The finesse shot is a controlled shooting method that curves the ball with precision, making it particularly deadly when striking from diagonal angles toward the goal. This technique is one of the most effective scoring methods in FC 25, focusing on placement and technique rather than normal power shots to guide the ball beyond the goalkeeper's reach.
In this guide, we'll break down the exact steps to execute finesse shots in both FC 25 and 24. You'll learn the optimal situations to use them, key button combinations, and practical drills to master this skill.

How to Finesse Shot
Performing a finesse shot is one of the simplest techniques to master in FC 25 & 24.
PlayStation Controls:
- Hold R1 + Circle simultaneously
Xbox Controls:
- Hold RB + B simultaneously
To execute the perfect finesse shot, approach the goal at a 45-degree angle. Your player's strong foot matters - right-footed players should approach from the right side, while left-footed players should attack from the left. This angle creates the perfect curve to bypass the goalkeeper.
If you notice your finesse shots aren't registering, a common solution is to hold the R1/RB button slightly longer after pressing the shoot button. Some players experience this issue, but maintaining pressure on the button throughout the shooting motion ensures the game recognizes the command properly.
How to Improve Your Finesse Shots
The "Finesse Shot+" PlayStyle is a premium trait that improves a player's shooting abilities. Stars like Sam Kerr, Harry Kane, and Lautaro Martínez come equipped with this trait, allowing them to execute finesse shots with exceptional speed, curve, and accuracy. You can acquire players with this trait by purchasing them from the transfer market using FIFA Coins or through pack openings.
To maximize your finesse shots, focus on using players who possess that trait. The enhanced curve and accuracy make it easier to find the corners of the goal, especially in one-on-one situations with the goalkeeper. Position these players in formations that allow them to cut inside from wide positions or receive the ball at angles that suit their stronger foot.
Practice scenarios in the arena or skill games can help you master the timing and positioning needed for perfect finesse shots. Pay attention to your player's body position and the amount of power you apply – even players with the "+" trait need proper technique to score consistently.
Final Words
Mastering the finesse shot takes practice, but it's a crucial skill for scoring in FC 25. Focus on your approach angle, understand your player's strong foot, and make the most of those with the Finesse Shot+ PlayStyle. With consistent practice and the right player selection, you'll start curling shots past goalkeepers with confidence.
