Field players | Playing as single players FIFA 15 Guide

Holding position

The basic criteria of your usefulness on the field is marked by the grade by the name of your player. It is affected by multiple factors, but one of the main ones is keeping and controlling the position on which you play. The area where you should stay, is defined by arrows appearing by the indicator - the more of them, the farther you are from your nominal position, and the lower the final grade will be. You should stick to the formation and follow the tactics - otherwise you may be prematurely replaced by a substitute.

Fighting for a position during set pieces

Fighting for the best possible position during free shots or corners is usually associated with pushing your way through the enemy players, while looking for a suitable position for taking a shot at the goal - and this is how it goes in FIFA 15. Before the ball is shot, you have to be constantly in motion and make sure that an opponent is not blocking you off completely - try overtaking him and block him with your own body, preventing him from covering your player.

Using opportunities and playing the ball

Your main focus on the field depends mostly on what position you are assigned to. If you are an attacker, for example, you will get the most point for shots and scoring goals - this is after all, the main responsibility of the most forward players. Midfielders are rewarded for good passes, and since they do that more often than others, you should keep an eye on their accuracy. The basis of grading a defence player are successful takeovers and interceptions - however, keep in mind that each unnecessary faul lowers the overall grade by a few decimals.
