How to Perform the Drag Back Elastico
These instructions are for a player who is facing towards the opposition goal when shooting from left to right

As mentioned the skill is split into two parts, firstly you will need to perform the Drag Back skill move, this can be done when standing still or when moving forward slowly (this cannot be done whilst sprinting)

In order to perform the Drag Back, you need to hold L1/LB and R1/RB, then move the left stick in the opposite direction you are facing, see the button combination below:

Once you have carried out the Drag Back, you will then be at a standstill which is when you will perform the Elastico, and the way to do this is by moving the right thumb stick from 6 o’clock to 12 o’clock as show in the image below:

Simply combining those two skill moves is how you perform the Drag Back Elastico.

When should you use the Drag Back Elastico?
This skill move is most effective when you are in and around the opponents penalty area, the reason for this is that when executed it allows you to stand up your opponent with the drag back than burst into space with the elastic, making it difficult for the defender to recover and get the tackle.

Here is an a example of when to use the skill move, in this example you can see that the opponent has control of the centre defender, and by executing the drag back you force the defender to come towards the ball, and at that point you execute the elastic which will burst you into the space

Overall this is a very effective skill move and if timed correctly it can open up a lot of spaces within your opponents defence.
