FIFA 19 Penalty Saving Tutorial

Head Movement of the Penalty Taker

The first key trick to saving penalties in FIFA 19 is looking at the head movement of the penalty taker. Whichever way the penalty taker is aiming, you will notice that their head will move slightly towards that direction. This requires you to keep a close eye on the opponent’s head as soon as the penalty is given.

However, good penalty takers may realise that the goalkeeper is looking for this and change direction at the very last second. Doing this can increase risk though, as it generally decreases the accuracy of the penalty. You must also pay very close attention to this, as you will need to react very quickly when this happens.

Paying Attention to the Power Bar

When saving FIFA 19 penalties, you don’t only need to choose which side to dive, there are also three different heights that you need to consider. These heights are known as low, middle and high. The power bar of your opponent is key to determining this, as it signifies the height at which the penalty will be taken. This is displayed in the bottom left corner of your screen.

As well as knowing which way to dive by the player’s head movement, if the power bar is below one bar, this means that you need to dive at a low height. If the power bar is above one bar, but below two bars, you will need to dive at a medium height. Finally, if the power is above two bars, then dive at a high height.

This can be practiced in the practice arena. If both these tricks are carefully followed, this will enable you to win almost every FIFA 19 penalty shoot out and give you a big advantage against your friends and in competitive online play. You can potentially even boost your FUT Champions weekend league rank!
