We love a good tip on FIFA 17.
Around a month ago, we discovered a trick on how to breeze past your opponent using pace and skill.
Courtesy of professional FIFA player BorasLegend, a smart little trick emerged that gives you an advantage when you are the attacker in this pivotal 1v1 situations.

In order to make the very most of the speed your attacking players have in their lock, you need to be doing a fair bit of button-bashing while they are on the ball.
The first step is to do a little ball-roll - a fairly basic trick to pull off in the game.
Then you've got to follow it up by clicking L1 or LB, depending on what your console of choice is.
Next you need to press and hold the button you use to sprint, RT on Xbox or RB on PS4, and aim the left analog stick in the opposite direction of the direction of the ball-roll.

If all goes well, you should be bypassing defenders with relative ease.
This time, Reddit user Pemoniz came up with a method to conquering the annoying defensive tactic that many adopt when you've got a free-kick in a promising position - that being them putting a player on the line to stop your goal-bound effort.
Explaining about his theory, he said:

"Remember, if the opponents puts a player on the line, call a 2nd free kick taker and do a fake shot with him. The AI will get the defender off the line.
"Fake shot (Shoot+pass)+ hold button you used to call the 2nd free kick taker."
If you are on PS4 Hold L2 and press square and X or alternatively if Xbox is your go-to console, Hold LT and press B and A. - just make sure you do it quickly.
Here is the process:

Two players stand over the ball.
Fake the shot with your second kick taker.
AI will automatically move the player from the line and if you are any good at free-kicks and have a player with good free-kick stats, you've hit the jackpot.
Give this trick a bash and see how you get on taking free-kicks. Practice makes perfect!
