Scissors Move your faking foot around the ball and plant it on the outside of it. Immediately cut the ball with the outside of your other foot and accelerate.
Tip: Do not pause right after executing the fake. Instead, cut the ball as quickly as possible.

Double scissors
This is an advancement from the standard Scissors move except that after executing the two fakes you cut to the inside instead of out.
Tip: To keep the exercise more realistic, make sure the ball is not stationary as you're executing the feints around it.

Rivelino move In the Rivelino you feint by moving one foot around the ball from the outside in. Then you cut the ball using the outside of the same foot.
Tip: Make sure you accelerate after performing the fake. The success of any feint is largely determined by the first step you make right afterwards.

Matthews
The Matthews is a two-step move that involves pushing the ball to the inside and then immediately
cutting in the opposite direction. To make it even more effective you can gently scoop the ball as you cut to the outside.

Fake kick
A fairly simple move where you fake an instep drive kick, but you cut the ball across your body instead. Make sure you use your upper body to make it more believable.
Tip: Usually, this will work when the enemy is coming in at speed. Another good time to apply the fake is when you're receiving the ball, at first touch.

Lunge
Although it may look sophisticated from the side, there's nothing special about the lunge.
Dip your shoulder each time you lunge so that it looks as if you're really going to cut the ball.
