What are Manual Headers in FIFA 23?

When the ball is played high in the air, strikers will automatically position themselves to try and direct the ball into the back of the net with their header. This works well most of the time, but sometimes you’ll want more control over your player’s position when the ball is played up to them. This is where manual headers come in.

With manual headers, you have complete control over your player’s movements when the ball is in the air. This means you can direct the ball exactly where you want it to go, making it much easier to score headers than before.

Using Manual Headers
