You’ll be more unpredictable, more clinical and as a result of it, you’re more likely to win more games.

Finding the right Stats

To master this skill, there is only one stat you really need to focus on (if you haven’t guessed already) and that is the SHOOTING statistic.

This category is broken down into 6 different categories: Positioning, Finishing, Shot Power, Long Shots, Volleys and Penalties.

The main one to look at is obviously the ‘long shots’. I would recommend players with that stat at 80 or above for maximum conversion rates.

You also want to use a player with above average curve stats. This is especially important for finesse shots as it ensures the ball will curl in to the top corner.

A perfect example of somebody with perfect stats would be Lionel Messi. His base card has 93 curve and he also possesses the finesse shot trait, making him EVEN MORE likely to convert his attempts.

However, even though this is recommended, it is not mandatory. You may find with experimentation that players with lower shooting stats can still score long shots (shots outside of the box).

Angling your shot

The main aspect of scoring goals outside of the box is the angle in which you execute the shot. This is what determines whether or not you score a goal.

Shooting near post this Fifa is extremely over powered, i would recommend aiming near post unless the opponent starts moving their keeper. If they do start moving their keeper you want to shoot ACROSS the keeper, into the far corner.

Aiming

An important factor in the aiming of your shot, counts on the direction of the left stick (LS) when you are powering up your attempt on goal.

You want to aim the stick into the far side of the goal (45 degree angle bottom left if you are shooting to the left and a 45 degree angle bottom right if you are shooting to the right). 

Power

In terms of power, you want to use a maximum of three bars. Going beyond this threshold will result in the ball flying over the bar and into the crowd.

Three bars of power gives the ball enough velocity to hit the target before the goalkeeper can reach it and gives the ball enough power to rise and dip into the back of the net.

The same goes with finesse shots outside of the box. Although they are harder to score this year, when you get the space, it is worth it.
