How To Perform A Trickster Fake Shot?

With Trickster Fake Shot, you can easily beat defenders. So how do you perform it? You need a player with Trickster or Trickster+ Playstyle. The good thing is that this choice doesn’t give you much benefit, so just go with the Normal Trickster PlayStyle and spend your FUT 25 Coins on better players.

Trickster Fake Shot is not easy to perform in EA Sports FC 25, but practice makes perfect. Similar to most other Skill Moves, Trickster Fake Shot also requires perfect timing and stick control to perform perfectly. Here are the detailed steps:

If you are a PS4/PS5 user, then move the left stick in the direction you want to perform the move. Press O and then continue to press X to perform Trickster Fake Shot with a player with Trickster PlayStyle.

If you are a Xbox user, then continue to move the left stick in the direction you want to perform the move. Press B and then A to perform Trickster Fake Shot with your player.

Please note that the player must press Shoot followed by Pass button to perform this Skill Move perfectly.

Best Place To Use Trickster Fake Shot

Now that you have a detailed understanding of how to perform Trickster Fake Shot in EA FC 25, let’s talk about when and where it is best to use it.

There are two places you can use it to its greatest effect, depending on the situation, on the wing and in the box.

On the wing, if you see a defender over-committing to a passing lane, you can simply move the left stick accordingly and perform a Trickster Fake Shot to cut inside and score. You can also improve your wing play by performing this Skill Move past them and moving towards the sideline to explore the space in front of you.

This move can also become dangerous in or around the box if the defender is careless when making a tackle. When you receive the ball, it will give you a little free space to turn. Inside the box, look at the defenders and find the little free space you can explore and perform a Trickster Fake Shot in that space to create a shooting opportunity for yourself. Even for a player like Cristiano Ronaldo with an Agility of 76, it’s incredibly fast. A powerful mechanic like this will change the game drastically.

Tips & Tricks

Even if you are using FC 25 Players that are capable of performing Trickster Fake Shot, we recommend not using it in a small space with more than two defenders. Since the player performs a ball roll in this trick, even if you easily pass the first two defenders, the third defender may be able to intercept the ball.

Examples

Let’s look at a few detailed examples. When our striker can receive the ball, even if he receives it, he will have his back to the goal because he needs to turn sharply during the pass. At this point, you need to pay attention to the defenders. If your opponent chooses to defend the upper player and move him away from your striker, this will open up a small space. Pay attention, turn in time, use your left stick to point the space outside, use Trickster Fake Shot, and turn swiftly past two defenders to end the game with a well-deserved goal.

Another example, when you receive a pass from a left-footed player on the right side of the box, if you want to shoot with him, you need an extra touch to get the best shooting angle. However, a normal touch may be intercepted by the defender guarding you. So pay attention to the opponent’s intentions and judge whether he wants to rush into your running area and put himself between you and the goalkeeper.

Considering this situation, if you can manage to turn 90° sharply and push the ball further at the same time, that would be perfect. Therefore, you can choose to perform Trickster Fake Shot to the lower side, and as long as the opponent’s defender is out of the picture, you can get the best shooting angle to score a goal!

In short, if you can use Trickster Fake Shot skillfully, it will have a tremendous impact on your gameplay.
