Andres Iniesta will still be in FIFA 19 because EA Sports have the licenses to teams in the J-League, but the difference this year is that the silky Spaniard will finally be able to perform his trademark 'La Croqueta' skill.

Although it may be one of the more simple skill moves, it's so easy on the eye when Iniesta pulls it off with such grace. Now, FIFA players will be able to replicate it with him, along with other players depending on their skill level.

We've seen a similar skill move in previous games but not the proper 'La Croqueta' as we know it. It's all change this year though, with a video of the trick in action doing the rounds.

Iniesta's compatriot David Silva pulls it off beautifully, because of course he does, while Antoine Griezmann sends the goalkeeper to the shops when he deftly flicks it from one foot to the other when one-on-one.

In his tutorial video, popular FIFA YouTuber Kazooie94 says this 'lane change' skill can be performed with four-star skillers.


On Xbox, you simply hold LB and hold the right stick left or right. Then if you're a PlayStation kind of person, hold L1 and hold the right stick in the direction you want to go into.

I'm sure you'll agree that when you get the timing bang on, it looks so slick and can be used in so many different situations and areas - from running down the left flank, to baring down on the goalkeeper after being played through.

There's no footage of the master, Iniesta, perfecting his very own maneuver just yet but you better believe I'll be playing as Vissel Kobe just to bits with 'Don Andres'.
