FC 25 skills: Best skill moves and 5-Star skill players

As a seasoned FIFA player with years of experience under my belt, I must say that the list of 5-Star skill move players is truly impressive! It’s like a who’s who of global football talent, each one bringing their unique style and flair to the game.


Mastering top-notch skill moves in FIFA 25 can give any player a strategic edge against opponents, particularly those who have tactical settings geared towards a more cautious and defensive approach.

Skillful maneuvers can only be executed by players who have a sufficient number of rankings (stars). These stars range from one to five, with the most challenging and impressive moves being exclusive to highly skilled players.

However, there aren’t many 5-Star skill move players in the game, so we’ve included them, too. 

Read on to discover strategies for outsmarting tenacious adversaries, provided you have the ideal team members at your disposal.

FC 25 skills: Best skill moves and 5-Star skill players

As a die-hard cinema-goer of Football Club 25, I’ve got to say that there’s an impressive repertoire of around 70 skill moves up for grabs. Not all these moves are equally potent, and it takes the crème de la crème of players in the game to pull off most of them flawlessly.

In our compilation, we’ve only listed the moves that provide a competitive advantage, along with the required number of stars for each skill execution.

  • 1-Star/Fakeshot: Press circle/X to shoot then press X/A to cancel; varies depending on skill move level 
  • 2-Star/Stepover: Flick the right analogue stick forward and then roll it either left or right to perform the skill 
  • 2-Star/Ball roll: Hold the right analogue stick to the left or right; more skill moves you have, the quicker this will be 
  • 3-Star/Heel Chop: L2/LT and square/X and then press X/A to in the direction you wish to go in 
  • 3-Star/Heel Flick: Flick the right analogue stick up and then down 
  • 3-Star/Fake going one way then going the other: Move the analogue stick anti-clockwise/clockwise about halfway around 
  • 4-Star/Drag back: Hold L2/LT and drag the right analogue down 
  • 5-Star/Tornado Spin: Hold L2/LT and Hold L1/LB then flick right stick up and left

In this game, these are some exceptional skill moves to try out. However, the specific version of these skills you’ll perform depends on which player you choose and their overall star rating.

A highly skilled player tends to execute moves faster, and different playstyles can influence how effectively they demonstrate their skills.
