FIFA 16: 10 Tips To Play Like A God

FIFA 16 has improved its position and the AI controlled players seem to control the space a lot more realistically then they did on last year's game. The oppositions' shape remains extremely disciplined throughout the whole game and no longer gifts you opportunities like it has doing on previous versions. Therefore it's important to press your opposition players from the minute you lose the ball (AKA play the German inspired tactic of the moment 'Gegenpressing'). You need to pick the right player to press and it's crucial that you maintain your defensive game even when there isn't any immediate pressure. By pushing up the field using your (L1/LB) 'switch player' you can then move him to mark your opponents key ball players.
