There’s nothing better than humiliating your opponent in a game of FIFA with a sequence of silky skills and flicks. FIFA 22 sees more skill moves for you to try than ever before including four brand-new never seen before skills. This guide provides you everything you need to know about skilling in FIFA 22

New Skill Moves in FIFA 22

EA Sports have added four new skill moves to include in your repertoire this year. All of these require the player to have at least four-star skills moves so make sure you’re only trying them with the most skillful players on the pitch.

All tips for PlayStation and Xbox controllers

Scoop Turn Fake

The classic Scoop Turn has been in FIFA for many a year, but this year includes a new fake variant of it.

To complete the new Scoop Turn Fake tap shoot then pass (fake shot), then hold LS in the opposite direction after doing a forward Scoop Turn.

Four-Touch Turn

The new Four-Touch Turn is a quick spin on the spot to get you out of danger.

All that’s needed for the Four-Touch Turn is to hold L2/LT down while flicking back on the right stick twice from the direction you’re facing.

Skilled Bridge

The original bridge only needs a one-star skiller but this new version throws in a fancy flick to help you burst around your opponent.

With a four-star skiller hold down L2/LT and double tap R1/RT to perform this skill.

First-Time Spin

This new skill is only for players that have the full five-star skill moves. When the ball is played into their feet, they complete a 360 spin on the spot, which can evade onrushing defenders.

As a five-star skiller receives the ball simply hold down L1+R1/LT+RT to complete this skill.
