Turning a defender.............

[Mattyj3nks86]

i am just wondering....

if my striker has his back to the last defender and the ball is played to his feet, what moves or tricks are there to beat the defender??

im just thinking surely there must be some moves turn the defender so you are through and past him..

i am on xbox 360.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!

thanks

you can try the dummy through your legs... hold the finesse button (RB) when its coming to you

i've done it a couple of times and it goes through his legs and you run round him, but a lot of the time the defender will stop it

just don't hold sprint at all when it comes into you, keep LT held down and keep close control

but generally, the huge majority of the time you'll have to pass it out to another player

1-2s seem to be the best.

a lot depends on the level of player/cpu you are against. anything professional (the level i play on) and above the defenders give you no time on the ball. a bad online opponent/semi-pro you have much more time to do tricks.

i quite like the juggle and whip the ball over my head... you can score some great goals if near the edge of the box using this tactic

[Mattyj3nks86]

how exactly would i do a one to so the player who originally had the ball would end up through on goal??

and how do you do the juggle and whip?? (whatever that is) lol

Do a quick turn if your striker is close enough to the defender, you have to practice doing it with your Left Stick.

a one-two with ur nearest team mate is the best option

close control tbh. amount of goals ive scored with it is enough to give this reps.

... or if you get bored of playing one-two's all the time just shield the ball: hold R2 and no direction as the ball is coming to you and your player will remain facing the same way but hold off the defender. From there you can either spin past the defender or lay-off a team-mate

[dave797]

Flick the Right analogue stick left or right depending on space to take the ball in that direction when it's played in to you. If you time it right it can free up two or 3 yards to get a shoot or pass away.

hold L1 and press X twice, that will do a 1-2 back to you.

the juggle is harder lol. its L2 and R1 (i think R1 - i swapped mine all round lol) so hold L2 then keep tapping R1, then pull back/forward on the left stick and it whips it over your head. takes some practice tho

Yeah use first touch anologue stick

Agreed, close control go one way then the other works for me

Yep what I do as well. If he's getting too clever anticipating how you receive it, try and do a long knock on, might give you an easy run on goal.

I do this alot with my mate its a great laugh.

When in that position I like to do a quick kick up and then bounce it over mine and the defenders heads.

Hold RB/R1 > Move in oposite direction
