FIFA 20 skill moves: how to pull off the Flair Roulettte, Drag to Drag and more

Another year, another FIFA. Updates to the franchise are about as inevitable as getting nutmegged online by a 14-year-old, and if such humiliations leave you with a feeling of severe existential dread, then you need to learn how to perform skill moves in FIFA 20 to even the odds.

First off, you’re going to need to choose a player who has the relevant skill level to pull off these tricks. If you just want to practice, head into the arena and choose Neymar Jr, Paul Pogba or Marcus Rashford, who all boast five-star skill moves. If you’re trying to create a skillful Ultimate Team, use this handy guide to every five-star skill player in FIFA 20, found on the official EA website.

Beyond that, all that's left is to get into the skill moves and the inputs necessary to pull them off in the thick of play. You'll have to adapt the input to the direction you’re facing to make the skill work, so bear in mind that while you’re always facing forward in the practice arena, in-game you could be facing any direction, most often in the direction of the opposing goal.
