**Key takeaways for this lesson:**
- Make sure that the keeper is committing with his rush out of his goal before going for a chip shot.
- To perform it hold L1/LT and power up the shot.
- The ideal spot for a chip shot is when you are about to enter the box or 1-2 steps afterwards.
- Aim for a power around 2 bars.
- The left stick input is crucial, try to point out the left stick towards the middle of the goal or towards the far post to fully avoid the goalkeeper.
- Be more encouraged with players that have the silver and the gold playstyles!

Powerful Chip Shots In 1v1 Situations

When the opponent gets himself on your side of the pitch, you have two decide what you need to do defensively. Having a good understanding of both on-the-ball and off-the-ball defending will help you incredibly. With this lesson, we explain how these concepts work, when you can use them and how to defend strongly by combining them together.

**Key takeaways for this lesson:**
- To decide which player you want to defend with, you need to understand the intention of the opponent, which we call anticipation.
- Ask yourself, what will be the opponent’s next move? Once you understand this you can go for the following approaches.
- You can control a player that directly defends the opponent’s player which is controlling the ball, we call this on the ball defending.
- In some cases, you won’t be able to continue this hands-on approach, but instead cover the free area or the next potential passing target. This is what we call off the ball defending.
- Combining both and continuously switching between them in your defense will make you a decent defender.

Two Must Learn Crucial Defending Concepts

You need to learn some major differences between FC 24 and 25 before fully adapting to the new game. In this lesson, we show you the key points to it.

**Key takeaways for this lesson:**
- Advanced defending feels much better in FC 25. Turn it on in the settings menu if you haven't already and use your physicality against the attackers with shoulder-to-shoulder challenges!
- Tackles are better, both the standing and sliding ones. You can punish attackers with your tackles just for having the ball too long at their feet carelessly.
- Defender recovery time is insane. You don’t get punished as much for a wrong defensive move in FC 25 as much as you used to get in FC 24, which helps you to have a braver defensive approach.
- However, you still need to be cautious and not give away easy chance creation opportunities. Pulling defenders out of position comes first to mind, which you need to avoid.

How To Combine All The Different Tools To Form A Well Rounded Attacking Game

So many things that are important in the attack... it can get confusing!

Attacking in FC 25

FC 25 is similar to FC 24 in its core, however there are a few key differences that shift the game balance and that you need to understand in order to attack succesfully in this new game. We discuss all those differences in this lesson!

**Key takeaways for this lesson:**
- FC 25 is a technical game that requires you to have a wide repertoire of skills in order to accel in the attack.
- Passing is more difficult due to bad angle passes and one touch passes being weaker and less controlled. So make sure that you clean up your passing game and go for control.
- Dribbling is more difficult as well as players take heavier touches and you can't turn as quickly. So make sure to stay safe from defenders and try to work with subtle direction changes.
- Defenders recover quickly in FC 25 so even if you break some ankles, you need to be aware that that same defender might pressure you again a second later.

How to transition your attack from FC 24 to FC 25

The transition from to FC 25 can be tricky...

Transitioning from FC 24 to FC 25

hey, bro, how you are getting 8 to 9 ms, where are u from?

Will definitely think about this in the upcoming days, thanks for the advice!

Thanks, this is wonderful..
Can you do a quick tutorial on ground passing. My ground passes are not reaching my team matés quickly . It takes ages to reach where it is intended to unless I use the R1 pass. In this same video, I can see that your ground passes rocket towards your team mate. I tried tapping and also delaying the release of X . If you could do a video on how you are usinf the controller for passing, it would be great.  My ping is 8ms to 9ms, so definitely not the connection.. 

You don't take your hand off the movement button, but be careful. That depends heavily on the attacker's movement. If you are in a good spot you can still move but without running. That applies if the angle of the opportunity doesn't change. If the attacker runs and find himself another passing/running angle, then you will have to reposition yourself, get in the optimal spot and then stop, not completely, but let's say slow down. I hope this made it clearer. :)

Your tutorials have been helpful my defending and anticipations in defense has really improved thanks 🙏

Something I don’t really understand about staying in middle of different opportunities when I’m caught between two opponents on a counter and I position myself in the middle do take my hand off the movement button ? Because it’s really hard to stand on a spot 

Do you concede too much from the wings and don't know how to prevent it? This lesson gives you what you need to focus on.

**Key takeaways for this lesson:**

- Observe the attackers and analyze the threat that they cause. There could be multiple opportunities for the opponent.
- Try to position yourselves in the center of these opportunities. You need to be able to control of these and if you overcommit towards one and gamble over the other, you put yourself in danger.
- Let the opponent do the first move and THEN make your defensive move.
- Make sure you also take a look at our tutorial on [How To Attack From The Wings](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6czaAVcQRx0) on our Youtube channel!
