In EA FC 25 guarantees spectacular goals with the bicycle kick. In Ultimate Team, you even need it to complete a task. On MeinMMO, we explain how to perform the bicycle kick and which players are suitable for it.
What is the bicycle kick? The bicycle kick describes an acrobatic shot on goal where the player stands with their back to the goal and directs the ball mid-air with a volley towards the opponent’s net. In this move, your player is almost horizontal in the air and propels the ball with one leg over their head.
How to perform the bicycle kick in FC 25: To perform a bicycle kick in FC 25, you need to hold down the L2 button or LT button when charging the shot (circle button/B button) during a high pass/cross. 2 of the 4 charge bars are sufficient to give the shot enough power. Your player will position themselves beforehand to bring the ball towards the opponent’s goal with a bicycle kick.
For preparing a bicycle kick, it is best to use a normal cross into the penalty area (square button/X button), which you deliver near the goal line. The ball is then played slightly behind your strikers. This offers the best chances for the player to execute a bicycle kick.
Corner kicks are also suitable because you can play precisely behind your strikers during these set pieces. The best set-piece takers from the center-back position in FC 25 can be found on MeinMMO.
