FIFA rewards players who play a simple game. Want to hold possession? Pick Barcelona. Want to be solid at the back and work as a team? Atletico Madrid will yield great joy. Fancy a blistering all out attacking devastation? Manchester United or Real Madrid can destroy teams. Doing the simple thing right consistently means a lot more victories. Often times, games can be turned on their head with a piece of magic from Ronaldo or Messi, but a solid player can always adapt to a moment of magic from one of the games superstars. The best part is, it won't take long to figure out what works best for you. Tactics and formation are equally important to pace and skill and it's vital to get them right. Experiment with random teams, switch formations and attack/defence levels and see what works. Team choice is only half the battle, it's the in game options that truly define the type of player you are. Don't stubbornly pick a team because they are rated the best, pick a team who you can mould in your play style.
