FC 27 SKILL MOVES
FC 27 skill moves refer to a player’s ability to outmaneuver their opponent.
Skill Moves List
In real-world football, professional players use special tricks to outmaneuver opponents, and you can replicate these moves in FC 27.
The game includes a variety of skill moves, grouped into five categories. Each player has a unique Skill Moves (SM) rating, which determines how many tricks they can perform. Only players with a 5-star skill rating can execute all available moves.
To successfully perform these skill moves, you need to know the correct button combinations. This page provides a complete guide to the controls for FC 27 skill moves on PlayStation, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (gamepad or keyboard).

With Simplified Skill Moves, players can perform a contextually appropriate skill with a simple flick of the right stick in any direction.
These moves can be enabled in the Accessibility menu or triggered during gameplay by flicking the right stick in any of the four cardinal directions. The type, speed, and accuracy of the move depend on the player’s skill star rating — higher stars mean faster execution and greater accuracy. For balance, however, these moves animate slower than standard skills, are harder to chain (maximum of three consecutive moves), and are slightly more prone to errors.

Stepovers are handy to keep in mind. As the game’s meta progresses, occasionally, using simpler inputs could catch your opponent off guard.
Heel Chop helps create space in the penalty area and confuses any defenders hoping to put in a block.
The best way to train and improve your skills is in the practice arena.
A good skill move to start with is the Body Feint. Rated as a 2-star trick, nearly any player in the game can perform it. When your player is facing the goal, simply flick the Right Stick left or right. If the Body Feint is executed, the move was successful. If instead your player rolls the ball with their foot, it means the Right Stick was held too long — release it sooner for a cleaner execution.

3-Star Skill Moves
You don’t need to make the most complex moves to easily beat defenders and clear a way to the goal. Most players can perform these, so you should start with them.
4-Star Skill Moves
Once you get to the four-star moves, you’ll have to break each skill down into parts. It will take a little more to master them, but it will pay off.
