The best FIFA 22 skill moves to learn

When it comes down to it, if you want to become the best at FIFA 22, you’ll need to incorporate some skill moves into your play. There’s some great picks from past generations that you should look at learning. TheLa Croquetais still one of the best moves at opening up space in front of goal, even if the cancel has been removed. TheBridgeis also great, giving you a burst of acceleration to get around defenders.

However, all of the new skill moves are great weapons to add into your arsenal. TheSkilled Bridgeis a step-up on a regular Bridge, while theScoop Turn Fakewill have you breaking ankles. TheFirst Time Spinis dead simple to learn too, and can help distract defenders when you get the ball at your feet. Finally, if you want to really style on your opponents, learn theElasticoandRainbow Flick⁠— it’s quite possibly the most BM (but still effective) way of getting past defenders. The best way to learn these skill moves is by taking them into the Practice Arena and getting a feel for them before incorporating them into your game.
