Hi guys, what's up? If you have been grinding eFootball 2026 and still struggling to find the back of the net consistently, you are in the right place. 


There are tons of shooting skills in eFootball, and knowing when and how to use each one can completely change your game. 


Today we will break down every single shooting skill in the game, how to perform them, which players can use them, and most importantly, how to use them in real match situations. So, let's get started.


The Golden Rule Before You Start

Before we go into the skills, there is one critical setting you must check. Make sure your Smart Assist is turned OFF. If you keep Smart Assist on, these advanced shooting skills simply will not activate. 


The game will override your manual inputs with assisted help, and you will never be able to pull off the techniques we are about to discuss. Head into your settings, disable Smart Assist, and then come back. Trust me, this is non-negotiable.


1. Stunning Shot

Let's start with the most fundamental advanced shot in the game: the Stunning Shot.


The good news is that you do not need any specific player skill to perform a Stunning Shot. Any player on the pitch can do it. To execute it, simply flick the shoot button to the left or right while powering up your shot. 


That flick is what transforms a normal strike into a powerful, swerving stunning shot that goalkeepers hate dealing with.


This is your bread-and-butter shot from medium to long range. Once you get the timing down, you will find yourself scoring goals you never thought possible with regular power shots.


2. Double Touch + Shoot

Now we move into one of the most effective but difficult techniques: the Double Touch plus Shoot combo.


Learning the Double Touch First


To even attempt this, your player must have the Double Touch skill. If your player does not have it listed in their player card, you cannot perform this move. 


First, learn the Double Touch on its own. Tap the dash button, release it, then immediately flick the left joystick in the forward direction your player is facing. The player will quickly shift the ball between feet, creating a sharp burst past defenders.


Adding the Shot

Once you have the Double Touch down, the shooting part comes next. Perform the Double Touch first, and then shoot normally right after. Sounds simple, right? But it is not as easy as it looks. The window to get the shot off is tiny, and if you hesitate for even a split second, a defender will block it or the goalkeeper will rush out.


Practical Match Advice: In a real match, you have to be extremely fast. When your opponent's defender gets close to you, perform the Double Touch immediately to create separation. 


Then shoot in the right direction. Do not just shoot randomly. Sometimes the better option is to dribble completely past your opponent first, take a half-step to set your balance and position, and then shoot properly. 


Rushing the shot after the touch often leads to a weak effort straight at the keeper. Practice this in training mode again and again until the motion feels automatic.


3. Low Screamer

The Low Screamer is a deadly variation of the Stunning Shot, but it is locked behind a specific skill. Only players with the Low Screamer skill can perform it.


To execute it, make a Stunning Shot but keep your power gauge below 50%. The result is a screaming, low-driven bullet that skims across the grass and beats keepers before they can react. It is perfect for when you are just inside the box or at the edge of the penalty area and need power without lifting the ball.


4. Dipping Shot

Next up is the Dipping Shot, another Stunning Shot variation. Only players with the Dipping Shot skill can use it.


To perform it, make a Stunning Shot with a power gauge between 20% and 50%. The ball will lift off the ground slightly, then suddenly dip down as it approaches the goal. 


This is incredibly useful for catching goalkeepers off their line or for shots from just outside the box where a normal shot might sail over.


Important Note: If your player has both Dipping Shot and Low Screamer, be aware that Low Screamer takes priority at lower power levels. If you want the Dipping Shot specifically, you need to find that sweet spot in the 20–50% range without triggering the Low Screamer mechanics.


5. Knuckle Shot

The Knuckle Shot is one of the most visually satisfying goals you can score. Only players with the Knuckle Shot skill can perform it.

To do it, make a Stunning Shot with a power gauge between 50% and 65%. 


The ball will travel with almost no spin, knuckling through the air unpredictably. Goalkeepers struggle to read the flight path, and from a decent distance, this shot is a nightmare to save.


Use this when you have a clear line of sight to goal from range. The unpredictable movement makes it one of the most reliable long-range weapons in the game.


6. Rising Shot

Be careful with this one. The Rising Shot is an absolute rocket. Only players with the Rising Shot skill can perform it.


To execute, make a Stunning Shot with a power gauge between 65% and 95%. The ball absolutely flies. From the right angles, this shot is unstoppable. The power is so high that the goalkeeper rarely has time to react, and the ball gains height rapidly.


A word of caution: Rising Shot might break the net. Seriously, the power on this thing is immense, but if you overcharge it or shoot from too tight an angle, you will send it into the stands. Use it when you have space to wind up and a clear sight on goal.


7. Chip Shot

The Chip Shot is your best friend when the goalkeeper rushes out. It does not require any specific player skill, meaning anyone can do it. However, players who have the Chip Shot Control skill will perform it with better accuracy and more consistent height.


To execute, flick the shoot button upwards with enough power. The ball will loft over the onrushing keeper and drop gently into the net. Timing is everything here. Wait for the keeper to commit and come off his line, then calmly lift the ball over him. Too early, and he will retreat; too late, and he will smother you.


8. Curl Shot

Now we get into the curl family of shots, and this is where things get fun. You do not need any special skill to perform a basic Curl Shot.


First, your player needs to be in a diagonal position relative to the goal. You cannot curl a shot straight on; the angle matters. Once you are positioned diagonally, flick the shoot button downwards while powering up. The ball will bend around the keeper and nestle into the far corner.


This is the classic finesse shot. Mastering the diagonal positioning and the downward flick will add a completely new dimension to your finishing inside the box.


9. Outside Curler

The Outside Curler is the advanced cousin of the Curl Shot. Only players with the Outside Curler skill can perform it.


If you have been paying attention, you know that a normal Curl Shot works best with a left-footed player cutting in from the right side, or a right-footed player cutting in from the left side. The Outside Curler flips that logic entirely. It activates when you use a Curl Shot with a left-footed player from the left side, or a right-footed player from the right side.


In other words, you are curling the ball with the outside of the foot. However, there is a key limitation: it only works inside the penalty box area. Do not try this from distance. When you are tight to the byline or inside the box at a narrow angle, the Outside Curler can bend the ball around the keeper in a way they never expect.


10. Long Range Curler

Want to bend it like a pro from distance? You need the Long Range Curler skill. Only players with this skill can pull it off.


Long Range Curler is basically a Curl Shot performed from far outside the box, but with an added manual technique to make it better. First, flick the shoot button downwards and use between 50% and 70% power. 


After the shot is taken, as soon as the ball leaves your foot, rotate the joystick to the opposite direction of the curl. That extra joystick input adds more bend and precision to the shot.


This is perfect for free kicks or when you have space to shoot from 25–30 yards out. The combination of the downward flick, controlled power, and the post-shot joystick rotation creates a sweeping curler that is incredibly satisfying to score.


11. Blitz Curler

Last but definitely not least, we have the Blitz Curler. Only players with the Blitz Curler skill can perform it.


To use Blitz Curler, you need to make a Curl Shot with more than 50% power gauge. Here is where most people mess up: they use way too much power. Yes, it needs to be over 50%, but that does not mean you should max it out every time.


Practical Power Control: If you are far from goal, use a bit more power. If you are relatively close, use less. Blitz Curler works best when you shoot it from the corner sides of the penalty area, cutting inside and whipping a powerful curler across the face of goal. The ball travels fast and bends late, giving keepers almost no time to adjust.


The key is reading your distance. Do not default to full power. Learn to feel the right percentage based on where you are on the pitch, and this shot will become one of your most consistent finishers.
