Simple Spin and Flick Turn - As the name suggests the Simple Spin is easy to do, while the Flick Turn is more difficult but can be a lot more effective, as the defending player almost never anticipates it.
The Simple Spin involves moving with the path of the ball first – so if the ball is travelling down the screen then turn that way with it – before quickly going back in the opposite direction using the left stick. What should happen is the defending player will read the first turn and begin to position himself for an interception, which is the time to push the left stick back round and off towards the space he has just created. If the striker is quick, has good Ball Control and Dribbling then he should be able to get away most of the time.
The Flick Turn looks a lot better and happens faster, which helps to get away from your marker, but takes a bit more concentration and timing. To do it, start to turn with the path of the ball as above then hold sprint and quickly flick the right stick in the opposite direction, just like you did with the left stick for the Simple Spin. Your player should entice the defender in with the first part of the turn then flick the ball in the direction of your exit in one fluid motion, leaving the defender very little chance of catching up.
This one does take a lot of practice but it’s well worth putting the time in, as the move can be almost unstoppable. Plus it looks awesome.
