The Drag to heel in FC24 is an effective way to change lanes and get past defenders, especially when working in from the wings to deceive a fullback. In this guide we will be bringing you examples from FUTWIZ pro player Dylan.

To perform the drag to heel your player needs to have 4 star skill moves, if you are unsure which players have 4 star skills you can check out the link below to find every player who is able to use the drag to heel.

Let's start by learning how to perform this skill move, in this example we will show the skill as if your player is running from right to left so it’s easy for you to replicate in the arena and learn this for yourself.

To begin, start by holding down L1 (PlayStation) or LB (Xbox) and flicking the right stick backwards from the way you are running and then either left or right depending on which way you want to exit the skill.

Now let’s take a look at some examples of when you should be using this skill in-game.

Dylan always likes to perform this skill when he is parallel to the bylines, as you can see here

Once you have worked your way into this area you can look to perform the skill and create space for the pass inside and look to get into areas like this where you are 1 on 1 with a defender.
