Through balls | Tactical solutions FIFA 2006 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Through balls are as lethal as crosses. They're not easy but better try to master this element of the game.

To perform through balls, set the formation presented below.

At the beginning, you have to create a situation in which one of your midfielders will have the ball.

Start running towards the box. When one of your strikers will stand in one line with defenders (beware of offside traps!), press [W] or [Q] + [W] to perform a through ball.

Now you control the forwarder. Run towards the goal and try to avoid defenders at the same time (press [E] to sprint or zigzag).

Now we've got chance to score a goal. Press [D] or [Q] + [D] to perform a shot.
