- How to vary your shots
-
You can execute a "Knuckle Shot" or "Rising Shot" more easily when shooting with power, and you can add more power to your "Dipping Shots" by shooting when stationary with the ball.
If a cleared ball (for example from a corner) comes out towards you, try striking it while it is still dropping. This allows you to apply a heavy top spin on the ball which gives it a sharp dipping motion.
When trying to head a cross, press the shot button early to head the ball towards the ground with power.
