Free kick mechanics in FIFA 21

The shooting mechanics is quite simple. 

  1. First you need to aim. For this you need to move the target with the left stick, choosing a suitable angle for the strike. 
  2. After aiming, the player starts the run, at this moment it is important to choose the type of shot with the right stick. 
  3. And ideally, you need to hit the “Timed finishing” by the second press of the shot button – this is a kind of semi-noticeable radius that appears around the sight before the takeoff run. It comes in three levels: yellow, green and red. Depending on which one level you hit with the second press, your shot will be either the most accurate or not very.

Types of shots

The FIFA 2021 free kick can be taken in different ways. A specific execution algorithm is provided for each type. 

Normal

Normal shot without a twist. It should be used if your team has an excellent free kicks performer, and the goal is about 20 meters away. The sufficient shot power should be equal to two parts. It is desirable to get into the green “Timed finishing” zone.

Top spin

If you want learn how to take free kick in FIFA 21 – this type of shots should be trained first.

This is a shot for a range of approximately 23-24 meters. It’s about shooting the ball over the wall with a downward twist, while the ball does not fly straight, without shifting to the side. 

You need to aim about a meter above the point where you want to hit (the target can be even above a crossbar). Shot power – 2-3 divisions. 

After you have pressed the shot button, you need to move the right stick down and immediately up. It is important to move the stick down and then up without deviations, in a straight line. If the algorithm is strictly followed, a long white stripe appears in the scope. Traditionally, it is better to get into the green area “Timed finishing”. 

Side spin

The result here depends on the correct scope. 

If, for example, the goal is 20 meters away, then move the sight circle to the left or right next to the goal by about one meter. 

If it is 22-23 meters away, then you need to deflect the target by a couple of meters. Moreover, it should be slightly below the goal bar. 

Shot power – 2-3 divisions. After that, as soon as the run-up starts press down the right stick and make an arc with it 180 degrees (if you need a twist to the left, then we make an arc on the right side, if a twist to the right, then on the left side).

Knuckleball

The most interesting shot – it is suitable for the most distant free kicks (23-30 meters), at short distances it is not effective.

  • We first aim at the place where we want to score. 
  • Power: for a distance of up to 25 meters, 2 and a half or 3 divisions are enough, if further, then 3 and a half divisions. 
  • Next, it is important to correctly perform a strictly vertical movement with the right stick – down-up-down. 

If you did everything correctly and hit the “Timed finishing”, then the ball will take a wagging trajectory, very unpleasant and difficult for the goalkeeper.

Bottom kick under the wall

It is relevant if your opponent is jumping with a wall. It is enough just to aim down, choosing the desired angle and hit with a power of 2 divisions.

Direct bounce

Suitable if your opponent has placed the wall incorrectly and “exposed” the corner. 

For shot, first aim, then hold down L1 or LB and hit the ball with a power of one and a half to two divisions and be sure to get into “Timed finishing”.
