FIFA shooting tutorial. How to shoot in FIFA 22

Our FIFA shooting tutorial teaches you the best ways of scoring from different positions. All the types of shot you can use to score and when you should use them. Better players have better stats and traits to give more accuracy but you need to know how to shoot. Being updated for FIFA 22

Here are the sections for Shooting:

FIFA 22 types of shot and when to do them.

Learn these types of shot in FIFA 22 and the controls. Make sure you know which foot each player uses for shooting. You should always know your players that well. If a player has 4 or even 5 star weak foot you will notice they are much better at shooting.

Shot preparation

Shots are easier in FIFA if you are in space. Your player might not hit the ball clean if under pressure. Try to steady your player before shooting by tapping left trigger (L2 or LT) on its own just before shooting. You could try to knock the ball ahead or do a skill as shown later on this tutorial.

Finesse shot

To perform a finesse shot in FIFA 22 Press R1/RB and the shoot button. This makes the ball curve into the corner away from the keeper. At the start of FIFA 22 finesse shots are extremely effective around the edge of the box. To the point that they will probably be tweaked or the keepers by EA. When inside the box the curve sometimes bends the ball towards the keeper rather than into the corners. Make sure you know which foot each player is and if they have finesse trait.

Low driven shot

To perform a low driven shot in FIFA 22 press L1+R1 or LB+RB and the shoot button. We have found that low driven shots find the net more when you are facing the goal head on rather than at an angle. For some reason many shots go wide when they are driven towards goal from an angle. To counter this you have to combine the finesse shot above. To perform a driven finesse shot first you press the R1/RB and shoot button and then very quickly L1+R1 or LB+RB.

Chip shot

In FIFA 22 the chip shot is less effective when trying to lob it over the keeper. Our FIFA shooting tutorial highlights two important times to use a chip shot. When the keeper is charging you is the most common. The second is when you are right next to the keeper 1 on 1 at any time. To perform a chip shot in FIFA 22 simply press L1/LB. Usually 2 to 3 bars of power will chip a keeper who is at the edge of the 6 yard box running towards you. Make sure you shoot early enough to get the ball over the keeper.

Long shot

Same as every FIFA, long shots can be a good way to score when using the right players. Look for any player with long shot trait as a starting point. If a player has long shot stat 85 or over they will be very useful. Combine that with shot power again 85 or over and long shots will start to fire into the goal. If a player has high stats and the trait as well you will score lots from the edge of the box and just outside.

Shoot across keeper

In FIFA 22 shooting across the keeper is more successful when approaching the goal from a certain angle. Most of the time a near post finish will be the better choice. Shoot across the keeper when there is a small gap between the near post and keeper as shown below.

Near post shot

Shooting near post not as easy in FIFA 22. Use just a normal shot and then learn how to add driven and driven finesse. Use near post when facing the goal and also at very wide angles. Also use near post finishing for long shots when that side of the goal. The best advice in our FIFA shooting tutorial.

Flair shot

To perform a flair shot in FIFA 22 you simply press L2/LT when you shoot. This is advised when you are confident or not really needing to score. People enjoy scoring flair shots and if you time them right they can look spectacular. The ultimate flair finish is probably the scorpian kick if a player has the flair trait. When the ball is in the air and slightly behind your player there is a chance it will happen. The video from FIFA 20 shows how, nothing has changed.

Timed finish

We recommend using timed finishing if you want to your finishing to the next level. The chance of scoring rises if you can add a timed finish and it will also worry your opponent more. Our timed finishing tutorial blog shows how to do this.

Use fake shot or skill

Finally in our FIFA shooting tutorial is a great way to help you score more goals. Creating that bit of space before you shoot can give you a better chance of scoring. A few skills depending on the situation will create that space. Heel to heel flick and fake shot are the most common. New in FIFA 20 is the set up touch move which is shown on our FIFA 1 star skills page.
