New FC 25 skill moves always require a little bit of adjustment time, but this year's set shouldn't prove too much of a problem. Among the additions for EA FC 25 are the Big Feint, Stop and Go, Step Over Ball and Toe Drag Stepover, and you can find out exactly how to do them below. That's not the only purpose of this list. We also have all the returning old favourites for you, in GR's comprehensive FC 25 skill moves guide.
FC 25 skill moves star ratings explained
Every individual player in FC 25 has a specific skill moves star rating, which you can find in his or her attributes screen, or on their Ultimate Team card. (Certain promos see these star ratings increase, making these items highly sought after.) One-star players can only unleash moves in that category, whereas five-star players can nail every last one. That explains the tables below. If you still need more help, check out GR's guides to FC 25 Player Roles, FC 25 Ratings, and FC 25 Season 2 Ladder Players.
