How to aim free kicks in FIFA 19

Generally you want to be aiming left stick around 3 and half players in space away from where you want the ball to go. This is to allow for the natural curve of the ball. You can see in the video above how this works. We advise trying to score in the corner of the goal so aim 3 and half players wide as a guide.

Ball spin is one of the key parts of scoring. By default a right foot player taking a free kick will bend the ball to the left and a left foot player to the right. This is the natural curve. If you want to make the ball dip you push towards goal with left stick. If you want the ball to rise you hold the left stick away from goal. If you want to make the ball curl more than it would naturally to the left or right you hold the left stick in that direction. Don’t let go of the left stick until the ball has gone. You can also combine dip with curl. So dip and curl to the left hold the left stick diagonal top left for example.


How to do knuckleball free kicks in FIFA 19

To do a knuckleball free kick simply hold LB/L1 when you are taking the kick to hit a low, powerful free kick towards goal. This is more successful with straight free kick takers as they will be running onto the ball from a more direct approach allowing them to hit it with the top of the foot to add more power. This type of free kick can be used at distance but is most useful at medium range so you can bend it over the wall, 20-30yrds. Knuckleball video below from @TFVGaming.

How to defend free kicks in FIFA 19

When defending free kicks you can also move the wall towards the taker by pressing Y (Xbox) or triangle (PS3). Careful not to get booked! Or make the wall jump by pressing A or Cross. And if you move defenders into the wall and then press RB or R1 the player will stay in the wall and you can move another player around. Manually move players onto the goal line in the corner to try stop the methods above. And watch out for that pass to the side of the wall!
