About Five Heads Soccer

Five Heads Soccer puts five big heads on a side, or five in the name and a crowded box. More heads, more own-goals.

How To Play Five Heads Soccer

Know who you control

If you only steer one head, do not run all five into the ball.

Mark the back post

Crowded boxes lose to a free header at the back stick.

Pass out if you are surrounded

A shot through three teammates is a block.

Gameplay Experience

Small sided

You see the ball the whole time. There is nowhere to hide a bad touch.

Goals are cheap if you rush

Five heads in the six-yard box is a pinball own-goal.

Rematches are the mode

These games are built to play again immediately.

Gameplay Mechanics

Move / kick / jump

If a header exists, it is a jump. If a shot exists, it is a kick button.

Keeper

Some games give you one. Do not leave the line to join the pile.

Special

A charged shot is for an open look, not a 40-yard hope.

Tips & Strategies

  • 01

    First touch toward the goal

    A fancy touch into traffic is a turnover.

  • 02

    Shoot when they plant

    Leave one head on the line.

  • 03

    Stay goal-side on defense

    Chasing the ball past your own man is how you get chipped.

  • 04

    If it is 2v2, one stays

    Both attacking is an empty net.
