Attacks aren't much use if you can't finish your chances; therefore, it's essential you know what type of shot to use according to the situation.

Let's take a look at how to maximize your efficiency in front of goal.

Shooting in FIFA 23 is a skill that is easy to learn but hard to master. Many players neglect this part of the game, relying on instinct and luck as they hold down the shot button to release a shot hoping it will somehow find the back of FUT 23 Coins the net. While this may sometimes work, often, it will be saved by the goalkeeper due to its lack of accuracy. Let’s look at the different options available to you when you find yourself in a shooting position and how to make the best use of these circumstances.

The most basic shot type at your disposal and the one everyone is familiar with. Simply pressing and holding the shot button will launch a shot toward the opponent’s goal. The longer you hold the shot button, the more powerful it will be, but also less accurate.

You can also try other fancy shots like the back heel or flicked finish. The key, of course, is the timing and positioning of your striker. The success rate of such shots also depends on your player. Certain players like Neymar Jr. and Cristiano Ronaldo are better at scoring flair shots than, let’s say, Lionel Messi.
