Last update: 26 September 2018
It's hard to imagine scoring a goal without a shot, and without accurate shots you can't win the match. In FIFA 19 you can score goals by shooting the most varied, often sophisticated shots. Knowing the types of shots and using them properly will surely affect the quantity and quality of goals scored. This chapter describes the types of shots available in FIFA 19.
Classic strong shot
A classic, strong shot is often the easiest and best way to finish the action. A classic shot can be used from virtually any position, but the effectiveness of the shot depends on the precision and strength with which you kick the ball towards the opponent's goal box. If your player has gained some free space and your opponent's defenders are already running in his direction and you don't have time to construct further action, a classic shot will be the best solution. To make a classic, strong shot, press the button responsible for the shot and choose the direction in which you want to send the football.
Timed shot
Attack at the right time allows for a much better, more accurate and stronger shot than a classic shot. Shooting this kind of shot is not the easiest, it requires a lot of precision and mastery. In order to perform a timed shot, press the button responsible for the shot, and then press it again when the two lines responsible for the pace are in the middle of the additional shooting bar (the additional bar can be turned off in the game options). Timed shot should be used during shots from the head or from the volley. Other finishing situations, such as in a one on one situation or when shooting from behind the penalty field, should be solved with a normal strong shot, a fine shot or a low chip shot. It is worth noting that the timed shot can be completely switched off in the game options and do not have to bother with it during the game.
Low chip shot
Low chip shots are much more difficult for the goalkeeper to defend due to the height ball's flying altitude. In the process of defending such a shot, the ball is often paired on a corner or "spat out" by the goalkeeper which creates a convenient situation for finalizing the action by hitting the ball to the goal box. Unfortunately, chip shots are not very accurate so their proper use will require a lot of practice. If you want to perform a low chip shot, you should press the button responsible for the modifier and the modifier of the finesse shot and the button responsible for the shot.
Finesse shot
Unlike the classic, strong shot, a finesse shot translates precision over power, so the ball is kicked with less force. The best time to shoot a finesse shot is when the goalkeeper is alone or he leaves the goal box. When taking this shot, be careful to make it with less force than with a normal shot. It should also be noted that this type of shot is mainly effective for technically well-trained athletes. To make a finesse shot, hold down the button responsible for modifying the finesse shot and the button for the classical shot and indicate the direction.
Lob
A lob is a move that has the intended effect when the opposing team's goalkeeper is at a significant distance from the goal box line. Another good example of this shot is when the goalkeeper charges your player. To perform a lob, hold down the button responsible for the shot and the modifier and select the appropriate direction.
Bicycle kick
Execution of a bicycle kick depends on of a suitable situation in the opponent's penalty area, so it is not too frequent. The most convenient moment to perform a bicycle kick is when the ball is going about 10-13 meters in front of the goal box line. This move requires very good technical training so not every player will be able to perform it. To make a bicycle kick, press the button responsible for tempo control and the button to shoot in the right direction.
Header shot
When the ball is in the air and at the right height, your player will try to shoot with his head. A header shot is often the best and easiest way to score a goal after a successful crossing. To make a header shot just press the button responsible for the shot. To send the ball to the bottom of the net, press the shot button twice.
Volley shot
When the ball glides in the direction of your player, but it's flight trajectory won't let you to perform a header shot, your player may try to perform a volley shot. This results in a strong shot when the ball is still in the air. These shots are very strong and effective. In order to shoot from the volley it is enough to press the button responsible for the shot.
