There’s nothing wrong with sticking to the basics. But if you want to take your FIFA 21 skills to the next level, there’s no better way to do it than to incorporate some of the game’s many skill moves into your playstyle, including the new dribbling and positioning features.
Some of them are more complicated to do than others, and you’ll need a FIFA 21 player with a high enough skill rating to do them at all. Still, there’s something useful for every scenario, even in the one-star and two-star tiers. Pick what works best for you and practice it until it becomes second nature.
