Similar to the previous point with a twist that will confuse most opponents, choosing a team and then ripping up their philosophy can be a master-stoke online or in one off games against your mates. For example, Real Madrid and Bacrelona have the best attacking players in FIFA 15 blessed with pace, skill and technique. They can all shoot, pass and have fairly good stamina which is why straight off the bat, they should be set up defensively. 4-3-3 is the obvious choice when choosing Madrid or Barcelona but a more compact unit will be truly difficult to beat. The good players like Messi and Súarez and Bale and Ronaldo will always get into the right areas when you are attacking, no matter what setting you choose. Use this to your advantage. Rotate players and switch up tactics throughout the game to confuse your opponents defensive defaults. If you notice that Jordi Alba is man marking Ronaldo, have him switch wings with Bale. If Iniesta is playing in the hole, have Modric slot in to help the defence out. Ramos and Pique are great defenders but can only stop so much. Use the teams complete bench, switch tactics whenever you see a change and don't forgot to delve into team management to truly learn the in game options. Master what's on offer and you will soon become unbeatable.
