In EA FC 25, skill moves are not only a means to enhance your offense, but also a way for players to express their own mechanical skill by styling on their opponents. While some are easier to pull off, the best moves have a longer input but will reward the most skilled players with the easiest offensive plays in the game. Since there’s a massive list of moves to use, we’ve created a list of skills, their inputs, and which category they belong to.
