The ultimate FIFA 23 Trivela guide: How to perform Trivela passes, Trivela crosses, and Trivela shots

Trivela shots are the new hot thing in FIFA 23.

We can’t have a new FIFA without also having a new broken gameplay mechanic. We may have two in FIFA 23, actually. Lengthy players are strong candidates for being the game’s most overpowered feature, but as far as pure gameplay tricks, Trivela shots take the cake.

Having an overpowered mechanic in an online game delivers the full spectrum of feelings. You’re on cloud nine when it’s you who’s benefiting and you feel cheated whenever you’re on the receiving end. One thing that can’t be denied is that overpowered features are almost always extremely fun to pull off. That’s why we can’t leave you in the dark about FIFA 23 Trivela shots.

What are Trivela moves in FIFA 23?

A Trivela is a shot, a cross, or a pass that is performed with the outer side of the foot. It was popularized by Portuguese winger Ricardo Quaresma in the 2000s but was never featured in the FIFA series—until now.

Trivela passes, crosses, and shots add an unnatural curve to the ball that makes them difficult to read, leaving defenders and goalkeepers bamboozled. In just under two weeks of existing in the FIFA universe, the Trivela has proven to be among the most powerful moves in FIFA 23. Learning how to do it can lead to many beautiful goals and many rage quits coming from the opposing side.
