    When to use Player Lock in FC 27

    Player Lock is the tool that gives you the most control over off-the-ball movement, but it is not meant for every attack. Chousita explains when it makes sense: when the AI is not giving you the run you want. In this first part: how to activate it, how it differs from an L1 run and its three uses (creating a passing lane, attacking space and freeing up a team-mate), plus the four most common mistakes.

    Advanced Player Lock in FC 27

    The follow-up to “When to use Player Lock”. Against a good opponent, making the run is not enough: you need to know what to do after they react. Chousita shows you how to read the defender (do they follow you, let you go or jump to the ball?), how to use Player Lock as a decoy to create two threats with a single movement and how to apply it in a match depending on whether your opponent is aggressive, passive or follows every Player Lock you make.
