Chip shots have become more consistent with FC 25 and they are a reliable shooting technique especially when the keeper rushes out from his goal. In this lesson, we break down and show you how and when to effectively use the chip shots in FC 25.

**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!

**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.

**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.

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.
