EA Sports are making a fair amount of changes to the gameplay in FIFA 19 means that ankles will be broken, as well as controllers.
YouTuber 'DTT' has produced a video on how to break ankles on the upcoming game, in what is a new addition to the FIFA Series.
No, an ankle break isn't a crunching Sunday League title, it's the act of sending your opponent right down the floor courtesy of a swift change of direction. Lionel Messi, Neymar and Eden Hazard are the absolute masters.
On FIFA 19, you too can do it - leaving defenders eating the turf and dribbling away from them. DTT makes a point of saying how on PES the players fully fall to the deck, whereas it's a bit less humiliating on FIFA but still a very cool animation nonetheless.

Basically to break your opponents' ankles, you need to perform a fake shot while running. Easy enough, right? In addition to that, you also have to make sure that your player goes in the opposite direction, so you fool the opposition player.
It's not going to happen on every single occasion and might only occur once per game, but it will prove pretty effective and entertaining when it does. On wet and slippery surfaces is when you'll find most joy, it seems.
MattHDGamer, another FIFA YouTuber, had some hands on time with the beta version of the game and has picked up on the nifty speed boost that looks to be deadly if you pull it off - but will send you completely raging mad if you're defending against it.
Talking us through the genius move if you're on Xbox One, Matt says it's as simple as holding LB, pressing B then A in quick succession before moving the left stick in whichever direction you wish to go in.

If PlayStation 4 is your console of choice, hold L1, press circle and square and finish off with the movement of the left analog stick.
It seems to work with any fast player on FIFA, ie Sadio Mane or Leroy Sane, but the key is making sure there's enough space between the opposition player.
