you first press the shot/flank key and then the pass key to execute the shot deception. At the same time, you use the left stick to determine in which direction you move after the shot. This way you also decide whether you keep the speed or take it out with a complete change of direction, for example. It is also possible not to touch the left stick at all. In this case, you execute a shooting deception in the standing position. There is also a shot deception followed by a speed boost. How does that work? It’s simple: You press L1/LB in addition to the normal shot deception. So if you want to execute a shot deception, for example, diagonally to the right or left and want to gain speed, definitely use the L1/LB key. If you get past your opponent with it, it will be extremely difficult for him to catch up with you again.
Application
The Fake Shot helps you in numerous situations. For example, you can use the fake shot to get into promising finishing positions in the penalty area and around the sixteen. With the Fake Shot into the stand you can break off running duels with your opponents. If the opponent continues to run, you have space again for a short time and you get the opportunity to create new game situations. The shot deception with tempo boost is especially useful on the outer lanes, when you need additional speed for sprints with your wingers.
3. the ball roll – two-star skill move
The ball roll is another useful special move that is extremely simple to execute.
Execution
All you need for the ball roll is the right stick. You press the stick in the direction in which you want to execute the ball roll. Example: If you are running straight towards the right goal and you want to execute a ball roll to the right, press the right stick to the right. Important: In order for the ball roll to work, you have to keep the stick pressed in the respective direction for a short time. The longer you press the stick in this direction, the more ball rolls your player will perform.
Application
For optimal use of the ball roll, it is especially important to choose the right time. Example: You are running forward with your player and an opponent is running towards you. You anticipate that your opponent will tackle you to take the ball from you. Just before the tackle, the ball roll comes into play. With the ball roll you avoid the duel and let the opponent tackle into space. Without much effort you will pass your opponent and get a bit closer to the opponent’s goal. But as I said, it depends on the timing. If you use the ball roll too early or too late, it won’t bring the expected added value and in the worst case your opponent will take the ball from you.
If you’ve never used these three skill moves before and are only now integrating them into your game, you’ll quickly notice that you’ll get better results in FIFA 22. With the Drag Back, the Fake Shot and the Ball Roll your game will become more creative and unpredictable. Your opponents will be happy…
