A total of 45 players have five-star skill moves in FIFA 23, with EA Sports naming these players as the most skilful in world football.

FIFA 23 released on 30 September and having five-star skill moves remains one of the most valuable assets a player can have in EA Sports’ popular video game.

Skill moves can be used to bamboozle opponents and create goal-scoring opportunities that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. Therefore, as expected, most players with five-star skill moves are either midfielders or forwards, rather than defenders or goalkeepers.
