It has to be one smooth motion going across and past the keeper just like in the video.

I've given up on this achievement, I've tried everything and did exactly as was shown in the video but it still wouldn't unlock.

don't give up! took me 50 tries. i unlocked it with perisic from internazionale at fut draft offline. what i did was hold LT + Shoot + Pass so the player did the fake somewhat like "the cruyff turn" or "ronaldo chop"... after that a finished with Finesse Shot.

I love how i got the divsion 1 achievement with ease but i'm unable to get this one. I've walked by the keeper 100 times whilst fake shotting i've also finessed once he's on the ground nothing works. I hate Ea.

I ended up doing it with Kovacic and the keeper didn't even dive. The 100 times I did it before that it recorded saying "Around the Keeper", so maybe it just took a while to unlock due to slow internet or something idk.

I pressed B aiming in one corner (the side of the keeper with more room between him and the post) and A in the other, I didn't hold LT and then I finessed.

Like many other people, I faked/scored well over 100 goals trying every method I've read here with no luck. Today I checked YouTube for other ideas and came across one I haven't read about... B then A to fake the shot, then move the right stick one way or another (if the keeper is in front of you move left or right on the right stick) and then shoot and score. This worked the first game I tried it. I did it with Messi, in a kickoff game with the sliders making the CPU sluggish and the keeper useless).

111 goals later Dracula aka suares did it for me! I faked with B then A moved sideways got one extra touch on the ball and then just pressed B for the goal.

Changed difficulty to Legendary and used sliders to slow CPU down and speed me up.
I did Real Madrid v Barnet (if that matters). Once in 1 on 1 with the goalie I went straight at him (not at an angle). I pressed B then A and went left and the keeper dived right. Once passed him I lobbed it in by pressing LB and B. This popped the achievement for me. Hope this helped at least one person out there.

What worked fairly quickly for me was to turn CPU sliders all the way down except for the goalkeeper's, bolting directly through the defense, then mashing fake shots by spamming B + quick A. As soon as the keeper dove forward I took my actual shot and the achievement popped.

This took me like 2 hours and literally 75 goals, probably 150+ tries. @manoverb0ard 's suggestion worked perfectly (eventually). Hopefully that's the most annoying one this year.

I've also unlocked the Division 1 achievement, and have did this fake shot crap countless times. The game keeps recording the goals for me ("Round the keeper") but the achievement never, ever unlocks.

Update Oct 30: After literally a hundred attempts, this finally unlocked. Didn't even have to finesse it, wasn't a smooth fake shot as well - keeper didn't dive initially. This achievement unlocks when it wants to.

This was how it unlocked for me:

I was having some trouble with this, i met the requirements 3 times and still no pop but i think ive found the crux of this achievement.

When you go to fake the keeper, which is done by pressing cn_A quickly after shooting with cn_B, direct your movement inside the keeper rather going around the outside of him and score, this is what worked for.

Let me know if this helped you

what do you mean by "direct your movement inside the keeper"? i met the requirements more than 30 times and no cheevo for me. if i move inside the keeper he will get the ball, please explain a little further, i'm annoyed by this achievement. thanks in advance.

I adjusted the sliders to make the goalkeeper terrible, it took me a few attempts even even with the sliders altered to get it past the keeper on the inside but you'll do it eventually

I think found the way to do this 100%, its simple just pass the keeper and score at first touch on the ball it will you get the achievement right after you score

I finally got the achievement, it took a while to actually pop up on my dashboard which is weird, I was attempting this all day and then the next day it just popped up randomly - very delayed. Very glitchy achievement.

I tried this a lot with LT + B + A and then just B or RB + B afterwards as was suggested elsewhere.

But in the end it worked for me with simply using B + A to get around the keeper (be sure to make him jump/go for your fake shot) and then i hit B again and the achievement popped right away after scoring again.

You might need a few tries though, so reduce the sliders.

Hey Guys,

I've been trying to get this achievement for ages now. I watched a lot of people getting this achievement and I think I now have the solution.

You have to make the fake shot first to make the keeper dive, then make sure you take the ball past the keeper so its the goal, your player, then the keeper. As soon as I did that method the achievement popped for me.

Let me know how you get on.

To trick the keeper with a fake shot, you must run towards him then when within a close radius/the goalkeeper approaches you to challenge hold down then press quickly. The quick pressing of after is what cancels your shooting command, which results in your playing performing a fake shot.

By "tricking" the goalkeeper, you have to prompt him to go to ground in the anticipation of the shot. If you fake shot and run around him whilst he remained on his feet, the trophy will likely not pop. The immediate shot after rounding the goalkeeper doesn't have to be a particular shot, just a normal shot and goal will count. Ideal settings to use in order to repeat this scenario for the trophy are playing on Beginner difficulty and adjusting the CPU sliders in Game Settings to 0 Sprint Speed and 0 Acceleration. These settings will allow you to freely run towards the opposition goal without being caught up too quickly by the defenders. It will likely take you several attempts before the trophy pops. Refer to the video below for a visual example.

To do this play against beginner and the easiest way i found is through ball and try to get out 1 v 1 against goalkeeper. You have to time it right when you are nearing him slide your thumb from B to A really quickly to fake shot, you can practise during the game to get a hang of it. Try and squeeze past him so he is more behind you and score into the empty net and the achievement should unlock, this might take you a few times, stay persistent. Took me 3 matches just focusing on this achievement. Also made a video on how I got this, hope I was helpful.

VIDEO
It is necessary to go 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper. After this, hold down L2 + IMPACT and at the moment the power is filled, press PASS and then go to the side using the right stick, after the feint we score and get the trophy. It is very important to add movement using the right stick, otherwise it won’t count)

Just click and immediately + to the side, remove the goalkeeper and score a goal.

A false swing is performed by quickly sequential or simultaneous pressing of buttons + or + . When approaching the goalkeeper, it is advisable to press and hold and release it directly in front of the goalkeeper , press a false swing and use the left stick in any direction, and then shoot at the goal. and the right stick does not need to be pressed at all when performing this element.

The essence of the trophy is not in the right stick, but in the fact that you need to make the goalkeeper dive and go in the opposite direction, and then score.
