Scoring Free Kicks In FC 25

Once you have been awarded a free kick, scoring starts from an important decision: which player you will choose to take the kick. Naturally, you want to look for an ideal player, one that has a good combination of these skills:

  • Free Kick Accuracy
  • Curve
  • Shot Power

Ideal players that would work for tacking free kicks would be ones like Lionel Messi, Dani Parejo, Vincenzo Grifo, Neymar and James Ward-Prowse. They would be ideal, but you might not have them in your team. In that case, you could train (or buy if you’re in Ultimate Team) a player with a good combination of the skills, especially if you are getting skilled with scoring them.

As for aiming the free kick, ideally try to aim a little higher than you would normally and keep in mind that you can contribute both power and curve to your shot, as to also fit the skills of the player you have selected.
