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 FC 27 skill move controls for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC using a controller or keyboard. FC 27 is also available on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, although Nintendo button layouts are not currently included in this guide.
New Skill Moves
Every year, Electronic Arts introduces new skill moves in the game, replicating how real-world players have innovated in the last year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Skill moves are performed using specific button and Right Stick inputs while controlling a player. Some moves are contextual and only work while standing, running, jogging, receiving the ball or juggling. The controlled player’s Skill Moves Rating must also meet the requirement of the selected move.
It’s not crucial which skill moves you use, but it’s recommended to master two or three moves thoroughly. They don’t need to be 5-star skills. 3-star skills will work just fine.

No. Since FIFA 14, players have not needed to hold L2/LT to perform skill moves.
Open Up Fake Shot, Reverse Stepover, Ball Roll Cut Left, Drag Back, Heel Flick, and Four Touch Turn are some of the most effective FC 27 skill moves.
Just like in real football, timing is crucial, and you need to read each situation carefully. Different scenarios call for different tricks.
Simplified Skill Moves are an optional accessibility feature that lets players perform a contextual skill move by flicking the Right Stick in one of four directions.
After enabling Simplified Skill Moves in the Accessibility settings, the move performed depends on the direction of the input and the player’s Skill Moves Rating:
Simplified Skill Moves use slower animations than their standard versions, are more difficult to chain and can produce less precise outcomes.
After enabling Simplified Skill Moves in the Accessibility settings, the move performed depends on the direction of the input and the player’s Skill Moves Rating:
- One or two stars
Forward: Low Skill Roulette
Left or Right: Ball Roll
Back: Feint Forward and Turn - Three or four stars
Forward: Roulette
Left or Right: Stop and Turn
Back: Feint Forward and Exit - Five stars
Forward: Three Touch Roulette
Left or Right: Drag Turn
Back: Flair Nutmeg 180
Simplified Skill Moves use slower animations than their standard versions, are more difficult to chain and can produce less precise outcomes.
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.
Skill moves are key in separating good players from great ones in Football Club 27. In tightly contested matches, a player’s ability to outmaneuver opponents often determines the outcome. Using skill moves effectively lets you outsmart your rivals, catch them off guard, and execute offensive plays before they can react.
Skill moves are available in supported gameplay modes whenever you directly control an eligible player. Available moves depend on that player’s Skill Moves Rating, while special Player Items, Evolutions and customised Clubs players may have different ratings from their base versions.
Each player has a Skill Moves Rating from one to five stars. This rating determines which categories of skill moves that player can perform. A player can execute moves from their own star category and all lower categories, while five-star players have access to the complete standard skill move set.
Only a limited number of players can perform the most complex skill moves.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Putellas, Ousmane Dembélé, and Kylian Mbappé are among the players with a five-star skill rating in Football Club 27.
1-Star Skill Moves
These skill moves are so basic that any player, including goalkeepers, can perform them. Ball Juggle and Foot Fake can only be performed while standing.
2-Star Skill Moves
More complex than 1-star skills, moves like body feints and stepovers are still easy enough for almost everyone.
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.
