Prevent a goal with a Sliding goal line clearance

How to unlock the Keeper's Best Friend achievement in EA SPORTS FIFA 15 - Definitive Guide

I did it with 2 controllers.
Position your defender on the goal line in the middle. Rush your goalie with Y, shoot a weak shot with your second controller to make sure it's a ground shot and immediately press X on you first controller. Your defender should make a sliding tackle clearance. Please see a clip below.
EDIT: If you are struggling with too much traffic on the defense set the team to 3-4-3 formation and keep fouling till the defenders are sent off. This should clear the path. Credit goes to IRON MAN Ai, see his full comment below.
Thanks Iron Man!

Right finally did this, got Real Madrid (do not bother, they are extremely tedious, I swear they have yellow/red card unvunerability lol), put them into a 343 formation, got 2 defenders and 2 midfielders sent off clearing a lot of space at the back as only 1 defender was left. If you get a player blocking the shooting 2nd controller player move them into midfield and they will stay there.

Position defender on line, shooting player to the left or right of the D (still inside it though), hold Y to pull keeper and as he approaches the penalty spot double tap shoot on the 2nd controller (I was having problems as the keeper kept saving the shots so keep hold of Y until the shot clears him), and be really fast on the sliding tackle. A few attempts on this because even though he saved them with a sliding tackle it didn't "CLEAR IT UP FIELD" so had to keep doing it. Good luck everyone!

This seems like the best idea. Gonna give it a go... Sick of trying other method. ive had defender clear it with slide tackle, but it didnt unlock coz the attacker won ball back and scored with second attempt.

upvote from me, this totally works, did it within 2 minutes. i found that you dont need to manually put player on goalline either.... just hold Y on controller 1, wait until keeper is out of the box and theres already manually a defender waiting for your shot. hit the target and achievement unlocked. simple.

Yeah how on earth did you get the defense to bugger off? I keep getting 2 or 3 players right in front of my second controller player, then if I can get past them the other defenders in the box or the GK block the shot! Did you bribe them lol

Seriously, 6 players out the box with 3 of them jibbing around in the box, looks so special. With my own players also raiding the box getting in the way too *facepalm* give up for now it's doing my head in.

set difficulty to Beginner. I know it shouldn't matter with 2 players but maybe it does. Try All out attack on both teams. Approach penalty area slowly. Pull the defender that is closest to the ball and drag him back.
Basically if you won't move your attacker too much the defenders tend to not attack so much.
Nevertheless I admit it seems to be very much luck based.

Iron Man saves the day! Finally got this one myself after hours of trying.

3-4-3 formation & I got 4 players sent off (3 defenders & 1 midfielder). Once all the fouling had stopped, I got this on my 1st shot with barely 20 mins on the clock. Couldn't believe it!

Kinoo you should add getting a few red cards to your solution. It really frees up some space to get shots off & you of all people know how much I was struggling with this one!! laugh

Luck based is all I can say. I on the other hand have scored many goals with knuckle shot. Was worried that my HDD will run out of space from the bloody recorded clips :). Still haven't popped it.

Ok after my comment 2 days ago I realised something I was doing that was really obvious, but I guess a lot of people are doing it. Make the clearance with your 1ST CONTROLLER, this is signed is as you! I don't know if it's that obvious but after trying for ages with the wrong controller I did it first time when I realised laugh

I have been struggling for donkeys on getting this. Then I found a different method.

I managed to pop it from a corner.

This is how i did it after struggling trying with 2 controllers and failing.

Set the half's to 20 minutes. Difficulty - Legendary.
Adjust the computers shot error to 1 in the sliders menu.
Turn your player switching to manual.

Play against the computer i used FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid.

Keeps kicking the ball out of play so the computer has a cross.
Position a player on the line, as soon as they take the cross bring the keeper out by holding Y.
If they have a shot on goal tap X to clear.
Rinse and repeat until it unlocks.

Otherwise throw the ball out with the keeper, wait for your player to get tackled, place another player on the line and bring the keeper right out to the computer on the ball.

You can set this up quite easily by playing against the computer on Amateur difficulty, although it isn't going to work every time. Like many other achievements in the game, this is pretty much luck based, so if it doesn't work, keep trying.

Give the opposition a corner and as the ball comes in hold [cn_Y to rush your keeper out. If you opponent gets there first they will knock the ball towards the goal. You can then keep pressing cn_X so that any nearby defender clears.

Sometimes the keeper might get to the ball first, the computer will knock the ball wide or over the bar, or your computer controlled defender might get a touch first, but if you keep trying it will come eventually.

I've managed to recreate it a few times using this method.

This one's not so hard to do vs the computer

1) First of all set sliders
User
Goalkeeper Ability - 0

CPU
Shot Error - 0
Pass Error - 0
Shot Speed - 0

This will ensure your goalkeeper is terrible at saving anything and will make the opposition shoot and pass more accurately without being able to blast it.

Also, change difficulty to LEGENDARY.

2) Now put your formation so 9, yes 9, of your players are in the opposing half. Leave 2 CB's (make sure at least one is fast) and go 'All out Attack'

This will draw your players out the way so the computer is free to shoot at your goal like mad.

3) Now in the game, make yourself a defender and stand on the line. Allow the opposition to come at you and hold cn_T to draw your keeper away, ultimately leaving the goal clear.

The computer should now shoot at goal and you can tap cn_O when the right time comes to clear.

(Note: I actually didn't slide tackle to clear off the line. For me, Ronaldo chipped towards goal and my defender acrobatically cleared off the line, causing the trophy to pop up. This way does work.)

It may take a while, your goalkeeper will be the biggest annoyance but I managed to do it in the first five minutes. Good luck.

**Big thanks to EricGarcia4 for being the guy to shoot**

You want to play online friendlies and put your tatic to all out attack and pass the ball to your keeper, then immediately change to the defender closest to your goal and position him on the goal line, then wait for your friend to shoot and slide yourself towards the ball when its close to your goalline, please see video below and good luck guys

This can be tricky so you may need many attempts.

How I did it:

use 2 controllers and give your 2nd control a free kick outside of box. Now move your wall out of way and run keeper out of goal (press the back button to switch to keeper). I ran keeper behind the free kick taker so that he couldn't run back to his goal when I switched back to a player.

Now that the keeper is out of way, move a player onto the line into the middle of goal, using your 2nd pad, hold cn_L1 and hold up on the left stick, tap cn_O. This is a " power " free kick but as you tapped it, it should just roll the ball along floor, now with your defender on line, wait for it to get near the line and tap cn_O. (you want to aim for a corner to give your defender a chance to slide it out, instead of just kicking away)

If done right and you got the timing right, your player will slide and clear if off the line, it took
me many tries so don't worry if don't get first go.

In order to get this trophy, you have to activate a particular animation. The most reliable way to do this one requires either two controllers, or a friend online helping you out. Either will work. Just follow these instructions.

01. You: Set the defence level to ‘Park the Bus’ – left on the d-pad.
02. You: Pass the ball back to your goalie. With the ball at his feet, run out beyond your defence and stop halfway between your box and the halfway line. Turn and stand facing the side-line to make it easy to take the ball off him at speed.
03. Second controller / friend: Using one of the strikers, you need to run at the ball and take it off the keeper at pace. This prevents the keeper getting in your way afterwards. Once clear, play a through-ball ground pass () towards goal just strong enough to cross the line.
04. Do nothing else but watch. The beauty of this one is that the defensive AI will do the rest for you. One of the centre-backs will automatically move to defend the ball. If the through ball is the right speed, and arrives with the defender at the line, he will automatically slide and clear it. You DO NOT have to control him.
05. Repeat until the magic happens. You may have to get a feel for the power needed for the through-ball, but generally a few attempts are all that’s needed.

I’d recommend you keep this trophy until you already have most of the rest, as you may get this through normal play along the way.

Important: make sure it is an opposition player ‘shooting’. Using the goalkeeper to pass it back at goal has proved unreliable at best.

Here’s a quick video of me getting it:

This achievement is very frustrating and difficult to get if you don’t unlock it naturally. There are four ways that I know of to get this achievement, all of which are quite difficult.

Method One: Two Controllers
Connect a second controller. Turn the passing assistance to manual. Take the ball up with the second controller, once the ball is about 30 yards out bring the goalkeeper out with the first controller with . Once the goalkeeper is nearly to the player with the ball, press  with the second controller and through ball pass it towards the goal. While this isn’t a legitimate shot, passing it towards the goal will have the ball moving slow enough to make it there in time to clear it. After you’ve passed it towards the goal quickly switch controllers and slide tackle with to clear the ball.

Method Two: One Controller
Pass the ball back to your goalie and dribble it out to about midfield. Once you get there, let the ball get stolen. Once it gets stolen quickly switch players to a defender and sprint back to the goal. If you’re quick enough you’ll get there in time to slide tackle with  and clear the ball before the CPU scores.

Method Three: Online Boosting
Start a game with a friend who’s willing to help you out. Do the same thing you would do in the Two controllersmethod. Only this method is easier as you can coordinate with your friend and don’t have to worry about switching controllers.

Method Four: Corner Kicks
When the opponent takes a penalty kick hold  to bring your goalkeeper out. As the goalkeeper is coming out start spamming . After the opponent heads it, there’s a very slight chance that your defender will slide tackle it right before it goes into the goal, as long as you’re spamming .

If you follow the hint above from memtew , then in the game settings you can also set the opponents’ strike force to 20-30, which would make it easier to parry the blows of the defender.

Here's another video tip. for two players
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXnPorpDxmA

Here's how it happened in my case:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REv9Q70e5kI
Thanks for your help, to the player with the nickname: Pachka74

PS switch to the player, run straight to the goal, to the position.
Control the goalkeeper's exit .
So that the goalkeeper is at a distance between the player holding the ball and the goal.
Next, we watch the blow, the blow should not be strong, on the bottom.
We hit the ball with our player in a tackle, pressing

This achievement can also be obtained by 1 player: select a quick match, put two strong teams against each other, difficulty level Legendary. On the field, as soon as the enemy approaches the penalty area, we run towards him with the goalkeeper (to exit the goalkeeper, hold ), but we keep our distance, otherwise the goalkeeper will knock the ball out from under the attacker’s feet. A defender will take your place in the goal, you just have to wait until the computer makes a turn, in which case we take the ball out of the goal with the defender. Trophyyours
