It is all good to know how to score a goal or two in FC 24, but if you can’t tackle, you won’t get very far. This article will show you all Tackling in FC 24.

1. Standing Tackle

The simplest form of Tackle in FC 24 is the good ol’ standing tackle. Your player will stick a leg out in an attempt to dispossess your opponent while staying on their feet. Be careful to time your tackles carefully, or you may miss, allowing your opponent to skip past you. To perform a standing tackle, press the B button on Xbox or the Circle button on PlayStation.

2. Slide Tackle

Slide tackles are another way to nick the ball off your opponent. Timing is crucial when executing a slide tackle. If timed perfectly, a slide tackle can break down the opposition’s attacks and prevent them from gaining momentum. However, be cautious when using slide tackles, as mistimed or reckless tackles can result in fouls or penalties. Use this mechanic sparingly and only when you are confident in your timing. They’re best avoided when your opponent is in the box, as you may give away a penalty. Hit X on Xbox or the Square button on PlayStation to perform one.

3. Hard Tackle

Hard tackles put a little more oomph into your challenges. They allow you to instantly knock others off the ball with some serious force and speed if you’re in a tight spot. They should be used sparingly but can be effective at covering space if your opponent is bursting through on goal. Holding down standing (O/B) or slide tackle (Square/X) results in a more powerful tackle than just a press. You can also instantly perform a hard tackle by pressing R1/RB and hitting the slide or standing tackle button.

4. Stop The Ball Tackle

It’s primarily been brought in to stop the ball rebounding to the opponent during a slide tackle, as now there will be the opportunity to keep hold of possession and send your team on the attack. Just imagine Virgil van Dijk( His current price is 635,000 FUT 24 Coins) winning the ball back in satisfying fashion before launching a swift counter. Players can be executed by pressing RB+Y or R1+ triangle.

Last, remember that although all these tackles in FC 24 can help you against an attacker to corner him and recover the ball. But they can also make you lose by opening large spaces in the defense if you position yourself poorly, so be careful not to use it too much as it could turn against you.
