When you're in a 1v1 situation, there are many great 1v1 techniques to help you get out of trouble and score more goals. But the question is, what are the best 1v1 techniques in FC 26? That's what we'll be discussing today.

In this article, I'll show you five techniques that I believe are best suited for 1v1 situations. If you execute these techniques at the right time and place, the effects in the game will be significant.

• Ball Roll Scoop Turn
• La Croqueta
• Explosive Stepover
• Agile Body Feint Exit
• Stepover Acceleration

Ball Roll Scoop Turn

This technique requires a high level of player technique and is rated five stars. The operation is as follows: Slide the stick left or right and hold the right analog stick, then immediately press Square + X (PS) / X + A (Xbox) to perform a fake shot.

Ball Roll Scoop Turn is a classic technique from FC series, and it makes a strong comeback in FC 26, even more effective than ever before. This five-star technique is the ultimate weapon for quickly changing direction, combining the gentle lateral movement of a rolling ball with the explosive power of a flick and turn.

Its main purpose is to completely confuse defenders, especially when advancing quickly down the flank or cutting inside from the side. If timed correctly, Ball Roll Scoop Turn can create an almost unstoppable moment for the opponent, heading straight for the goal, making it a common tactic under high pressure near the penalty area.

Mastering this move is all about timing. First, complete the rolling ball motion, then trigger a fake shot while the rolling animation is in progress. Note that during the fake shot, do not flick the left stick in any direction; it will automatically complete the turn. Ball Roll Scoop Turn is quite difficult and can be practiced in Arena to master the timing.

La Croqueta

This technique srequires four stars. The operation is as follows: Hold LB (Xbox) / L1 (PS) and hold Right Stick directly to your player's left or right side.

La Croqueta is a high-success-rate, low-risk techniques, perfect for creating crucial gaps in the most congested areas of the pitch. In the current FC 26, this move has been tweaked, making it faster and eliminating the forward momentum at the end of the animation, making it more effective than ever.

Its power lies in its simplicity and speed. When you're facing a defender head-on, a well-timed La Croqueta can create a split-second passing or shooting opportunity; you need to execute the move before they recover. Remember, the direction is always relative to your player's movement, not the camera's view.

Explosive Stepover

This move also requires four stars. Here's how to execute it: Hold L1/LB and rotate Right Stick from the forward position to the left or right.

Explosive Stepover is one of the best new moves in FC 26. It's an upgraded version of the old speed-boosting stepovers, far surpassing them. This move is designed for instantaneous acceleration, allowing you to break through in any direction from a standstill or jogging position.

This move is especially effective when facing a defender head-on on the wing, allowing you to quickly reach the byline for a cross or cut inside to shoot. Unlike other moves, this move creates space through pure speed. When you sense the opposing defender is about to move to your side, use Explosive Stepover to break in the opposite direction, often leaving the opponent helpless.

Agile Body Feint Exit

This move is relatively simple, requiring two stars. The specific operation is as follows: Move the right stick left or right, then immediately point the left stick to your desired angle.

Although Agile Body Feint Exit is simple, it is one of the most effective techniques for one-on-one against defenders. Agile Body Feint Exit relies on subtle technique and a quick change of direction, catching a pressing opponent off guard.

By feinting in one direction and then dashing in another, you force the defender to shift their weight, creating valuable space for acceleration or a shot. After completing the feint (moving the right stick), you must immediately push the left stick in the new direction and hold down the sprint button. This series of rapid actions is the key to Agile Body Feint Exit, leaving opposing defenders helpless.

Stepover Acceleration

This technique is usable by most FC 26 players, requiring two stars. The specific steps are as follows: Rotate the right stick outwards in a quarter-circle arc, then immediately push the left stick and dash in the opposite direction.

Stepover Acceleration is truly exceptional, transforming a basic techniques into a powerful weapon. A precise step can momentarily freeze a defender, and when combined with a sudden reverse acceleration, you can create distance and escape their defense.

While similar to Explosive Stepover, the key difference lies in its subtlety and directional control. Stepover Acceleration is a feint, using an overstep to mask your true direction. This move is highly effective from a standstill or during slow dribbling, allowing you to initiate cuts or create new passing lanes.
