Ball Roll

The classic skill, the ball roll is very effective, and it opens the space for a pass or a shot. It is used consistently by pro players. To do it you need to flick and hold the right stick to the right or left of the player.

Elastico

Next up is the elastico or reverse elastico. It can be used with players with 5-star skills. To be performed you need to do a half spin with the right stick in a reverse direction to the player, or in counter direction for the reverse elastico. It is efficient everywhere throughout the pitch.

A really good skill is the step over which is a very good skill to do. It is done by moving the right stick to the front and then to the right of the player. It is very important to get the speed boost after the step over.

Agile Dribbling

Finally, we have agile dribbling. It is good when you use a small agile player, and when you are being pressed by the opponent. It creates time and angle to get rid of the ball. Use a press and hold R1 or RB and move the left stick to the back left or right on the controller.
