I’ve always been a fan of free kicks in FIFA. They can be the difference between scoring a goal and missing one, which is why it’s so important to know how to take a good one.
There are several ways to score a free kick in FIFA 23, including using the right player and making sure he is set up properly before you attempt one.
Once you have those two things covered, all that remains is learning how to kick it accurately into the net without getting caught offside (or fouled).
How to Score Free Kicks in FIFA 23
Free kicks are one of the most exciting parts of FIFA. They’re also one of the most difficult aspects to master. The good news is that with a little practice, you can do it! In this guide, we’ll give you some tips on how to score free kicks in FIFA 23 and what players are best for taking them.
First up: How do you get a free kick?
If you’re reading this article, then there’s a good chance that you already know how to take a free kick in FIFA 23 (or at least have an inkling).
Here’s how it works: If your player catches the ball within about 15 yards of their opponent’s goal line and he hasn’t been fouled by anyone else (he was tripped or tackled), then he gets awarded with an indirect free kick from where he caught it.
He can either shoot from where he is or move further away from goal before striking his shot – but only if no other player touches him while moving toward his target area.
Once again: You don’t need to be touched by another player while moving up closer toward goal; just make sure they don’t touch you at all!
FIFA 23 Free Kick Basics
Space. You need to create space for yourself in order to take a good free kick. You can do this by moving the defenders around by switching players or using fakes, so that you can get a clear shot on goal with minimal interference from your opponents.
Practice. Free kicks are tough to master and it’s easy to get frustrated when they keep missing. If you want to improve at scoring free kicks, then practice makes perfect! The more you practice, the more confident you’ll become in front of goal (and also it means less time spent watching reruns of Friends).
Technique and patience are key here – make sure that when practicing free kicks against the wall, you’re practicing with your intended target man standing behind where he would normally be positioned (i.e., if he was standing right behind where the goalkeeper would stand).
This way when kicking towards him it’ll feel more natural than if he was standing further away like most wall sessions do because then there’s less momentum in getting up enough power behind each shot which causes them all too often go over our heads instead of into our forwards’ paths where we want them too go anyway.”
Standard Free Kicks
The left stick controls the direction of your free kick and the right stick adjusts its power.
Use the left trigger to add curve, and use it again if you want more power after adding curve.
The left bumper switches between aiming at a different player or changing direction with your shot, while the right bumper does both of these at once as well as adding spin to your ball when using a chip shot or lobbed pass (this is an advanced technique that requires practice).
Outside of the Foot Free Kicks
Aim: Use the left stick to aim where you want your shot to go.
Shoot: Press shoot to take a shot.
Pass: Press pass to pass the ball.
Lob: Press lob when you are close to the wall and it will float over it. If you’ve got some distance on your shot, use this button instead of shoot so it doesn’t fly over the goal!
Volley: Press volley when in close proximity with a defender as well as when facing up against him/her, but don’t press before he/she gets onto his/her toes ready for contact (this helps avoid giving away free kicks).
Curve when close to wall: Some free kicks require curving them into certain places on goal so use curve whenever applicable during gameplay!

Practicing Free Kicks in FIFA 23
Practice is paramount to mastering a free kick, and FIFA 23 has made it easier than ever to get your kicks in. Whether you’re practicing alone or with friends, here are the best ways to ensure that your set pieces will be the real deal when they come up in game.
Practice is key, especially when it comes to mastering any skill in football. The practice arena is a great way to hone your skills while honing them into diamond-sharpness—and there’s no better way to do so than by using the ball provided by EA Sports: The Futsal Ball!
This soccer ball has been specially designed for use on indoor pitches so that you can practice inside without worrying about getting kicked off the pitch (no offense).
The ball also features special markings so that you can easily identify what kind of shot you should take at any given moment; these include lines drawn at various distances around its surface as well as arrows pointing towards where each corner of goal lies if we’re talking about outside shots or near post/far post shots from within 25 yards out.
Practise Arena
Practice Arena is a great way to practice free kicks. It’s possible to practise as much as you want without risking losing your results, so it’s the perfect place for beginners or those who want to brush up their skills.
You can set the difficulty level from Rookie through Legendary, and also choose one of 4 different wind directions (North, East, South and West) or set it manually if you’re feeling adventurous!
FUT Moments’ Free Kick Frenzy’
You may have heard that FIFA 23 has a new mode called Moments, which allows you to take control of any player and recreate their best moments from the past. One of these events is a Free Kick Frenzy where you can choose to be any team and play against another team in a free kick contest.
The concept is simple: your goal is to score as many goals as possible within a 30-second time limit. To do this, you must use cards that offer special abilities such as longer or shorter shots, stronger kicks and more accurate passes—the latter being very useful when trying to pass through defenders.
Conclusion
There you have it, a graphical guide to scoring free kicks in FIFA 23. I hope that you’ve learned something new about this amazing game and will go out there and try some of these techniques for yourself!
