EA Sports FC 25: 10 Best Dribblers In Ultimate Team

Take a look at the best-rated dribbles to use in Ultimate Team when you’re playing EA Sports FC 25.

For players rocking the new Tricker playstyle, a minor update was made to the Fake Shot animation. It is, essentially, the same move, just with a new animation to give it a fresh look, so it’s worth mentioning.

How To Do Every New Skill Move?

Beyond just animations, EA Sports has added four entirely new skills for players to break through defensive lines and trick their opponents. Here are all the new skill moves added in EA FC 25.

Big Feint

Hold the L2 button (LT for the Xbox) on your controller and flick the RS to the right or left.

This skill move is typically used to deceive defenders, sending them in the wrong direction and creating more space for players to move forward. Since it’s a two-star skill move, almost any player can pull off the Big Feint in EA Sports FC 25.

Stop and Go

Hold the L2 button (LT for the Xbox) on your controller and flick the RS either back or forward, depending on which direction you want to go. The Stop and Go skill movement is quite straightforward and falls under the two-star category of skills.

This means that any player with a skill move rating of two stars or higher can execute this move. Typically, all two-star moves are relatively easy to perform yet quite effective, primarily because the higher-rated skills can be quite challenging to execute during a fast-paced 11-a-side match.

Step Over Ball

Hold the L1 button (LB for the Xbox), flick the RS forward, and then left or right. Mastering this move will enable you to dribble through the opponent’s defensive line with ease.

Keep in mind that this is a four-star skill move, and there are only a limited number of players with a four-star skill rating available in the game. Notable players that can perform this skill include Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne, Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham, and Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez.

AC Milan is referred to as Milano FC, while Inter Milan is called Lombardia FC.

Toe Drag Stepover

To perform this skill move, hold L1 and then rotate the RS to the right, back, and left. This is a five-star skill move, meaning that only the elite dribblers with five-star dribbling stats can execute it.

Players like Al Ahli’s Neymar Jr., Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr., and Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala all have the most crafty moves at their disposal. Given the variety of skills these players can utilize, you may need to put in some practice before you can successfully pull off the same move in the game.
