In FIFA 23, players get to perform some of the finest skill moves to move past defenders. The McGeady Spin is one of the best skills to make a 90-degree turn against the defender. Popularized by former Everton player Aiden McGeady, this skill move allows you to swiftly change direction away from the opponent. It can be performed in any of the game modes, and we recommend using players with four or five-star skill ratings.
The McGeady Spin is unique in FIFA 23, and there are a few variations to it in the game. The Moments in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team requires players to complete a few challenges to get free packs. While some of the challenges can be difficult, others only require players to do certain moves.
One of the challenges in the Mbappe Rising Star Moments needs players to perform this skill move. The McGeady Spin is an excellent move to cut in from the flanks to provide a cross or have a shot at goal. Pacey wingers with good shooting skills can use this skill effectively to cut past winger-backs with ease.
