FIFA 19: 10 Expert Tips To Play Like A Boss

2. Use Chipped Shots Aplenty Against Human Players

Back in the halcyon days of FIFA 09, chipped shots were an unbelievable asset. Goalkeepers would sprint off their lines like they were running away from danger and would be easily picked off with a deft chip sailing right over their heads into an empty net. That had to change for obvious reasons, and yet chips haven't been consigned to the nearest bin completely.

They're well-worth trying online.

Think about what that means for a second, and it all makes sense. Human players, unlike their CPU-controlled counterparts, are more prone to knee-jerk reactions and split-second, hair-brained decision-making that leaves them vulnerable. Online, this writer has already come across countless gamers who enjoy holding Triangle/Y and bringing their keepers out willy nilly.

That's when to chip, and it's a satisfying way to relive the good old days. Just be wary that chipping AI goalies is harder than ever. They don't leave much space, meaning you're better off blasting a shot rather than attempting any finesse.
