Elastico Is an older skill move and requires five-star skill moves – so that limits the skill to just a clutch of players on this year's game.
The key is to use this inside the box when you're standing still to give you a quick fake one way and swift exit into the other. It's perfect to use inside the box if you are lacking the space and or have defenders in close proximity.
To perform, simply roll RS from right clockwise to left. This skill is sometimes referred to as a flip-flap and is most commonly associated with Ronaldinho, though plenty of Premier League players over the years have performed it.
