What is a flair shot in FC 25?

Performing a flair shot puts more power behind your shots, while adding a bit of style. This increase in power and style means your shot has less accuracy, but it can catch the keeper off guard because of this power and speed, so it's something you might want to add to your strategy.

How to do a flair shot in FC 25

To do a flair shot in FC 25 on PlayStation consoles, you have to press L2 and Circle at the same time, without using the left stick to move. To flair pass if you're an Xbox player, you have to press LT and B at the same time, without using the left stick to move.

So in practice, let go of the left stick and quickly press the correct buttons when you want to perform a flair shot. Not using the left thumbstick is the hack to using any flair move in FC 25, as it's very hard to perform a flair otherwise. We've never been able to pull off a flair shot without letting go of the thumbstick ourselves.

Additionally, you can charge up a flair shot by holding down the inputs, similar to how you charge up a regular shot. However, be careful with this, as you need to be very accurate with the timing.
