Holding position

What determines your usefulness and effectiveness in the field is the grade displayed next to the name of the player that you control. The grade is resultant from many various factors, but one of the basic ones is the ability to hold position that your player is assigned to. The spot that you should be currently in is determined by arrows appearing next to the marker - the more of them there are, the farther away you are, from your playing position, which lowers your grade by more and more decimals. Well, it is simply best to hold your ground or you may start your next match on the substitutes' bench.

Fighting for the header

On of the most important ways to score a goal, is find a convenient position that allows you to take goal shot after free kick or corner kick by your teammate. Before you perform this set piece, you need to remain in constant movement and make sure that the opponent does not block off all the positions available for heading out into a clear position - try to overtake the opponent and block him with your body, which will prevent him from covering your player.

Playing the ball and finishing actions

What you mainly do in the field depends mainly on your position. In the case of the forward, you receive most points for attacking the opponent's goal and scoring- after all, this is what such players do. Halfbacks, on the other hand, are rewarded for successful passes and, due to the fact that they exchange, between themselves, the majority of passes, you should especially pay attention to your accuracy, because each even of losing the ball discernibly affects your overall grade. When it comes to defenders, the basic criterion are successful tackling and seizing the ball - you need to remember that each unnecessary foul results in lowering the overall grade by several tenths of a point.
