defender on the wing.

Take full advantage of the gap that will be created between your player and the opposition.
Best contextual skill
A contextual skill is one that can only be completed when a defender is approaching, as you quickly jink past.
If your isolated against the back four, this is perhaps the most efficient, and easiest skill to execute.

If the skill is completed correctly, your player should dink the ball over the defenders leg and burst into the space.
Best flair skill
The McGeady spin is a variation of the Roulette that is very familiar to PES players.
Named after after now Sunderland man Aiden Mc-Geady, the move can be used to cut inside on the wing, as your opposing full back can't change direction quickly enough.
Controls
Auto-feint must be switched ON
With your player running from left to right:
1) Flick RS RIGHT (the direction that your player is running in)
2) Flick LS UP or DOWN (either, as long as it is 90 degrees away from the player’s direction)
