FIFA 21: How to Do the Drag Back
Last year, Drag Back was the most important and effective skill move of all, and in FIFA 21 the movement will again play an important role in the offensive game. However, the introduction of agile dribbling has changed the execution this time. The most important part: It is still very easy to use and still allows movements in all directions.
To do the drag back in FIFA 21 you first have to hold L1+R1 or LT+RT and then move the left analog stick first in the opposite direction of your running direction and then in the direction you want to move.
For example, if you are running to the left towards the goal and want to run down, press L1+R1 and move the left analog stick first to the right and then down.
