While it may seem a simple trick, you must execute all the steps perfectly to perform a perfect trickster fake shot to confuse opponent defenders and create space.

When to use the trickster fake shot skill?

This skill is most effective near or inside the opponent's penalty box. That is a place from where the defenders will expect you to shoot from, so whenever you are setting up for a shot, they will go on a final tackle to block the shot. However, if you can execute the skill perfectly, their tackle will go to waste, and you will have acres of space to shoot.

This shot can also be effective while attacking from the wing, as the opponent defenders will expect you to send in a cross. In such places, you can either perform the skill to cut back and send in a better cross, or come to the edge of their box to perform a finesse shot.

A few mistakes to avoid when trying the trickster fake shot in EA FC 26

Since this skill includes a ball role, you should avoid doing it in tight spaces near the box, where two or more players are guarding your path. Because once you roll the ball in such a situation, it's easier for a defender to dispossess you.

Doing this trick on the edge or just inside the penalty box might be better, as you can breeze past a defender, taking a low-driven shot or a powerful shot to send the ball into the back of the net.

As mentioned earlier, only players with a Trickster or Trickster+ playstyle, such as Osumane Dembele, Raphinha, Musiala, Sophia Wilson, Chloe Kelly, and Cristiano Ronaldo, can perform this trick in the game.
