How to Master Dribbling in FIFA Mobile

Dribbling is perhaps the most important skill in FIFA Mobile. Whether you're attempting to beat stubborn defenses or find space in congested areas, good dribbling can be the difference between scoring and losing the ball. Here's how to take your dribbling to the next level and become a virtual maestro on the pitch.

How to Master Dribbling in FIFA Mobile

Understand the Types of Dribbling

FIFA Mobile offers several dribbling mechanics you can master:

• Basic Dribbling: Controlled by swiping on the left joystick. The longer the swipe, the more distance your player covers.

• Skill Moves: Every player possesses a skill move rating (1–5 stars) that opens up special tricks such as stepovers, roulettes, heel-to-heel flicks, and rainbow flicks.

• Speed Dribble: Ball-juggling while sprinting by continuously holding the sprint button. Wingers and counter-attacks will love it, but watch out—control at full speed is compromised.

Choose the Right Players

Not every player is built to dribble like Neymar or Mbappé. Prioritize attackers and midfielders with high ratings in:

• Dribbling

• Agility

• Ball Control

• Skill Move Star Rating

These attributes ensure smoother movement and quicker direction changes, especially in tight situations.

Practice Skill Moves in Division Rivals and VS Attack

Use Division Rivals and VS Attack modes to repeatedly test your dribbling in real-game scenarios. Try combining basic movement with skill moves:

• Use Roulette (360 spin) to beat one-on-one defenders.

• Try the Rainbow Flick to vault over tackles.

• Use Heel-to-Heel Flicks for a sudden burst past defenders.

Don’t Overdo It

Effective dribbling is all about timing. Don’t spam skill moves or constantly sprint—this makes your player predictable and easier to tackle. Instead, mix up your rhythm: slow down, bait defenders, then accelerate into space.

Use Training Mode

Use the Practice Arena to practice your dribbling pressure-free. Work on different chaining of movements smoothly and reaction speed.

Mastering dribbling in FIFA Mobile requires practice, patience, and accuracy. Once you master it, you'll be gliding past defenders and dictating the pace of every game.
