This guide will tell you how to perform the Heel Fake Move in the game.
Heel Fake Controls & Tips – FIFA 23

The Heel Fake is a brand new 5-star exclusive skill and can be a great way to deceive your opponents and create an opening for your team.
Do note that you can only perform the Heel Fake skill when you are standing still on the ground and if you try to execute it while running or jogging then a different skill move will happen instead.
Here are the controls to perform the Heel Fake:
- Playstation: Hold L2 and flick the right analog stick to the left and then the right.
- Xbox: Hold LT and flick the right analog stick to the left and then the right.

The skill can also be performed in the opposite way and if you want to execute on the right side of the player then you just need to flick the right analogue stick to the left and then the right.
When executed correctly, it is a really great skill that can help you gain an edge over your opponents especially if you manage to catch them off guard by combining it with other skills such as the Fake Rabona and the Fake Shot Stop.
That’s it, now go ahead and perform the Heel Fake to deceive your opponents!
