5-star skillers are some of the most memorable and fun-to-use players in FIFA Ultimate Team. From the flamboyant stars of previous years like Yassine Chikhaoui and Adel Taarabt, to FIFA 22’s much-loved ballers like Kylian Mbappé and Jadon Sancho, these are the best players to use if you enjoy humiliating your opponents and scoring outrageous goals.
In FIFA 22, there was a large roster of players with 5-star skill moves. From some of the top-rated talents to some Silver hidden gems, there were plenty of skillers to squeeze into your Ultimate Team.
Among the usual suspects like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Paul Pogba were some new additions too. A mix of brand new faces to Ultimate Team and veterans that had earned an upgrade to their skill move rating meant that the roster is a little different to FIFA 21.
