FIFA 23 incorporates the most iconic skill moves into the game, and one of them is the Elastico. Ronaldinho is a player who helped popularize this move and only the top-rated players (five-star skill moves) can pull it off. It’s one of the best moves to catch defenders off-guard. There are also other variants of the Elastico to try in the game, such as the Hocus Pocus, Triple Elastico, and more. This is how to do the Elastico in FIFA 23.

Beginners may take a while to practice the Elastico, but if you’re ready to take on the challenge, you may want to start with the regular Elastico move and the In Air Elastico. Once you’re confident with doing the move, you can take them to the pitch after perfecting them in the Practice Arena. It’s also worth noting that five-star skill moves is obviously preferred for this set of moves.

You can do the move all over the pitch, but it’s likely something you’ll want to do inside the box (or around it). This is because it’s a risky move, and you don’t want to be losing the ball around midfield while trying to pull this off. In general, it gives you a quick, believable fake one way while you still have an opening for a swift exit.
