Player Skills is something that has been discussed for quite a long time now. eFootball 2025 brings us several features into a fun football experience but what’s important is how every player is different because of the skills they have. Player Skills are important in selecting a player, so you must understand what kind of skills there are and how you can utilize them to the fullest, for the same reason I bring this eFootball 2025 Player Skills Guide.
I have left out the Show Time skills from this article since they are premium skills and regular players cannot have them. To read their explanations, you can refer to this detailed guide. I have divided the skills into certain sections for easy understanding.
Ball Control and Dribbling Skills
In most cases, we use dribbling skills to get past a defender and get to the right shooting position.
1. Sole Control
Your player can step on the ball and has better control over it, which helps him to execute feints and quick turns with ease.
2. Scissors Feint
Your player can perform the Scissors Feint at high speed to confuse opponents. Flicks the analog pad sideways to trigger the move.
3. Double Touch
Allows your player to execute a swift and precise Double-Touch move. This can be performed by flicking the analog pad in the direction a player is dribbling.
4. Flip Flap
Your player can perform the Flip Flap to outwit defenders. A similar to the Double Touch move.
5. Marseille Turn
Enables your player to spin and maneuver with the Marseille Turn. While dribbling with your player, flick your analog stick down or perform a half circle.
6. Sombrero
Your player can perform the flick of the ball over the opponent effortlessly. This in eFootball can only be performed when the player receives the ball in the air and then flicks the analog pad in the opposite direction.
7. Chop Turn
Allows your player to quickly execute the Chop Turn to evade challenges.
8. Cut Behind & Turn
Your player can perform a smooth Cut-behind move to escape defenders. Flick your analog stick either up or down depending on what your direction needs to be.
9. Scotch Move
Your player can execute the Scotch Move to maintain control under pressure. Just flick the analog stick slightly off-center to perform this skill.
10. Rabona
Lets your player perform a stylish Rabona for passing or shooting deceptively. This is an automatically triggered skill.
The below video has a tutorial for performing all these skills, so take a look at it for a better visual representation.
Passing Skills
Most of the passing skills aren’t manually activated. They are part of the regular controls, and automatically triggered whenever the player goes with the pass command depending on the skills.
1. Weighted Pass
Your player adds backspin for more accurate lofted passes and through balls. No special control to enable it, your player will decide for himself.
2. Pinpoint Crossing

6. Low Lofted Pass

7. Long Throw

3. Long-Range Curler

4. GK Long Throw
