Penalties decide FUT Champions matches and knockout rounds. Master the art of penalty taking and saving with this complete tutorial — including the techniques the pros use.
Taking Penalties
Step-by-Step Guide
- Choose your side before the run-up — decide left or right corner
- Aim with left stick — point to the corner steadily, don't move last second
- Power: 2.5-3 bars for corners, 2 bars for down the middle
- Timed finish (optional): Press shoot again just before contact for a power boost
- Composure: Don't rush — let the run-up happen naturally
Penalty Placements
| Placement | Success Rate | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Top Corner | 95% | Unsaveable if executed right |
| Bottom Corner | 75% | Safe option, keeper may dive |
| Down the Middle | 50% | Risky but effective if keeper dives |
| Panenka (chip) | 40% | Mind games — only use once per match |
Saving Penalties
- Watch the opponent's aim — their run-up angle often indicates direction
- Move right stick to the corner when they start the run-up
- Stay centre occasionally — many players aim down the middle
- Tall keepers have an advantage — Courtois and Donnarumma cover more
- Mind games: Move your keeper slightly before the kick to create doubt
