A goalless football match is the last thing we want. And a goalless FIFA match after betting with your friend is unthinkable. In our previous articles we wrote about how to defend in this article. If we have shored up the defending part, it is time to move forward. Of course we do not want all your matches to end 0-0. So what are the FIFA 22 goal-scoring tactics? If you are curious how to collect the goal, the sweetest fruit of football, this article is for you. Everything about scoring in FIFA is here!
What Are the FIFA 22 Goal-Scoring Tactics?
To tell the truth, gone are the days in FIFA 20 when we tried to find goal chances by using players with a five-star weak foot with drag-backs, drag-backs and only drag-backs, and the days in FIFA 21 when we scored by surprising and passing the opposing defense with players with five-star skill moves. Luckily, FIFA 22 gives us plenty of options for scoring. So what are they? In today's article we will talk about tactics for
- Finishing inside the penalty area,
- Scoring with long shots,
- Scoring from counter-attacks,
- Scoring from free kicks,
.
How Do You Finish in FIFA 22?
In previous years there was a far post-near post distinction, but unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) there is no such clear distinction in FIFA 22. Because goalkeepers can make absurd saves, many people have had trouble finishing. The really important part is learning timed finishing. Timed finishing is a feature where you press the shoot button, wait about half a second and press shoot again, which helps you take the shot better. Timed finishing, which was introduced to us in FIFA 19, lost its importance over the past 2 years, but it is a feature that needs to be learned this year. First you need to turn this feature on in the game settings, and then you need to practice a lot. You may struggle until a certain amount of time has passed, but once you learn timed finishing, you will see how much your goal rate increases.
Scoring With Long Shots in FIFA 22
Actually, scoring with long shots has become easier this year. The easiest way to take long shots, which are not as hard as you might think, is to find the right angle and look at the goalkeeper's position. If you study the opposing goalkeeper as you shoot, you have a chance to catch which way he steps. If the opposing goalkeeper steps toward the near post as you shoot, you can shoot to the far side, and if he steps toward the far post, you can shoot to the near post. If you also learn the timed finishing we mentioned in the previous point, your chances will increase considerably. Of course, unlike finishing, not every footballer can succeed with this kind of shot. That is why you should test the goal with players whose shot power and long shots attributes are around 80+.
Scoring From a Counter-Attack in FIFA 22
This one is more a kind of tactic than the other two. If you let the opposing team come at you, you can catch them out of position suddenly. To do this, you need the right types of players. Using fast wingers, you can quickly come at the opposing team in situations like 3 on 2, 4 on 3 or 5 on 3 and send the ball into the net with one-twos. Remember, for this you also need to set your defensive tactics before the match. If you are a player who attacks the opponent with pressing all match and then patiently passes the ball at the back, you cannot score many goals from counter-attacks. Try to open up closed defenses with long shots!
How Do You Take Free Kicks in FIFA 22?
Another question is how to take free kicks. For this, of course, your player needs to have good free kick attributes. Then shot power and curve attributes are also important. If you are sure you have chosen the right player, next comes how to score. This is really not very hard. Many players with good free kicks can create a goal threat when they take the free kick straight at the near post without needing any curve. You can also catch the jumping wall out of position by using powerful ground free kicks.
