5-star move  ·  running only

Running Fake Drag is one of the 13 skill moves new to EA FC 27. It is a 5-star move, so any pro with 5 skill stars or more can perform it.

What it does

A fake shot that becomes a drag, performed at full speed.

When to use it

Running at a defender who respects your shot. The fake stops them; the drag goes past them.

Which builds it suits

Forwards with a shot worth respecting — the move only works if the fake is credible.

Worth knowing

The standing version of this is Giant Fake Shot at one star. This is the sprinting variant and costs four more stars.

5-star requirement
