Every one of the 98 skill-move entries in EA FC 27, on the game's own 6 pages, in the game's own order. Each input is played for you, one row at a time — tap a row to replay it, and use the dock at the bottom to switch PlayStation or Xbox, colour or white buttons, and the game's wording or a simplified reading. Rows marked new were not in FC 26.

Every tier, in brief

The one-star page is the shortest tier, a handful of fakes and quick turns rather than flair. Directional Nutmeg goes straight through a defender who has squared up, First Time Feint Turn spins you off your first touch, Open Up Fake Shot Left and Giant Fake Shot (Standing) buy a yard in the box, and Flick Up for Volley lifts the ball for a first-time strike. Two-star moves are the everyday dribbling toolkit: Body Feint Right, Stepover Left and the Ball Roll Left that wide players live on, each with a mirrored version on the same page. Drag Back and Stop And Go are the tier's stop-start moves, for killing your momentum with a defender closing and going again in a new direction. Three-star moves start turning defenders instead of just shifting the ball. Roulette Right and Roulette Left are the classic spin out of a tackle, Fake Left & Go Right sells one way and exits the other, and Heel Flick knocks the ball on past a lunging leg. Heel Chop Left (while running) needs you already at pace, as its name says. Four-star is the longest page on the screen, and most of it is close-control work: Lane Change Left and Ball Roll Cut Right shift the ball sideways without breaking stride. Fake Pass (while standing) and Ball Hop (while standing) only fire from a standstill, and Simple Rainbow lifts the ball clean over a sliding tackle. Five-star is the flair tier, the top of the skill-move ladder. Elastico is the practical one, Hocus Pocus and Triple Elastico are the showpieces, and Sombrero Flick (while standing) and Rabona Fake (while jogging) only trigger in the state their names describe. Every entry is animated, so watch the ball path before you commit it to a match. Juggling Tricks is not a star tier: every move here assumes the ball is already up and you are keeping it there. Around the World and T. Around the World are the classic keepie-uppie spins, In Air Elastico and Chest Flick work the ball while it is airborne, and Sombrero Flick Left lifts it over whoever is standing to your left.

How skill moves work in FC 27

Every pro has a skill-star rating from one to five, and a move is available once your rating meets its tier — the tabs above follow the game's own pages, one per tier, plus juggling tricks. In Clubs, skill stars are an attribute you buy with AP like any other, so the tier you can reach is a build decision, not a fixed cap.

The tiers, at a glance

1 star (7 moves) is available to every build in the game from level one — Directional Nutmeg, Open Up Fake Shot, Flick Up for Volley and FC 27's new Giant Fake Shot. 2 star (12) is the feint tier: body feints, stepovers, drag back, and the new Stop And Go and Drag To Drag. 3 star (12) brings the roulettes, heel chops and feint-and-exit turns, plus the new Foot To Foot and Lateral Heel To Heel.

4 star is the deepest page at 33 moves — ball rolls, fake passes, lane changes, the spins and rainbows, and five new entries including Flair Roulette and Skilled Bridge. 5 star (25) is the showpiece tier: the elastico family, Hocus Pocus, Tornado Spin, the rainbows, and the new First Time Spin, Alternate Elastico Chop and Running Fake Drag. Juggling Tricks (9) round it out — sombrero flicks, around the world and the chest flick, performed while juggling.

13 of these moves are new to FC 27. They wear a badge above, and each has its own guide with when to use it and which builds suit it — start from every new skill move in FC 27. Inputs for moves carried over from FC 26 are unchanged — every move you could already do works identically, so nothing you drilled last year is wasted.

The other two lists cover every basic control and every celebration, and the FC 27 controls hub ties all three together.
