Are skill moves the key to master SB?
Hi fellow SB players. Through FIFA 19, I reached a notch up against the CPU from Pro to World class but now I feel stuck. I first thought that beefing up my squad would help but I realized that the AI adjusts its level accordingly: I perform the same with a 82 team or with a 86 team. I play patiently, move the opponents around but sometimes it’s not enough. I am wondering if the key is to skill move the CPU. Until now, i’ve been using a bit of roll back and fake shots. Tried to croquetize a bit but mostly ended up by throwing the ball upward instead.
Are skill moves the key to reach the next level? Do you use it in SB? Thanks for your feedback.

Counter attacks and corners are usually how I score against the harder settings. Direct attack shots get blocked 9 out of 10 times.
Am sure it wouldnt work vs a person cos they would just smash the ball over the top and outpace my basic CB's but the AI never tried this. It tries to ping pong pass and since most of the players are in a small area of the pitch (in their half), it just doesnt work very well for it.
The only real difference better players make it finishing. If I play my 1st team against the AI in this formation, Prime Best, Zlatan and R10 are far more clinical than Long, gold Anderson etc
Not even sure patience is the key, hit it wide, run, shot fake, cut back.
Do not allow the cpu to shoot, it will go in, 99% of the time at the near post.
Don’t be afraid to hit a first time, long timed finish if you have the chance
If the cpu starts skill moving or skating side to side they are about to score. Foul them.
Corners work, for me the highest success is to drag a player for a quick short corner, turn away from goal and hit a lofted cross to the back post.
Even in Legendary mode, if you slow down, the cpu players will slow down too.
Just keep in mind they can kick right through your players as if they are made of mist lol.
Patience/keep it slow is what allowed me to progress up to certain level, but is definitely not the whole story. On higher difficulty level I feel I have to find the right tempo to not rush like a fool, while building fast enough to create enough chances.
After all the game i played, I am very puzzled at how players manage to beat elite teams in SB in Ultimate.
Score with headers. AI has difficulty defending those.
This is underrated advice
Also heel2heel on the edge of the box, they tend to stand off for a split second, and shoot immediately after the skill move is performed. I scored 3 goals like this in one game against the top team in legendary, and normally I struggle to get to 5 goals but managed at least 4 every game easily last night.
