Added four new players and triple fake shots to the FIFA 23 skill moves list. Going forward, we’ll explain how you can unlock all seven of these FIFA 23 additions, and we’ll tell you all the kicks, games, and coconuts returning from previous versions.
The four new moves are First Time Cheating Round (1 Star), Stuttering Cheating (3 Stars), Heel-to-Ball Roll (4 Stars) and Heel Fake (5 Stars). The new fake shots are called Jog Open Up, Stand Open Up and Explosive Fake Shot (all 4 Stars). Enough talk: let’s show you how to do them in our FIFA 23 skill moves guide.
FIFA 23 talent moves reveal star ratings
The following list of FIFA 23 skill moves is divided into five categories. Each player in the game has an independent rating of ‘skill moves’, which you can find on the attributes screen, which determines how many cheats they can perform. One-star players can only unleash moves in this category, while five-star players can perform every final move. As you’d expect, wingers can often be found with four stars and above, while most defenders have lower ratings.
