Goalkeepers don’t often get the recognition they deserve. But in FIFA 21, they’re kind of a big deal, and they’re even better when you learn how to control them<\/strong>. It makes sense to do so considering you’ll have to control them anytime they make a save or take a goal kick.<\/p>\n

But it goes deeper than that. There will be times where you’ll need to use the more complex controls such as covering the far post on a corner, or even switching to the goalkeeper and controlling them manually in a one-on-one.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here’s a list of all the goalkeeper controls for both Playstation and Xbox.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Kicking, passing, and throwing are easy enough. You’ll often want to look for the short option, and a quick roll or throw is the best way to achieve that. Other times, you’ll want to aim somewhere in the middle, and a kick or a throw will make that possible.<\/p>\n

But if you’re going to add more power and drive to a kick or a throw, don’t forget to use their driven variants. These are particularly good when launching a quick counter-attack.<\/p>\n

Dropping the ball is also a high-risk, high-reward play. If you’re able to avoid getting tackled, you’ll be able to draw attackers forward and create openings elsewhere in the pitch. It has a kind of domino effect, whereby one opening makes another, and so on.<\/p>\n

If you want to, you can take the keeper out and go for a run. But it’s a much safer bet to look for an option to pass to at the right time and release the ball accordingly.<\/p>\n
