FIFA 22 Skill Moves guide: Best skills to learn, five-star skillers

If you want to style on your opponents, then you best learn the FIFA 22 skill moves. There are a few new ones this year to try, and we’ve got a list on how to pull them all off, the best ones you should add to your game, and some five-star skillers you should buy.

Skill moves are an integral part of FIFA 22 ⁠— if you want to get consistent attacks off, you will need a repertoire of them to use to get past defenders.

While the (somewhat) slower pace of the game puts less of an emphasis on them, when you’re stuck in the box, a quick flick of the stick could get you into space.

Here’s all you need to know about skill moves in FIFA 22, including all the commands, the best ones you need to learn, and the five-star skillers that can do it all.

Use five-star skill moves with stars like Riyad Mahrez to get ahead of the game in FIFA 22.

All new skills moves in FIFA 22

Four skill moves have been added in FIFA 22. They are all pretty advanced, coming in at four and five-star, but most of them will definitely become staples in the meta (especially the Skilled Bridge and Scoop Turn Fake).

Skilled Bridge (4-star): Hold L2/LT + Double Tap R1/RB
Four Touch Turn (4-star): Hold L2/LT + Flick RS Back + Flick RS Back
Scoop Turn Fake (4-star): Hold LS in the opposite direction after doing a forward Scoop Turn
First Time Spin (5-star): Hold L1/LB + R1/RB as the ball comes towards the player first time

The thing with skill moves in FIFA 22 is — for the most part — the direction corresponds to the way your player is facing. Be sure to be mindful of this when inputting your controls, and if you’re not sure, practice!

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. The La Croqueta is still one of the best moves at opening up space in front of goal, even if the cancel has been removed. The Bridge is 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. The Skilled Bridge is a step-up on a regular Bridge, while the Scoop Turn Fake will have you breaking ankles. The First Time Spin is 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 the Elastico and Rainbow 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.

Neymar is one of around 75 five-star skillers in FIFA 22.

Top five-star skillers in FIFA 22
