How to finish the current action? | Attack FIFA 16 Guide

Through ball and heading out into a clear-shot position

Let's be clear about this - there is no better way to end the current action than an effective, well-timed, pass to the heading out player. If only you manage to pass by the entire defensive formation with a cross pass, and time well your pace with that of the forward, the chances that the forward tackles the ball are high and, at the same time, you win several seconds to the player heading out on the side.

Centering from the side of the field

If you have completely no idea on how to form a directly threatening situation at the opponent's goal, then there is no point in mulling over your options - simply, play the ball to the side and send it, immediately, towards the penalty area. The chances that the ball drops on the head of one of your offensive players are definitely higher, than surprising the goalie with a 40-meter shot. This kind of play may, additionally, result in an inaccurate shot to the foot of your player in front of the penalty area, or provides you with an opportunity to resume the game after a corner kick.

Field con artist - coercing a throw from sidelines or corner kick

Often, the opponents get you cornered and make it impossible for you to continue the action in any way. This way, you simply need to prove yourself to be a bit of a field con artist and rebound the ball from the leg of a nearby opponent, which often results in resuming the game from sidelines or after the corner kick.
