FIFA 22 skill moves: Full list of tricks players can use

Showing off impressive skills is why football is often called the beautiful game. FIFA 22 allows players to perform flashy skill moves, and doing so has never been easier.

Utilizing skill moves is vital to breaking down tight defenses in FIFA. In multiplayer matches, it's a good way for players to show off their abilities. FIFA 22 has added four new skill moves - the Scoop Turn Fake, Skilled Bridge, Four-Touch Turn, and First-Time Spin.

The first three require players with a four-star skill move rating, while the last one requires a five-star rating. This article looks at every single skill move present in FIFA 22 and how to perform them.

List of all FIFA 22 skill moves players can use in the game

The skill movements in FIFA 22 are divided into five categories. Every player in the game has their own Skill Moves rating. These can be found on their attributes tab and affects how many tricks they can do.

One-star players can only use moves from that category, whereas five-star players can use all of them. As predicted, most defenders get poor ratings, but wingers frequently earn four stars or more.
