Hi guys.
I am training with the knuckleball shot since some week now, and I'm glad to say I am making progress. My first Knuckleball online I scored with C Ronaldo (see vid). I read somewhere he's probably the best pick for knuckleballkicks. Problem is, I don't like playing Real/Barca all the time. What players are the best pick for these kind of shots and what abbilities are important. I though Swerve, Kicking Power and Shot Accuracy are the most important skills?

Anyone that has freekick style 11 such as Drogba, CR7, Bruno Alves etc. Anyone can do them but they are specialists

To be fair, yes. But say the player with FK style 11 has more power than ronaldo, he'll be better. But say if the guy that has more curl than ronaldo but has FK Style 4, he can't be able to perform this. Anyway the players that have fk style 11 do have a lot of dip and power. Curl doesn't play a big part, probably only outside curl playcard

Hmm, thanks. I was practicing with v Persie (he has 90 swerve, 90 kicking power, 89 accuracy) but he doesnt seem to be able to kick good knuckleballs. Is there a list of players who have FK style 11?

They have to have good shoot power too!

For example, in the standard team, ettori can't do them well (he has great swerve and ball placement but not much of shot power), while irjescu can!

I've experimented a lot to see which one had that ability. And basicaly you have to feel that the player can deliver a powerfull shot (even when not taking a free kick), those players normally will have that extra boost that will allow them to do knuckle shots easily.

So I would say that players with that kind of free kick style will get more chances, but they aren't the only ones, definitely.

True, eventhough they are more effective with the free kick style. I've done one knuckleshot with Irjescu and it curled in the last millisecond tricking the keeper but this was done in normal play, not a free kick. Whenever I try doing it on a freekick with Irjescu, it never curls and it always does with players with the freekick style 11.

And Pokerviend, I don't know tbh with players that style, only Bruno Alves, Drogba, CR7, Dani Alves (I think), Lampard (I think). I'll tell you if I find any

Thanks, I checked the PESdb, but I can't find a list there. I want to do Knuckleballs, but don't like to play Madrid. Yet, CR7 is the only guy that delivered a good swerve on his knuckeball.

Try out Dejan Stankovic and tell me how it goes. i get some decent serve with him, especially from over 30 metres out

If you use PESdb.net, you won't be able to find it. You have to go to edit sadly and search every player.
Sorry mate

I tired and its unfortunate that no one in my team(man city) has Fk11 in the motion. So does it mean that i cant do knuckle ball? or is there any alternate?

You still can but it is more effective with players that have fk11 motion. Try Adam Johnson or Yaya Toure or even Kolarov as I've hit some wild ones with him

As said by Abu, Any player can pull off a knuckle-ball however it is easier for a player who has Fk11 as the run up creates more power and gives the ball a basic straight trajectory key to the technique.
