    How do I move my goalkeeper towards opposite strikers, I’m just stucked when they are on the attack towards my goal post.

  2. I pressed and hold the shot button followed by 3 quick taps then i saw a low strong shot. I wonder if there are any other hidden tricks.

  3. What’s with the flick up before shooting!!! and sometimes before passing!! its so stupid! Does anyone know why it does that?

  4. Why doesn’t my offence move forward why they just stand at one place when I dribble with different player

  5. Is there no such thing as a through lob anymore?! I’ve tried engaging the through button, tapping into space, etc. and I still keep passing on the ground! Has anyone had success with through lobs?!

  6. How come other player run faster than mine everytime their got the ball even though my player overall n speed are higher? Shit. Somebody tell me why everytime I sprint, defenders keep catching up

      1. Why don’t my players move around on offense. It takes time to start when having to force move players into position.

    1. my players does the same thing. my team ovr is 107 and when playing against ovr95 they are faster than mine. so frustrating. my players are slow

  7. Weird controls.. When i want my player to kick or pass ball ahead, instead it passes behind.. This annoying thing has happened twice in front of open goal… This stupjs controls had made me lose 6-7 games in row..even to low ranked teams….. SO ANNOYING

  8. Hey guys I need some help with the England Part 3 I’m stuck at mission 1 “Avoid Opponents” does anyone know how to trick the goalkeeper? And get the ball in the Goal without shooting?

    1. why do you want to score without shooting ? while playing this you cannot use the buttons you can only swipe.
      if you want to score you have to swipe thats it

      1. How can i move my gk out on attack players?
        (Rush) i only have one big circle on skill button,in my fifa 20 mobile version….
        Is there an option to do it?
